Preview: AC Milan vs. Udinese

Sports Mole previews the Serie A encounter between AC Milan and Udinese.

AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi will be hopeful of his team registering their first win in six matches when they host Udinese on Sunday.

The Rossoneri have drawn four of their last five matches in Serie A, but despite their disappointing run of form, Milan remain in seventh place in the standings.

Inzaghi must decide whether to retain striker Fernando Torres in his starting lineup after the striker made it eight games without a goal during the 1-1 draw with rivals Inter Milan last weekend.

Defender Daniele Bonera could return after suspension while Nigel de Jong may have recovered from a hamstring problem in time to feature at the San Siro.

Udinese began this campaign as one of the form teams in the division but their performances have deteriorated in recent weeks to leave them outside of the top six.

The Zebrette have won just once in their last seven fixtures, and coach Andrea Stramaccioni is under pressure to get an improvement out of his side.

Midfielder Silvan Wilmer is pushing for a recall to the starting lineup, but Stramaccioni may opt to keep the same XI that drew with Chievo last weekend.

Stramaccioni continues to rely on the goals coming from veteran Antonio Di Natale, with the 37-year-old having netted seven times this season while also scoring three in his last four outings.

AC Milan:

Recent form: WDDLDD

Possible starting lineup: Diego Lopez, Mexes, Zapata, Rami, De Sciglio, Essien, Muntari, Menez, Bonaventura, Fernando Torres, El Shaarawy

Udinese:

Recent form: LWLLDD

Possible starting lineup: Karnezis, Danilo, Domizzi, Heurtaux, Piris, Pinzi, Agyemang-Badu, Guilherme, Allan, Di Natale, Thereau

Sports Mole says: 1-1
