Serie A 2025-2026: Milan v Udinese, the likely lineups
The thirty-second day of Serie A continues at 6 p.m. with the San Siro match between AC Milan and Udinese. The Rossoneri come to the appointment still marked by the defeat of the “Maradona” against Napoli, a knockout that has in fact sanctioned the definitive exit from the Scudetto fight, with Inter at +9 on the cousins.
As reiterated in the post-match of the challenge against the partenopei, Massimiliano Allegri confirmed that the real goal of the season remains the qualification to the next Champions League. A goal that is anything but a foregone conclusion: Como and Juventus, coming off excellent form, are now hot on the heels of the Diavolo. Today’s match against Udinese, by now devoid of any particular ambitions in the standings, therefore becomes crucial: the Rossoneri need a victory to turn the tide, secure their European placement and turn the page once and for all after the latest disappointments.
Kosta Runjaic’s team now has nothing more to ask from this championship in terms of the standings. However, the Friulians are aiming to end a very good season on a high note, taking advantage of these last showcases to enhance their brightest talents for the upcoming summer market. For the Bianconeri, the San Siro challenge remains a prestigious test to confirm the group’s growth and showcase the jewels of the squad.
The latest news from the Rossoneri side give almost for certain a change of module: from 3-5-2 to 4-3-3 with Maignan between the posts, Athekame and Bartesaghi full-backs, midfield confirmed with Modric, Ricci and Rabiot, trident formed by Saelemaekers, ahead of Nkunku, Pulisic and Füllkrug as the only point.
Usual formation for Kosta Runjaic, who reunites with his bomber Davis after disqualification. Okoye in goal, Kabasele, Solet and Kristensen the center backs, Ekkelenkamp and Atta the two wing halves. Forward Zaniolo in support of Davis.
Probable formations
MILAN (4-3-3): Maignan; Athekame, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi; Ricci, Modric, Rabiot; Saelemaekers, Fullkrug, Pulisic. All. Allegri.
UDINESE (3-5-2): Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet; Ehizibue, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara; Zaniolo, Davis. All. Runjaic.
