It looks to us like Udinese will have a tough assignment to find the net against a AC Milan outfit who appear set to dominate this game and keep it tight in defence. We’re therefore predicting a commanding 2-0 victory for AC Milan at the end of the 90 minutes.
Sandro Tonali will miss out of the season's opener on Saturday due to a minor injury, while Olivier Giroud will lead up front. Tolgay Arslan will be unavailable for selection this weekend due to an ankle injury.
AC Milan shocked everyone by winning Serie A last season with a young core of players and excellent defensive performances in the latter half of the campaign. There is optimism among the fans that the Rossoneri can defend their title despite the likely competition from Inter, Juventus and Roma, especially after the signing of an exciting young player like Charles De Ketelaere. Udinese appointed Andrea Sottil and are undergoing structural changes in terms of tactics and squad. Despite being heavily linked to Napoli this summer, Gerard Deulofeu is set to stay and will be vital for the Friulani's hopes to avoid relegation. The hosts are favourites to win this match and will likely keep a clean sheet. 2:0
