When looking at this matchup between AC Milan and Udinese, one would expect the Rossoneri to be at the top of the Serie A table.
That isn't the case, though. It may only be two games into the new campaign, but Udinese is 2-0 and only a few goals behind Napoli. AC Milan, on the other hand, are toiling at 17th in the table after a disappointing draw and loss to open the campaign.
The defending Italian champions did happen to earn a draw against Barcelona in their opening group match in UEFA Champions League play, but they have yet to bring that type of intensity to Italy this year.
That needs to change immediately, and boss Massimiliano Allegri knows that injuries cannot cause his squad to come undone. The Italian outfit still has a number of talented players and Udinese is a side they should beat. Alexandre Pato and Antonio Cassano will need to step up and make things happen for this team to earn a win.
