The two teams have clashed 76 times in history, with Milan having a record of 33 wins, 28 draws, and 15 losses, scoring 134 goals while conceding 78. In the 71 Serie A encounters, Milan has achieved 32 wins, 28 draws, and 11 losses, scoring 130 goals while conceding 69. In 35 away matches against Udinese, Milan has won 12, drawn 16, and lost 7, scoring 43 goals while conceding 28, thus holding an advantage. This match is the last league game of the season, and whether Milan can secure a victory away to conclude the league perfectly depends on the performance of the Rossoneri warriors this weekend. Of course, Udinese, who are striving for a Champions League spot, will not be easy to deal with, and Milan must be cautious to avoid conceding goals.
Key Point Three: Pirlo's final game representing Milan
Key Point One: Can Milan win away and finish the season perfectly?
At 2:45 AM Beijing Time on May 23, Serie A will see the start of its 38th round, which is also the final round of the season. The reigning champions AC Milan will travel to face Udinese in this round.
Key Point Two: Can Udinese secure a Champions League spot?
Currently, Udinese rank fourth with 65 points, leading Lazio, who are fifth, by 2 points. The outcome of this round will determine which team will ultimately secure the fourth place ranking and gain qualification for the Champions League play-offs. Facing a strong Milan side, Udinese's chances of winning are slim; their rivals Lazio are up against Chievo, a team of average strength, and should find it easier to secure a victory. Therefore, Udinese need to strive to maintain a draw in this match; if they do so, even if Lazio win, with both teams having equal points (each having won one match against each other earlier in the season), Udinese would still have a slight edge due to their goal difference and could qualify for the Champions League play-offs. However, if Udinese are defeated by Milan and Lazio also win, Udinese will have to concede the fourth position.
