Additional person in the midfield allow men Maurizio Sarri to control the tempo of the game, such as Federico Bernardeschi set to play in a free role behind the striker.

Luca Gotti has more options to choose from than its counterpart, because the only Brazilian central defender Samir Santos came out with an injury and has not returned to training. In addition he has a fit squad to choose from for the last 16 cup tie.

Udinese can choose to play with a back line of three people in a 3-5-2 formation. custodian Argentina, Juan Musso might be the guy in goal against Juventus, while the backline of three people will be led by William Troost Ekong along with partnering with Bram Nuytinck and Rodrigo Becão. Ken Sema and Jens Larsen tend to play the role of fullbacks providing much-needed width.

In the middle of the park, the Italian midfielder Rolando Mandragora will give creativity as Seko Fofana will add to the stability of the entire team. Rodrigo De Paul has been in great scoring form and will look to continue that against Juve.

In the attack, Kevin Lasagna will partner Stefano Okaka who scored against Sassuolo in their 3-0 victory in Serie A. Okaka will look to lead the line for Udinese and will be hoping to find a gap in the defense of the host.

Juventus vs Udinese Prediction

Juventus were well on course to retain their Serie A title and is in the two-game winning streak as we speak. Their last clash in the street saw them record AS Roma with a 2-1 scorecard. While at home, the hosts made light of Cagliari with four unanswered goals to their name.

It is also worthy to mention that the home team have conceded defeat just once in their last six matches in all competitions.

Meanwhile, Udinese is in the groove selfish and has tasted nothing but success in their last three games. most of their latest fixtures in Serie A saw them thrash Sassuolo at home by a 3-0 scoreline.

Be that as it may, the guests have been vulnerable in their events this term. The fact that they are one of three sides by far the worst in the cluster surely stand as a testament to that.

Sadly, they come away with a victory only once in their last four outings on the run, too. Piling on even more suffering, Juventus have dropped points only once at home in the top flight this season.

The host also has secured the bragging rights by not less than the margin of two goals or more in each of their last three meetings with this enemy here. Thus, the possibility is certainly stacked against Udinese in this one.

In addition, the goal has not been hard to come by when Juventus feature in the field. Impressively, they have scored two goals or more in seven of their previous ten matches here in all competitions.

By considering three of the last four meetings h2h in this stadium have also seen more than 2.5 goals in the final scorecards, relying on a high scoring affair, by all means, this week.

AC Milan vs SPAL Prediction and Match Preview

AC Milan vs SPAL

Italy – Coppa Italia

Date: Thursday, 15 January 2020

Kick-off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET

Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).

TEAM NEWS

Given that it went so well last time out, Pioli is expected to keep the new lineup for tomorrow's game. However, as reported by MilanNews.it, he will make some changes in the lineup, with it being a cup match and all. In goal, Antonio Donnarumma will replace his brother, who was wounded.

Kjaer is set to make its debut in the middle of the defense as Musacchio has been left out of the squad. He will be partnered by captain Romagnoli, who continues to be the reference point for the team. Conti also will play from the first minute, as Calabria has a minor injury.

As Calhanoglu also struggling with a minor problem, Bonaventura will start on the left wing. In addition, though, the midfield will remain the same with Castillejo once again get the nod ahead of Suso. The latter has been widely attributed to the departure of this month, which now gather even more steam.

Although he is very important for Milan last time out, Ibrahimovic will be on the bench. After all, he is 38-years-old, and if there is an opportunity to rest him Pioli must accept. No offense to SPAL, but he might be able to start Piatek and Leao as attacking duo instead.

AC Milan:

For those responsible for AC Milan, things will be broken at this point. After a miserable first-round series, people act from the management level are now required to strengthen its cadre in such a way that one can still think about moving to international business in the next five months.

No matter what new additions they are presented; Transfer king has managed to "Rossoneri" with Zlatan Ibrahimovic. It became clear over the weekend that the Swedish superstar's commitment not only leads former world club back to the track in terms of media, but also in terms of sports, when "IbraKadabra" marked the decisive goal 2: 0 win at Cagliari.

The 38-year-old player was partly responsible for the fact that Lombard taking their first competitive win in the new year and leaves the field for the first time since Dec. 8 in Serie A, let alone their own scoring. In three previous games against Sassuolo (0: 0), Atalanta Bergamo (0: 5) and at home against Sampdoria (0: 0) side "Diavolo" is zero.

In general, the attack is still a huge construction site for the former European champions. Pioli's coaching team only scored 18 goals. Only three Serie A clubs were allowed to entertain even less. At least within the limits of defensive results with 24 goals.

Since Wednesday night in the Coppa Italia we again assume that the supposed favorite would have a difficult time against a deep and tirelessly defended the guest team, we hold AC Milan vs SPAL Ferrara chance for a maximum of two hits in the game for very favorable. Especially against the background that the "Rossoneri" had to take the cup seriously.

Coppa Italia may be the quickest way back to the international stage. It is by no means certain that the team Pioli, who currently ranks only tenth, will make the league among the top six. Thus, the city mode will not show any nudity and confidence will want to make it to the quarter-finals.

However, the coach will probably be around a little. For example, it is questionable whether Ibrahimovic can play a second game in five days from the start. There is still a question mark behind Ricardo Rodriguez and Lucas Biglia and mission behind the former Frankfurt Rebic, who have the desired strengthening of Milan anyway.

SPAL :

Last year, SPAL Ferrara are confident in maintaining the 13th position in the Beletage Italy. In the current season, precisely this effort was much more difficult. After exactly half of all matches to be completed, the "Spallini" holding red lanterns.

So far, "Biancazzurri" record only twelve points. Three victory over three draws and 13 defeats. However, the gap to just three points savings banks. Because degradation is a major priority in Serie A, it remains to be seen how serious the Semplici Coach will take the Coppa Italia.

Although the focus' on the operation of the league, SPAL has passed two hurdles in the cup this time. Despite a 3-1 win over Feralpi still under the category of "expected wins", a 5-1 home win against a direct rival Lecce is very surprising.

However, it would be presumptuous to conclude from this that grows white and blue on the outside of them on Wednesday night. SPAL has won only one of the last twelve games in the league and also lost the first two matches in the new calendar year. Again, malicious attacks proved to be the biggest weakness. Only twelve goals scored (the lowest value!) Underline weakness in the advanced game.

What to give the underdogs hope is the fact that "Spallini" usually can stand up well to the higher quality teams. Among other things, you lose at Inter Milan only after a fight with a 1: 2 or even escape from Naples draw (1: 1). League match against AC Milan only narrowly lost with 0: 1.

In general, it can be stated that the match with the team's participation Semplici usually end up with just a few purposes. In twelve of the 19 cases, the maximum bet on two hits will succeed. Reca d'Alessandro and prices injured.

AC Milan vs SPAL Prediction

AC Milan take off a 2-0 win over Cagliari last weekend to extend their unbeaten streak to two games on the trot. Host has been on the losing end in one of the previous seven fixtures in Serie A and has taken three wins in the process too.

Meanwhile, SPAL ran riot over Lecce in the last round to book their clash with the home team. However, the visiting contingent have been faring very badly since and have come out on top just once in their last five clashes.

Piling on even more suffering, SPAL is the worst back side in the top flight. It is also worth mentioning that the guest has struggled to get anything going for them on the road this term, and has enjoyed success just once in their past ten events. In sharp contrast, AC Milan are unbeaten in their last three games here.

Furthermore, the hosts have made a mistake in securing bragging rights in each of their previous three meetings with the enemy at home. Given the clear differences in the shape and stature of the two teams involved, AC Milan relied on past guests wind up in this one.

In addition, the home team is not interested in racking up the goal here as of late, and has thwarted their opponents from doing the same thing too. Four of the last five games in this stadium has fewer features than 2.5 goals in the charts.

With only two goals scored SPAL very little of their past ten event, it is certainly well within reason to expect AC Milan to wrap something with no more than one goal or two at most.
