After locking horns with one zebra, we try our luck with another one. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/innocent.gif) This time the Zebrette (little zebras) in question is Udinese, a team that has seemingly fallen out of form and favor languishing at 11th currently. We're at third, but with that dreaded club (Napoli) hot on our heels tied with 30 points. So unless we win this one, we risk falling back to 6th, just like that, with Fiorentina shown the way by Gila (who's the top scorer in the league with 12, mind you, even after missing two matches). I currently stand at 1-1-1 at thread openings (one win, one draw, and the Juve loss, so hopefully Milan comes good in this one). The players worth keeping an eye on in the opponent team are Di Natale, Quagliarella, Luković, Zapata, and their keeper Handanovič: (IMG: http://i39.tinypic.com/29uvm6h.jpg) Anyhoo, as usual, time for some stats between the two clubs, current rankings, head to head, top scorers, etc. (IMG: http://i41.tinypic.com/358s8s5.jpg) (IMG: http://i44.tinypic.com/24npfmq.jpg) (IMG: http://i39.tinypic.com/293yhzl.jpg) (IMG: http://i42.tinypic.com/23wapl.jpg) Date: Sunday, 21 December, 2008 Time: 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm GMT Place: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) Forza Milan!

I'd add Inler and Pepe as guys to watch out for. The Udinese attack is dangerous when on form - and they seem to be getting back to it. Their defense can be porous, however.
Ambrosini and Zambrotta are suspended for this game.
Here's Mediaset's projected lineup: Abbiati; Antonini, Maldini, Kaladze, Jankulovski; Flamini, Emerson, Seedorf; Kakà, Ronaldinho; Pato.

Flamini Seedorf and Pirlo worked in the gym again today. We're not going to have a midfield for this game. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

125 views and 9 replies in two days?! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sleepysmiley03.gif) Come on guys, you can do better than this. It's almost feels like if I opened a Milan vs Udinese thread in an inter forum? The match is in a couple of days, so hurry up with your news, views, and reviews. Any other time this would have more than 50 replies by now. And oh, let's keep the pessimism on hold, please. And save it for after the match. We've already fallen off the perch in these last few weeks, what's the worse that could happen? If we win, we win. If we lose/draw it's not like it's happened the first time this season. Over to you, guys.

Observation: both Di Natale and Quagliarella were rested for Udinese's UEFA Cup game; to me, that indicates that we'll see them.
