Stadium: Friuli Stadium - Dacia Arena.
Competition: Italy Serie A
Kickoff time: 25 August Sunday at 12 a.m. ET
After missing the top-half finish last season, Udinese will aim to make their 12th-place finish. Zebras have already started their season in good form, with Kodapa Italia winning in the fourth round with a 4-1 win over Cultural.
Milan's fifth-place finish last season gave Rossini a clear objective of the top four finishes, which they missed by one point. However, they will remain without European football this term, after being banned for a year for breaking the rules of the Financial Fair.
Udine left defender Sebastien de Mayo, who suffered a hamstring injury. The center back, who joined permanently from Bologna this summer, made 16 appearances last season but will miss the start of a new promotion.
Mattia Caldara is still missing for a long time in Milan after breaking his cruciate ligament in May, and will not return until November. Theo Hernandez will be unavailable until mid-September, following a pre-season ankle injury.
