(Reuters) - Defending champions AC Milan began their Serie A campaign with a far from convincing victory over Udinese, and their schedule does not get any easier with a trip to Atalanta on Sunday, while injury-hit Juventus travel to Sampdoria a day later.
Milan have previously started seasons well under Stefano Pioli having won their opening two games in their last two campaigns, but Atalanta showed in their victory over Sampdoria that their well-coordinated defence is one to reckon with.
