AC Milan
- AC Milan are third in Serie A with 63 points from 31 games and are having another strong season under Massimiliano Allegri, who has instilled a pragmatic, phase-based style of play since his appointment in July 2025.
- Milan’s home defence has been particularly strong, conceding an average of 0.87 goals in Serie A this term with just 13 conceded at home.
- AC Milan have won three and lost two of their last five Serie A games.
Udinese Calcio
- Udinese are having a mid-table season of Serie A as they sit 11th with 40 points from 31 games.
- Kosta Runjaic’s men have been very solid of late, winning two, drawing two and losing only one of their last five Serie A outings, and they should put up a good fight against Milan.
- Since Runjaic took over in June 2024, Udinese have focused on playing a very compact midblock and trying to spring a fast counter-attack.
- They look very dangerous in transition, with Nicolo Zaniolo providing some creativity in the attacking third and a good supply of assists - three in the last five games.
- The visitors average 1.27 goals per away game in Serie A and have scored 19 goals on their travels.
Head-to-Head
- Milan have won their last two meetings with Udinese, including a 3-0 away win in Serie A six months ago.
- The Zebrette are unbeaten in their last two away games, with one win and a draw, and they can keep this close.
Betting Insights
- So there should be plenty of chances at both ends and goals look likely, so over 2.5 goals at 1.8 looks a safe bet.
- Both teams to score at 2.0 looks a solid bet, too, as Udinese can find the back of the net.
Key Players
- Rafael Leao will be Milan’s biggest goal threat with nine in 23 Serie A appearances this term, but Strahinja Pavlovic has chipped in with two of Milan's last six goals and can make his mark from set-piece or open play.
- Keinan Davis is Udinese’s main man, with ten goals in 26 Serie A outings, and has three in his last five.
Prediction
Milan should win because of their superior quality and home advantage, but Udinese’s ability to counter-attack will keep this game interesting and open.
