AC Milan have enjoyed slightly more success than Udinese
📊 The head-to-head history between Udinese and Milan spans 40 matches in recent years, with the “Rossoneri” holding a slight edge. Milan have claimed 18 wins, while the “Little Zebras” have come out on top 13 times, and 9 encounters have ended in a draw. Last season’s meetings were particularly intriguing, as both sides secured emphatic away victories. Milan cruised to a 3-0 win in Udine, but Udinese responded in the reverse fixture, stunning the San Siro crowd with an identical 3-0 triumph.

Udinese’s crisis deepens
Udinese made a promising start to the new Serie A campaign, collecting four points from their opening two fixtures and notching up a pair of wins in the Coppa Italia. However, fortunes quickly turned: the team suffered five consecutive league defeats and haven’t added to their tally since. As a result, Udinese have slipped to 16th place, staying above the relegation zone solely thanks to a superior goal difference.
In the previous round, the “Little Zebras” left their fans stunned with a heavy 3-0 home defeat against Lecce. It wasn’t just the scoreline that disappointed-Udinese looked flat throughout and offered little resistance. Defensive frailties were especially glaring, as the hosts repeatedly allowed Lecce to create dangerous opportunities. The stats underline the scale of the collapse: Lecce fired off 17 shots, with 11 on target. The visitors posted an impressive 2.57 expected goals (xG), underlining both the quantity and quality of chances conceded. Kosta Runjaić faces urgent questions-unless he finds solutions fast, he could be the next manager shown the door.

AC Milan have struggled for consistency across all competitions
Milan have struggled to find consistency this season. Across all competitions, the Rossoneri have dropped points as often as they've won, a record that falls short of the club’s lofty ambitions. Still, in Serie A, Milan remain among the league’s top four. After seven rounds, they’ve collected 15 points, trailing the leaders by just four.
Last time out in the league, Milan secured a crucial 3-2 home victory over Atalanta. It looked like a comfortable evening for the hosts as they raced to a three-goal lead, but a late lapse in concentration allowed Atalanta to claw back and nearly snatch an unlikely draw. Once again, Milan’s defensive frailties were exposed, raising questions about their back line’s reliability.
Confidence is hardly high heading into the next fixture. In midweek, Milan suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League. The match went off the rails early: by the eighth minute, Milan conceded a penalty after a defensive blunder in their own box, and things worsened when their goalkeeper was sent off in the 27th minute. Bournemouth doubled their lead from the spot just five minutes later. Statistically, the English side dominated, and Milan could do little but hope to avoid a rout-though in the end, they couldn’t prevent it.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Milan’s matches this season rarely go without goals, especially when the Rossoneri are on the road. With a potent attack, they consistently find ways to score, but their defensive frailties remain a concern. In fact, Milan have both scored and conceded in each of their last five Serie A away games. Given these trends, our pick is both teams to score (yes) at odds of 1.82*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Despite Milan often dictating play, they don’t rack up corners in bulk: the Rossoneri have won fewer than six corners in each of their last 16 Serie A fixtures. This season, they average just 3.0 corners per match-the lowest tally in the league. With Udinese unlikely to allow much at home, don’t expect a sudden surge. Back Milan under 5.5 corners at odds of 1.43*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
If you’re eyeing card markets, consider under 3.5 total yellow cards at odds of 1.88*. Udinese’s matches rarely turn into bruising affairs: this line has held in nine of their last ten games. Notably, just two bookings were shown in their most recent head-to-head with Milan. With little reason to expect a spike in fouls, this looks like a well-founded prediction.
🚀 Player Stats Bet
Despite Milan’s star-studded attack, it’s Adrien Rabiot who surprisingly leads the club’s scoring chart in Serie A this campaign. The French midfielder has netted four times in seven appearances, regularly making late runs into the box and boasting a dangerous shot. We’re backing Adrien Rabiot to score at odds of 4.70*.
😱 High-Risk Bet
Five straight defeats highlight Udinese’s current struggles. Most losses can’t simply be chalked up to bad luck-the team consistently comes up short and is error-prone at the back. If Udinese look shaky at home even against Lecce, it’s daunting to imagine what a more talented Milan side could do. Those willing to take a risk might opt for Milan -2 handicap at odds of 4.50*.
🎯 Safe Bet
Udinese have failed to win at home in eight of their last nine Serie A matches. Despite their own inconsistencies, Milan rarely leave empty-handed: the Rossoneri are unbeaten in seven straight league games. For those seeking a safer option, back Milan double chance (win or draw) at odds of 1.18*.
👀 If the Game Doesn’t Go as Planned
Udinese are mired in a long slump, but every losing streak ends eventually. It wouldn’t be a shock if the Little Zebras snapped their skid against Milan-especially since the Rossoneri had a grueling away fixture against Bournemouth midweek, where they suffered a heavy defeat and expended plenty of energy. An alternative play here is Udinese double chance (win or draw) at odds of 2.10*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across bookmakers.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Bookmakers have made Milan the clear favourites for this clash, and it’s hard to argue with that assessment. Frankly, we don’t see how Udinese can put up much of a fight against one of Italy’s football powerhouses, even with home advantage. That losing streak is clearly weighing on the squad’s morale. Milan, meanwhile, remain firmly in the hunt for the top spots in Serie A, despite a painful defeat to Bournemouth. What’s more, their Europa League setback should only add extra motivation for the Rossoneri to bounce back in front of their fans. Our main pick is a Milan win. Predicted scoreline: 1-3.
