Caution is key for Udinese
Despite being six points above the relegation zone, Udinese’s recent form is very worrying for their fans. The Bianconeri are winless in their last four games and have recorded just one win in 13 overall. Moreover, Udinese have just one clean sheet in 13 games and the Bianconeri looked extremely vulnerable in defence in their last two games in which they conceded seven times.
Udinese’s penultimate match was a thriller when they drew with Lazio 4-4, where Le Zebrette were a goal down and a man down late on but still managed to score an equalizer in the 99th minute. However, that wasn’t enough to inspire Luca Gotti’s men and they lost their next match 3-1 to Empoli. In effect, Gotti must be cautious as they are clearly not in the safe zone.
AC Milan to cling on the top
It was a very disappointing midweek for AC Milan as they missed out on all European competitions after losing to Liverpool. On the other side though, the Rossoneri clinched the top of the Serie A from Napoli after winning their last two matches while the Neapolitans lost four points in their last two outings. While it took a lot of effort from the Milanese outfit to reach to the top, they need to recover quickly from their European upset to maintain their domestic momentum.
Consequently, coach Stefano Pioli and his team will have their sole focus on the success in the league. On the positive side, the Rossoneri won their last two matches in Serie A to nil. That came after two defeats in which Milan’s defence underperformed badly, conceding seven goals. Hence, that improved defensive form is needed in this match as Milan travel to Udine where they lost last season’s fixture 2-1.
Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction
This is a match where both teams want to win for different reasons. However, Milan’s urgency for the three points is much higher as the Rossoneri will do their best not to repeat last season’s scenario.
The odds for a Milan win is quite high at 1.89 which is very generous considering it has a 75% probability. However, all of the last 12 head-to-heads were very close games and were decided by one goal difference and that justifies the bookies’ high values.
As for our prediction, we think Milan will do their best to bounce back from the European disappointment. That will result in the visitors attacking relentlessly which in turn may create a high number of scoring chances.
In conclusion, we will back a Milan win taking advantage of the high-value odds by the bookies. And for our second prediction, a double chance outcome combined with total goals will be our pick.
