AC Milan has stuttered this season and is playing below its lofty standards. Hence, Udinese may see another chance to upset a big opponent as they’ve done this season. However, its present form could have other ideas. The first kick occurs at 7:45 PM (UTC) at the Dacia Arena, Udine, Italy.
Key Highlights
Udinese have failed to win its last eleven home games and has only won one of its last five games. This form has seen them drop to tenth position, leaving them with an uphill task against the capital side.
AC Milan go into the tie confident, having secured a six-match unbeaten streak against Udinese. The team has won two of its last five games and is 4th place.
Injury Report
The two teams will be without key players that could make things happen in this fixture. Udinese’s Gerard Deulofeu is out with a knee injury, while his counterpart Ebosse will also miss the tie to a ligament injury. For AC Milan, Olivier Giroud is suspended with a red card, while Junior Mesias has a thigh injury.
Prediction
AC Milan has been inconsistent recently. Hence, betting a win on them is risky. The most probable result on Saturday is below-three goals match. The odds of this outcome (under 2.5) are set at 1.82 (-122 American; 41/50 Fractional).
Reason: AC Milan has played over three goals only once in the past eight games. The team lacks strength in front of the goal and compensates with a solid defence. Udinese is also a low-goals team, playing over two goals just three times in the last eight games. Moreover, the previous five head-to-head fixtures have featured just two games with over 2.5 goals
