Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction & Match Preview
AC Milan, riding high on a three-game winning streak, will aim to extend their good run when they take on Udinese in Matchday 21 of Serie A. However, the Zebrette’s recent defensive woes could leave them vulnerable against the Rossoneri’s potent attack.
Udinese, known for their unpredictable draws (12 this season already!), played a spirited attacking game against Fiorentina last weekend but conceded a late equalizer to finish 2-2. The positive is their offensive display, but coach Cioffi has his work cut out for him with a leaky defense. Udinese have conceded two or more goals in seven of their last nine league matches, including a 1-2 home defeat to Lazio in their previous outing.
Facing AC Milan, boasting the second-best attacking record in Serie A, doesn’t bode well for Udinese’s fragile backline. Milan, fresh off a 3-1 victory over Roma, are on a four-win-one-draw run and hungry for more. They haven’t forgotten their 1-0 defeat to Udinese in November, the Zebrette’s only away win this season.
Historically, head-to-head encounters between these teams have often been goal-fests. Seven of the last eight clashes saw both teams find the net, and Udinese have lost just one of their last six meetings with Milan. However, Milan’s current form and Udinese’s defensive struggles tip the scales in the Rossoneri’s favor.
Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction:
AC Milan to win: Back the in-form Milan to overcome Udinese’s defensive frailties at 1.85 odds.
Both Teams to Score: While Milan are favorites, Udinese’s attacking potential shouldn’t be underestimated. This option offers 1.75 odds.
