Udinese vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-19 18:45.
[p]Two of Serie A’s early season high-flyers collide on matchday four when Udinese, who’ve already beaten Inter Milan this season, take on AC Milan.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Building on their 2-1 win over Inter before the international break, Udinese edged Pisa 1-0 on Sunday to go unbeaten in their first three Serie A games in back-to-back seasons for the first time ever. Kosta Runjaić’s side were also victorious in the Coppa Italia before the league started, so have considerable momentum behind them as they look to secure a first top-half finish since back in 2012/13. Udinese will need to improve on their own turf to achieve that feat, as they’ve failed to win any of their last six home league games (D2, L4).[/p]
[p]AC Milan have recovered well from defeat on the opening weekend against Cremonese, stringing together successive clean-sheet victories, most recently against Bologna at the weekend (1-0). Not since February 2023 have the Rossoneri managed three consecutive shutouts in Serie A, and if they’re to do so here they’ll have to do it without Massimiliano Allegri on the touchline after he was sent off against Bologna. Milan should still be confident having won four of their last five away league games (L1), and another victory would mark just the third time in 21 seasons that they’ve won their first two Serie A road games.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Milan have won each of the last three league meetings with Udinese, and have only once previously won more Serie A H2Hs in a row against them. The Rossoneri have won their last two trips to Udinese, but last managed three successive wins here between 2006 and 2008.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Iker Bravo has scored in back-to-back games for club and country, and his three career Serie A goals have all been Udinese’s last of the match. Christian Pulisic scored Milan’s last away goal and four of his last six league strikes have come on the road.[/p]
[p]Udinese could still be without Sandi Lovrić and Vakoun Bayo, while Milan’s Mike Maignan and Strahinja Pavlović both went off injured against Bologna, and are set to join Rafael Leão on the sidelines.[/p]
