Udinese vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-04-10 18:45.
[p]After back-to-back away trips, Udinese return home with the aim of halting their current three-game losing streak, which has put their hopes of a top-half Serie A finish in danger. In fact, Kosta Runjaić’s men are now winless in four league matches (D1, L3), and with only two goals scored in that run, it’s easy to see where the problem lies. [/p]
[p]A 1-0 defeat against Hellas Verona in Udinese’s last outing at Stadio Friuli ended their three-game winning sequence at home, but a return to form isn’t guaranteed with the arrival of AC Milan, as the Little Zebras have won just once there against currently better-placed teams this season (W1, D1, L4). Don’t expect an abundance of early excitement here though, as league matches involving Udinese on their own patch have only featured three goals in the opening 15 minutes this term – a joint-Serie A low in that time. [/p]
[p]Despite impressively recovering from a two-goal deficit inside the opening 10 minutes to salvage a point against Fiorentina (2-2), Milan’s hopes of European qualification suffered another blow. The visitors here are now winless in three competitive games (D2, L1) after a contest which showcased their recent sluggish starts, as they now have conceded the opener in five of their last six encounters.[/p]
[p]A 2-1 defeat at Napoli in their last away trip saw Milan lose the sixth of their last eight outings on the road (W2) – having converted only one of their three penalties in the last four such games. In the process, the Rossoneri have also conceded at least twice in each of their last four Serie A matches on their travels for the first time since December 2023 – and have also let in 2+ goals on their last two visits to Udinese.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Six of Lorenzo Lucca’s ten league goals for Udinese this season have been game openers, including his last three in a row. Luka Jović’s first two strikes for Milan this term came in their last two Serie A matches, with his last seven Italian top-flight goals all arriving after the break – a run which includes a late equaliser in the Rossoneri’s corresponding 3-2 win last season. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Udinese have kept a first-half clean sheet in eight consecutive home games (HT: W5, D3).[/p]
