This Saturday, Udinese will host Milan at the Bluenergy Arena in Udine as part of Serie A matchday 4. There are good reasons to expect goals in this match.
Match Preview
Udinese has been performing well recently, winning their last two matches and strengthening their defense. Their victory over Pisa boosted their confidence, but they have not won at home in six games, mainly due to poor finishing.
Despite their attempts to attack, Udinese has difficulty converting chances and rarely scores more than once. At home, they often let opponents play freely, particularly against stronger teams. This inconsistency could be a key factor against Milan.
Milan is starting to find their form after a slow start to the season. Allegri’s team is showing good teamwork, and their narrow win over Bologna demonstrated their experience and discipline. The league standings do not reflect the true potential of the Rossoneri, who have room to improve.
On the road, Milan usually plays aggressively and tends to score, but they still face defensive issues, with occasional lapses and mistakes. This match could highlight their attacking strengths once again.
Probable Lineups
- Udinese: Sava, Kristensen, Solé, Bertola, Ehizibue, Piotrowski, Karlström, Atta, Camara, Bravo, Davis
- Milan: Terracciano, Gabbia, Tomori, Pavlovic, Estupiñán, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Jiménez
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- Milan has won 5 of their last 7 away matches in Serie A.
- Udinese has not won at home in their last 6 league matches.
- Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head encounters.
Prediction
Both teams have different styles but share an open play and defensive weaknesses. Milan often creates opportunities, while Udinese can exploit errors. Importantly, both teams will be missing their starting goalkeepers. Maignan is injured, and Maduka Okoye is suspended. A “both teams to score” bet at odds of 1.92 looks promising.
