Match preview

Udinese has started the 2024/25 season strongly, earning seven points from their first three matches. They drew with Verona, won against last season’s runners-up Inter (2-1), and defeated newly promoted Pisa (0-1). In the cup, they also progressed past Carrarese (2-0).

Coach Runjaić’s team adapts well to different styles of play. They can control possession, though this can affect their ability to create chances. They often look to take advantage of open spaces with long balls and sharp counterattacks.

Milan, led by Max Allegri, began their cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Bari. However, their Serie A opener saw them lose to Cremonese, despite having 64% possession and taking 24 shots. Cremonese capitalized on their limited chances to win 2-0.

After that setback, Milan turned things around with a 2-0 victory against Lecce and a 1-0 win over Bologna in their third match. Allegri’s team has shown they can either control the game with possession or defend deeply, limiting their opponents’ scoring opportunities.

Probable lineups

Udinese: Sava, Bertola, Kristensen, Solé, Ehizibue, Atta, Karlström, Pyotrowski, Zemura, Devis, Bravo

Milan: Terracciano, Tomori, Gabbia, De Winter, Modrić, Rabiot, Fofana, Saelemaekers, Estupiñán, Pulisic, Jiménez

Head-to-head and match facts

• Milan has won three of their last five encounters, while Udinese has won two
• Udinese has scored in 11 consecutive matches, winning eight of them
• In seven of Milan’s last eight games, at least two goals have been scored

Prediction

Udinese poses a significant challenge, especially at home. I expect Allegri to take a cautious, counterattacking approach, making it tough for Udinese to score. This match is likely to be entertaining, and I predict over 2 total goals at 1.5.
