Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction 20.09.2025
Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday’s Serie A clash at the Bluenergy Stadium. Milan are eyeing a third straight league win, while Udinese hope to keep their unbeaten start intact. For more expert insights, check out Serie A Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Udinese are unbeaten in their first three Serie A games of the season.
- AC Milan have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches.
- The Rossoneri have won their last two away trips to Udine, scoring seven goals combined.
- Udinese’s home form is shaky, with no league win at the Bluenergy Stadium since March.
AC Milan arrive with momentum after a narrow but vital 1-0 win over Bologna. Allegri’s side have quietly built defensive solidity, recording three clean sheets in their last four across all competitions. Luka Modric, still dictating games at 40, has been the heartbeat in midfield alongside Adrien Rabiot, while new faces like Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic are pushing for more attacking consistency. The only concern? Santiago Gimenez hasn’t found the net yet, rattling the woodwork three times already. Can he finally break through?
Even so, Milan’s away record against Udinese inspires confidence. The Rossoneri scored four in Udine last season and have seven goals from their last two visits here. Allegri knows a strong start could be crucial in their chase for a top-four spot, especially with no European football distractions. Still, fitness concerns loom: Mike Maignan is doubtful after picking up a knock, and Rafael Leao remains sidelined. That’s a bold gamble on squad depth if both miss out.
Udinese, meanwhile, are buzzing after a strong start under Kosta Runjaic. They’ve already toppled Inter and Pisa, grinding out results with energy and sharp counterattacks. Iker Bravo’s winner against Pisa underlined their knack for striking early, while Keinan Davis is beginning to look like a proper target man. The Friulani are dreaming of back-to-back Milanese scalps and why not? The momentum is there, and belief is growing in Friuli.
But there’s a catch: Udinese haven’t won a home Serie A game since March. That kind of streak gnaws away at confidence, no matter how good the away results look. Missing goalkeeper Maduka Okoye doesn’t help either, and Sandi Lovric’s injury removes creativity in midfield. Runjaic’s men will fight, but Milan’s organisation and experience might just tilt the balance. Even so, with Udinese’s resilience and Milan’s misfiring attack, a draw feels far from impossible.
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri described the upcoming clash with Udinese as “the first turning point of the season,” stressing the need for consistency after back-to-back wins. He acknowledged Milan’s low conversion rate and warned about Udinese’s physical style and set-piece strength. With Rafael Leao still sidelined but Mike Maignan fit again, Allegri underlined responsibility and focus as key to maintaining momentum. Source: Gazzetta dello Sport.
Backing Udinese on the double chance (1X) makes sense given the context. The Friulani are unbeaten in their first three Serie A matches, including a gritty 2-1 win over Inter that highlighted both their belief and tactical discipline. Kosta Runjaic’s men haven’t been perfect at home, in fact, they’re winless at the Bluenergy Stadium since March, but Milan’s absentees could tip the balance. Mike Maignan is doubtful, Rafael Leao is sidelined, and Santiago Gimenez still hasn’t scored this season. That leaves Allegri relying heavily on veterans like Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot to carry the midfield load. Udinese’s attack, led by Keinan Davis and Iker Bravo, has shown the ability to trouble even elite defences. Milan may still edge it on quality, but with their stuttering attack and Udinese’s growing confidence, a home win or a draw feels like the safer call for punters.
