AC Milan welcome Udinese to the San Siro for an Italian Serie A clash on Saturday, with both sides searching for their first win since returning from the international break.

The hosts have slipped further behind in the title race and will be desperate to respond in front of their home fans. Udinese, meanwhile, are aiming to climb into the top half of the table.

AC Milan News

AC Milan dropped to third in Serie A following Monday’s 1-0 defeat to Napoli, with Matteo Politano scoring the decisive goal. The result marked a second defeat in their last three league outings and leaves the Rossoneri nine points behind leaders and city rivals Inter Milan with only seven matches remaining.

Despite falling behind in the title race, the Rossoneri remain firmly on course for Champions League qualification. They have recorded five wins in their last 10 league matches and scored in seven of those fixtures. Defensive concerns have surfaced in recent weeks, however, with Massimiliano Allegri’s side managing just three clean sheets in their last 10 games.

At home, though, Milan have shown real authority. The Rossoneri have won nine of their 15 Serie A matches at San Siro and head into this clash on a two-game home winning streak. They have also developed a habit of finishing strongly, scoring five of their last seven home goals in the second half. Goals have often been limited in Milan’s home fixtures too, with under 2.5 goals produced in seven of their last 10 matches at San Siro.

Udinese News

Udinese resumed action after the international break with a goalless draw against Como, as Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye recorded his seventh clean sheet of the season. They are now unbeaten in their last two matches as they prepare to face another side chasing a top-four finish.

Kosta Runjaic’s men currently sit 11th in the table, just two points outside the top half, which appears to be their most realistic target for the remainder of the campaign. They have picked up four wins from their last 10 league matches and have shown attacking quality by scoring in seven of those fixtures.

Defensively, however, inconsistency remains an issue despite four clean sheets during that run.

The Little Zebras have won only one of their last four away matches while suffering two defeats in that period. Udinese are vulnerable late in games, with four of the last five goals they have conceded away from home coming in the second half. Their recent away fixtures have also been relatively tight, with under 2.5 goals recorded in two of their last three on the road.

Head to Head

Milan have managed five wins in the last 10 meetings with Udinese, who have claimed two victories in that spell. They have also won the last four matchups, keeping clean sheets in each of the previous three, and losing only one of their last eight home games against Udinese. The Rossoneri recorded a convincing 3-0 win the last time these two sides met.

Verdict

AC Milan v Udinese

With seven of Milan’s last 10 home matches producing fewer than three goals, another tight and controlled contest looks likely. Backing under 2.5 goals looks like a solid choice.

The hosts are sharper in the second half, scoring five of their last seven home goals after the break. The trend could see Milan score more second-half goals at the San Siro. Milan have scored at least twice in four of their last five wins, and could seal a 2-0 win in this tie.
