Udinese vs. AC Milan: Match Prediction
Costa Runjaic's team is prepared to challenge any opponent at home, boasting a solid record. In their last seven home Serie A matches, Udinese has lost only twice, with three wins and two draws, including a goalless draw against Atalanta. During this stretch, the club has not lost by more than one goal. Earlier in the current season, they also managed to defeat Lazio (2-1) and put up a strong fight against Inter (2-3).
AC Milan struggles with away matches. Even when they achieve maximum results, victories are often hard-fought. In their last 19 away Serie A games, AC Milan has won only seven times (4 draws, 8 losses). Only one of these victories was by a comfortable margin – against Empoli, where they secured a win by more than one goal (2-0).
I believe the hosts can challenge their opponents, so my prediction: Udinese with a handicap (+1)
