AC Milan
Contents
- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Saturday, 20th January 2024
- Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Bluenergy Stadium &— Stadio Friuli (Udine)
Udinese has been a part of Serie A since 1995. However, their performance this season is not up to par, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. Despite losing only six out of 20 league matches, most of their points are obtained from draws. Therefore, it’s evident that Udinese needs to start securing some victories. Gabriele Cioffi’s team has managed to win only one of their last nine matches. In their most recent match, they battled to a 2-2 draw on the road against Fiorentina. This was yet another match where Udinese performed well enough to earn a point.
This season, Inter Milan and Juventus appear to be outclassing the rest of Serie A, however AC Milan holds a comfortable third position. Stefano Pioli’s squad is performing well, securing four victories in their last five games. They triumphed with a 3-1 win over AS Roma in their previous home game. Although the teams were closely matched according to statistics, AC Milan proved to be far more effective, thus earning all three points. With yet another win under their belt, Pioli’s squad will approach their forthcoming match against Udinese with an abundance of confidence.
Udinese vs AC Milan pick: Over 2.5 goals
Udinese typically participate in games with high scores, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their past eight matches. Similarly, AC Milan has seen over 2.5 goals in ten of their last 11 games. Therefore, betting on over 2.5 goals would be the wisest choice for this match.
