Udinese vs. AC Milan: Serie A Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

With their prospects of qualifying for Europe taking another blow last week, AC Milan can't afford to lose Friday night's Serie A match away to Udinese. For their 100th meeting in the league, the two teams are separated by only two points, with the hosts content with their mid-table position.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Milan and Fiorentina's clash saw the Viola take a two-goal lead within ten minutes, but goals from Jovic and Abraham helped Milan fight back. Under Sergio Conceicao, Milan's poor starts have continued—they've conceded eight early goals and trailed ten times in 2025, more than any Serie A team.

Abraham also netted in the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter, giving Milan a shot at Europe. Still, they sit behind Fiorentina and face tough fixtures against Bologna, Roma, Juventus, and Lazio.

Milan have struggled away, conceding twice in each of their last four road games and losing half of their previous 16 trips to Udine. Although they've beaten Udinese in their last two meetings, their form is shaky.

Udinese, winless in three after a six-game unbeaten run, saw Lucca miss a key chance in a 1-0 loss to Genoa. With top-10 hopes fading, Runjaic's side now looks to bounce back against Milan and overtake Torino in the standings.

On loan from Man City, Lyle Walker has had elbow surgery and could miss the rest of the season. With Emerson Royal still out, Milan may turn to Alex Jimenez or Filippo Terracciano at right back.

Tammy Abraham, now third among English scorers in Serie A with 29 goals, is set to lead Sergio Conceicao's attack ahead of Gimenez and Jovic.

Udinese's injury-hit frontline relies on Lorenzo Lucca, with Simone Pafundi and Iker Bravo as options. Keinan Davis, Alexis Sanchez, and Florian Thauvin remain sidelined, while Isaak Toure, Razvan Sava, and Jordan Zemura are also out.
