Udinese - Milan team news and expert analysis
The club from Friuli finished in the top 10 of the previous domestic championship with 50 points. They have made a poor start this time around, so it is hardly surprising that they eagerly took the opportunity to sign Alaba as a free agent. However, this month they have done nothing but lose — to both Torino and Lecce.
The San Siro giants spent much of the 2025/2026 campaign in second place, but eventually finished only fifth. As a result, under Ruben Amorim, they had to begin their European campaign in the Europa League. The Italians opened with a 0-2 home defeat to Benfica. In October, they bounced back away at Red Bull Salzburg, thrashing their opponents. This week, they faltered again against Bournemouth, going down 0-3. In Serie A, they started with a pair of victories but then frequently settled for draws. They did manage to beat Atalanta in the most recent round, edging them 3-2.
Kosta Runjaic's side score an average of 1.29 goals but concede even more — 2.29. Milan average two goals per match at the opposition's end and one in their own net.

Pulisic and company had won four meetings in a row. But in April, they lost at home — and lost 0-3.
The visitors are the stronger side, although they have not been particularly consistent at the start of the season. We believe they will win here (odds – 1.66).
