Udinese were in relegation trouble for a lot of last season. Only four of their first 23 league games ended in a win for them but a change of manager worked wonders for them. Seven of their last 15 league games were won. A form guide for those last 15 games had them in tenth place. In fact, they only earned three points less than champions Juventus over that period of time. Home form saw them unbeaten in their last eight league games. 

AC Milan won 1-0 at Udinese last season on their way to finishing fifth in Serie A. That should have seen them in the Europa League this season but breaching financial fair play rules has put a stop to that. Milan did their best to break into the top four and won their last four league matches. They finished a place and a point behind their rivals Inter. Away form wasn't always the best last season with seven wins from their 19 games but only five defeats. The ended the season with two wins at SPAL and Fiorentina. Milan spent close to £100m in the summer transfer window with signings including Rafael Leao from Lille and Franck Kessie from Atalanta. They did sell Patrick Crutone to Wolves though. A bet on an away win is the suggested wager.
