Udinese vs AC Milan Prediction & Picks - Serie A

Prediction published on 4/9/25, 1:45 PM  by Erik Gibbs in Serie A Picks

AC Milan head into Friday night’s clash with Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium in dire need of a turnaround. The Rossoneri’s form in Serie A has taken a hit in recent weeks, with away performances being particularly disappointing. Losing four of their last six games on the road in the league, Milan have slipped behind in the race for European qualification and are now trailing Fiorentina by four points in the battle for a top-eight finish.

Under the leadership of Sergio Conceicao, who took over in January, Milan initially showed promise by clinching the Supercoppa Italiana in dramatic fashion. However, their domestic campaign has since faltered, and their Champions League journey ended at the hands of Feyenoord. The pressure is mounting on Conceicao, who needs a strong finish to the season to keep Milan’s European hopes alive.

Their opponents, Udinese, have shown flashes of quality this season and are sitting just outside the top half of the table, level on points with Torino but behind on goal difference. With 40 points from 31 games, they’ve been a solid outfit at home, winning three of their last six league matches in front of their fans. However, recent form is a concern, with the Friulians coming off three straight Serie A losses, including a narrow 1-0 defeat at Genoa last weekend.
