AC Milan's challenging season continues with a home game against Udinese, who have impressed early on this campaign. Historically, they have struggled against Udinese, making this match crucial for them to focus on the result, although their back line may weaken without Theo Hernández.
The victory in the derby against Inter Milan (2:1) lifted AC Milan’s spirits, as they have hit the total over 2.5 in eight out of nine matches this season. A disappointing trip to Bayer 04 Leverkusen (0:1) left the team without a single point in two Champions League rounds, despite having enough opportunities in Germany (1.17 xG with 17 shots). A similar scenario unfolded against Fiorentina (1:2): Paulo Fonseca failed to address the defensive errors, and the players' morale was further dampened by two consecutive missed penalties from Theo Hernández and Tammy Abraham.
Even without the injured Gerard Deulofeu and Alexis Sánchez, Udinese continue to insist on an attacking style of football. Following a heavy defeat to Roma (0:3), they brazenly played an open game against Inter Milan (2:3), during which the reigning champions had to create 2.89 xG with 16 shots to secure victory. In the Serie A scoring race, Udinese have Florian Thauvin (3+1) and Lorenzo Lucca (3+0) standing out in their attack until their leaders recover.
Over the past two years, AC Milan and Udinese have hit the total over 2.5 in three out of four meetings. At the San Siro, both sides will once again struggle to avoid defensive lapses, so we anticipate a high-scoring affair.
