Udinese Calcio vs Milan 25 October 2026 Prediction

Serie A remains Milan’s priority. The Rossoneri will look to extend their unbeaten league run against Udinese, which has not earned a point since the summer. Milan has won its last three visits to Udinese.

Udinese Has Lost Five Straight

Udinese began the season hoping to improve and at least retain a top-10 place. By Matchday 8, it is fighting near the bottom of the table. The team has lost five straight league games. Its latest defeat, 3-0 at home to Lecce, was particularly concerning: Lecce missed several one-on-one chances, while Kosta Runjaic’s side produced just 0.57 expected goals, its lowest total of the league season.

Udinese has been in a pre-match training camp since Thursday evening. That may not fix the defensive problems seen in both games since the international break. Torino, which beat Udinese 2-1, generated 2.64 xG and could have scored more. Defender David Alaba is also out with a calf injury and is not expected back before November 22.

Milan Is Unbeaten in Serie A

Milan lost 3-0 at Bournemouth in the Europa League during the week, but the circumstances matter. Manager Ruben Amorim fielded a rotated lineup, and goalkeeper Mike Maignan was sent off in the 28th minute. Milan has yet to lose in seven Serie A games, a stretch that includes draws with Lazio and Juventus and a 3-2 win over Atalanta. Against Atalanta last weekend, Milan was in control until the final 30 minutes.

Amorim’s team is still developing, but it has shown good ball control, an effective high press and an ability to create overloads out wide. Milan will be without right wingback Samuel Chukwueze for the trip to Udine. Center forward Goncalo Ramos has returned to full training and could be included in the squad.

Udinese vs Milan Predicted Lineup

Udinese (3-4-2-1): Okoye – Abankwah, Palma, Solet – Vojvoda, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Kamara – Chakvetadze, Ekkelenkamp – Davis

Unavailable: Gueye, Bayo, Alaba (all injured)

Manager: Kosta Runjaic

Milan (4-3-2-1): Maignan – Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi – Musah, Modric, Rabiot – Pulisic, Moreira – Camarda

Unavailable: Saelemaekers, Gabbia, P. Terracciano, Chukwueze (all injured)

Manager: Ruben Amorim

Udinese vs Milan Prediction: Milan Handicap -1.5

Main pick: Milan has a favorable matchup after its midweek defeat. Lecce created plenty of chances in last round’s 3-0 win at Udinese and could have scored more. Milan should pose an even greater attacking threat. The pick is Milan -1.5 at 2.77.

Goals pick: Milan has conceded five goals across its last two games, so a shutout is less certain. Udinese has scored in seven of its nine competitive matches this season. Both teams to score at 1.88 is a higher-risk option.
