AC Milan are on a fine run of form, with three straight wins in Serie A. A 1-0 victory over Sassuolo was followed by a 3-0 victory away to Empoli.

A 3-1 win against Roma not only saw the Rossoneri continue a great run of form, but it saw the end of Jose Mourinho’s time with the Giallorossi.

On Saturday, AC Milan will make the trek to Udine to face off with 16th-place Udinese. While Milan have won their recent matches, Udinese have struggled to get positive results.

The Zebrette won just one of their last six matches, as they took six points during that time. Just one point separates Udinese from the bottom three in the Serie A standings.

Surprisingly, Milan won just one of their last six matches in all competitions versus Udinese. Recent trends back Udinese to do well against AC Milan. However, their recent form would say otherwise.

Udinese won their last two games in Serie A against AC Milan, including the teams’ reverse fixture earlier this season. The Zebrette went to San Siro in November and won 1-0 thanks to a Roberto Pereyra second-half penalty.

AC Milan have played well on the road this season, collecting a record of 5W-3D-2L and a goal difference of +4. Udinese, on the other hand, have struggled at home this term.

The Zebrette have a home record of 1W-6D-3L. They have a goal difference of -3 playing at the Stadio Friuli.

Olivier Giroud leads AC Milan in goal scoring statistics this season, with 10 Serie A goals. Summer transfer signing Christian Pulisic has added six goals to the Milan cause.

Coach Stefano Pioli will be without the services of Samuel Chukwueze and Ismael Bennacer due to their participation at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Udinese scored just 21 goals in 20 Serie A matches this season. Lorenzo Lucca leads the team in goal scoring stats.

Goals have been hard to find for the Zebrette, however. Defensively, Udinese have struggled, conceding 32 times.

Coach Gabriele Cioffi will be without defender Enzo Ebosse and forward Gerard Deulofeu. Both are rehabbing ACL injuries.

Milan are playing well, and the team’s form should continue on Saturday. Forebet’s prediction Algorithm predicts the Rossoneri should win 3-1 away from home.

Based on Udinese’s awful home form, AC Milan should roll to a victory in Udine. Giroud is good value to tally an 11th goal of the campaign.
