Milan Form
Milan complete the top three in the standings with 63 points. For a long time, the club went through the season with just one defeat, suffered back in the opening round, but results have become inconsistent lately. In their last six matches, the Rossoneri have won three and lost three. Another setback came in the previous round – Massimiliano Allegri’s side lost away to direct rivals Napoli (0:1). At home, however, the team have looked far more reliable. In their last two home matches, the Rossoneri beat leaders Inter (1:0) and Torino (3:2). What is more, across the entire season, the Rossoneri have failed to score in just one game at their own ground.
In 6 of Milan’s last 7 league matches, no more than two goals were scored.
In 15 home Serie A games, the Rossoneri have recorded nine wins (four draws, two defeats).
The club have scored in 14 of their previous 15 home matches in this competition.

Udinese Form
Udinese sit in mid-table. After 31 rounds, the team are 11th with 40 points. Recently, the club have been producing decent results: the team have avoided defeat in four of their last five league matches (two wins, two draws). Their only loss in that run was a narrow one – at home, Kosta Runjaic’s side were beaten by Juventus (0:1), while in the previous round the Bianconeri drew with one of the league leaders, Como (0:0). They also boast one of the most dependable defences among the teams in the bottom half of the table – only 42 goals conceded.
At least one team failed to score in 5 of Udinese’s previous 6 Serie A matches.
In 15 away matches in the 2025/26 season, the Bianconeri have recorded six wins (two draws, seven defeats).
