Udinese have failed to win 67% of their games this season, while their record against the Neroverdi is poor. After losing the first match in Friuli, Sassuolo have gone unbeaten in their following five away Serie A matches against Udinese (W3, D2).

AC Milan is having one bad season so far. For a club of their status, their current 14th place is way too low, and they are looking for a way to improve their game. Even their change of manager didn’t yield much better results, and the upcoming clash will also be a difficult one. So far they earned 13 points from the previous 12 rounds, and in their last 5 clashes, they won just once. They also haven’t been scoring many goals either, they netted 5 and allowed 7 of them in their most recent 5 affairs. But since they scored at least one or more in 4 out of 5 last home clashes, I think that they will manage to find the back of the net this time.
