Why Bet on Milan
The champion returns. Everything is a party in Milan and this Saturday there will be a full house of 40,000 fans at the San Siro. After 11 years, the Rossonero team became champions again and continues to be cause for celebration for the tifosi, who dream of seeing this historic club once again in the top places in Italy and Europe after several disappointments.
For this year Stefano Pioli’s team managed to maintain the base of players and was reinforced with two very good ones: the Belgian striker Divock Origi who came from Liverpool, and the Belgian midfielder Charles De Ketelaere who comes from Brugges. However, they have not brought in players to replace the casualties of Franck Kessié (Barcelona) and Alessio Romagnoli (Lazio). The first one was one of the key players in the title, and the second one was the captain.
In the preseason they had 5 friendlies, but only 2 of them were against teams that could complicate them, and they resolved it with away wins versus Köln (1-2) and Marseille (0-2).
Why Bet on Udinese
The season is not looking very good for Udinese. The Friulli team lost their right-back Nahuel Molina (Atlético Madrid) and their star, striker Gerard Deulofeu, already has a price and several European teams are fighting for him.
Those led by Andrea Sottil, who always have the mission of fighting to stay on the Serie A calmly, want to have a good start to, first fulfill their goal early, and, secondly, see if they have a chance to give a fight for Europe.
Left-backs Adam Masina (Watford), Enzo Ebosse (Angers) and Leonardo Buta (Braga), central defender Jaka Bijol (CSKA Moscow), right-back and winger Festy Ebosele (Derby County) and midfielder Sandi Lovric (FC Lugano) are the reinforcements for this season. But the fans seem to be not very happy about this.
Final Betting Analysis: Milan vs. Udinese
Milan arrives as the great candidate, with a very good team and with their reinforcements they will fight again for the title, a different case from Udinese, which will surely be fighting in the lower part of the table, so we believe that the Rossonero will be the winner of this match, where they will also play at home with a full stadium.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Milan is the clear favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -243, while Udinese has +650 and the draw is +380.
Last season both games were tied 1-1 and there are already 3 consecutive games with that score. Udinese have not won at the San Siro since September 11, 2016 (0-1).
Go for a straight win for Milan in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -243, you will gain $41 for a total payout of $141.
