Milan defeat at Napoli has been sensational result for more then one reason. Milan was close to secure the Champions League place, but they lost everything in just 90 minutes. Napoli did not need points, and recently they had been in pretty bad form. Without Champions League football, Milan loses lot of money and that will ruin their campaign at transfer market during the summer. But, they’ve been knocked out at San Paolo. Udinese has already finished this season as we could see in their defeat from Cagliari. They are without motivation as it is not important if they will finish as sixth or seventh. Their current position is securing UEFA Cup football for them which is more then they hoped for. Injuries and bad form in the January and February ruined their chances for even better results. We should remind you that before that bad run, Udinese has been in position that would guarantee Champions League place.

The worst performance of the season

Milan did not offer anything at Napoli, They did not fight and it was obvious that the team is not the same without Pirlo. All other star players have been tired and out of form. It was interesting to see that stats after the game. It was like Napoli needed the points. Now, Milan is in pretty bad situation. They had to appeal on Torino players to play for their pride against Fiorentina, but we can not expect that Viola will miss the given chance. Ancelotti was disappointed after the game, but he said that he still believed that 4th place is not out of reach even it would be hard mission since the situation is out of their control. The only good news is that without Champions League, Milan would have the advantage in front of their rivals in Serie A, but still financial loss would be huge. They already signed Flamini, but it won’t be enough. After results from this year, it is obvious that they need complete reconstruction.

Udinese won 3 out of last 6 games at Meazza

Friulians have good tradition against Milan and Inter on the road. Marin’s team took a draw against the leader in the season opener. They already won against Juventus and Fiorentina away, but the big question is if they will be able to give the maximum at the end of the season. It looks like they are already thinking about holiday. Against Cagliari it was obvious that they are without motivation. The name of the Milan could be great motivation by itself. This year was the year of full affirmation for couple of their players and their patron Pozzo has already announced that he will do his best to keep the team together. With couple of good signings, Udinese could be contender for Champions League next year. Still, we can not expect that they will be able to resist to big-money offers of big clubs for their stars, young defender Zapata and the best goal scorer Antonio di Natale.

Betting verdict


Milan is the favorite, but if they hear bad news from Torino, they will hardly be able to give their best against Udinese. Visitors can play without pressure, trying to use the must win situation in which they rivals are. Milan won at Udine in first leg, even Udinese was better rival. We are not sure that 1.25 odds for home win are realistic. Udinese at +1.5 asian handicap is our advice.

Team news : Jankulovski, Maldini, Emerson are injured for Milan, Nesta and Gattuso are suspended. Lukovic, Felipe, Obodo, D'Agostino, Isla, Ferronetti will miss game for Udinese.

Our tip: Bet 4 on Udinese to win with +1.5 asian handicap
