It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Udinese have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Udinese have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 8 goals on the way. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this next game, however.

Leading up to this clash, Udinese:

• have not beaten Inter Milan in their last 2 league games.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

🗞️ Team News: Udinese

Gerard Deulofeu (Knee surgery), Keinan Davis (muscular problems), Brenner (unknown injury) and Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Udinese gaffer Gabriele Cioffi.

It seems likely that Bianconeri Friuliani will probably line up in a 3-5-1-1 system for this one and select Maduka Okoye, Joao Ferreira, Jaka Bijol, Nehuen Perez, Roberto Pereyra, Sandi Lovric, Walace, Lazar Samardzic, Hassane Kamara, Florian Thauvin and Isaac Success.

ℹ️ Team News: Inter Milan

Out of a mainly available squad, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi to contend with. Juan Cuadrado (Achilles tendon surgery) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Nerazzurri could decide to elect for a 3-5-2 formation with a starting lineup of Yann Sommer, Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Carlos Augusto, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, Inter Milan will more than likely get amongst the goals when they face Udinese, who won’t find it easy to get a goal of their own.
