Udinese vs Inter: match preview
Udinese sit in mid-table in Serie A, occupying tenth place. After 20 rounds, the team have collected 26 points. They trail the European qualification zone by eight points and are 12 points clear of the relegation zone. Udinese have conceded 32 goals across these 20 matches, which is the second-worst record in Serie A. Only one team have conceded more. In their previous five matches, the team recorded one win, two draws, and two defeats.
Inter are among the leaders of Serie A, although their points cushion is not significant and the battle for the title is still wide open. After 20 matches, they have accumulated 46 points, leading second place by three points and third place by six. Thus, Inter have clearly not secured anything yet, and the fight lies ahead. Their recent run of form is very solid. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in five consecutive matches, winning four of them and drawing once.
Probable lineups
- Udinese: Okoye; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet; Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Kamara; Atta; Davis
- Inter: Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Martinez, Esposito
Prediction
Inter are in excellent form and travel to face an unstable Udinese side that currently look like a clear mid-table team in Serie A. Udinese have the second-worst defense in the league, while Inter boast the best attack. I believe the visitors are capable of taking the win, so I suggest a bet in their favor.
