Inter Milan vs Udinese Prediction
Inter Milan are currently 3rd in the league. Simone Inzaghi's men have won only two of their last five league games, and need to pick up form if they are to remain in the title race.
Nicolò Barella is set to extend his contract with Inter. New deal will be for next five years with increased salary. Liverpool never opened talks to sign him despite rumours. 🔵🇮🇹 #Inter #LFC
“We’re close to reach the agreement with Barella”, Inter CEO Beppe Marotta confirmed.
Udinese, on the other hand, have drawn their last four league games. The likes of Roberto Pereyra and Isaac Success will have to be at their attacking best if Udinese are to get a positive result.
Inter Milan will be the favourites.
Prediction: Inter Milan 2-0 Udinese
