Udinese vs Inter Milan Prediction and Betting Tips | September 28th 2024

Udinese will invite Inter Milan to the Bluenergy Stadium in Serie A on Saturday. Both teams suffered their first defeats of the league campaign last week and will look to return to winning ways.

The hosts visited Roma in their previous league outing and suffered a 3-0 loss, failing to score for the first time this season. They bounced back with a win in their Coppa Italia second-round meeting against Salernitana on Wednesday with a 3-1 home triumph.

Inter met arch-rivals AC Milan in this season's first edition of the Derby della Madonnina last week and fell to a 2-1 loss. It was a close game as Federico Dimarco equalized in the 27th minute after Christian Pulisic gave Milan an early lead in the 10th minute. Defender Matteo Gabbia headed in the match-winner in the 89th minute following a free-kick.

Udinese vs Inter Milan Prediction

I Friulani saw their unbeaten streak in Serie A end after nine games last week and will look to leave a good record of themselves here. They failed to score for the first time for the first time in 11 league outings and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

Martin Payero, Lautaro Giannetti, and Alexis Sánchez are sidelined with injuries while Thomas Kristensen and Hassane Kamara have muscle fatigue and won't be risked here.

I Nerazzurri have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last three games across all competitions. They have drawn their two Serie A away games this term. Interestingly, they have won seven of their last 10 away meetings against I Friulani.

Tajon Buchanan is a long-term absentee while Nicolo Barella was injured against AC Milan and is unlikely to play here. Simone Inzaghi's men play in the UEFA Champions League next week and he will likely rotate his squad here.

While Inter have been the dominant side in recent meetings against Udinese, considering I Friulani's 100% home record this season, they are expected to put up a good fight. We expect a hard-fought win for Inter Milan
