Udinese vs Inter Prediction & Betting Tips (28 September)

15th in Serie Last year with 2 small points ahead of the red zone, Udinese did not go far from relegation. The team based in Friuli, on the other hand, defies predictions at the start of the season, as evidenced by its 3rd place in the standings with 10 points taken in 5 matches. Florian Thauvin's partners started the championship by taking a point from Bologna 1-1 before beating Lazio 2-1, Como 1-0 and Parma at the end of a stunning 2-3 scenario. On the other hand, they suffered their first hitch last weekend, in the lair of Roma 3-0. Without competition on the national scene during the previous exercise, Inter won the Scudetto with a comfortable lead of 19 points on his runner-up. Simone Inzaghi's men are therefore logically considered the main favorites for their own succession this season.

Unfortunately, they are not yet running at full capacity. The Nerazzurri certainly avoided defeat during the first 3 days, 2 wins and 1 draw. On the other hand, they have disappointed since the return of the international break with a draw conceded at Monza 1-1 and especially a setback suffered at home against AC Milan last weekend 1-2. In the Champions League, Inter carried out a great operation by taking a point from the ogre Manchester City 0-0.

Returning to the club this summer, Chilean international Alexis Sanchez (ex-Inter) has unfortunately been injured since the start of the season. He is still missing this Saturday. Close to a return after a long unavailability, Spanish striker Deulofeu is announced as doubtful. Appointed captain of Udine, Florian Thauvin (3 goals and 1 assist in SA) is regaining color this season. The other attackers Brenner (1 goal and 1 assist in SA) and Lucca (2 goals in SA) should still accompany him up front. On the Inter side, replacement winger Buchanan has still not recovered from his injury.

We will face Udinese in the #CoppaItaliaFrecciarossa Round of 16.

He was joined in the infirmary by the essential midfielder Barella. Top scorer in the championship last year, captain Lautaro Martinez (1 assist in SA) is in doubt at the start of the season. His sidekick Marcus Thuram (4 goals in SA) shines more so far. To compensate for Barella's package, summer recruit Zielinski should accompany Calhanoglu and Mkhitaryan in the midfield.
