Udinese vs Inter Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Surprisingly the hosts are enjoying a better place in the standings than their opponents.

Udinese are set to host Inter Milan at the Bluenergy Stadium this Saturday on the 28th of September in their sixth game of the Serie A. Udinese are currently placed in 3rd position in the premier Italian league just behind Napoli while Inter are in 6th spot. Coincidentally both teams have lost their last Serie A matches.

Udinese have succumbed to a crushing defeat at the hands of AS Roma while Inter were outplayed by their derby rivals AC Milan. So both teams would be more than happy to get back to winning ways at the expense of the other.

On one side Simone Inzaghi would look to reestablish Inter’s dominance while Kosta Runjaic will hope to thwart the dreams of the Nerazzurri. Udinese’s current form will surely spur Runjaic to make a statement. That too when you are playing in your backyard with the home crowd rooting for you at the top of their lungs. All in all the match promises to be an exciting affair with a lot at stake.

Kick-Off :

Saturday, 28th September, 6:30 PM IST

Location: Blueenergy Stadium, Udine, Italy

Players to watch :

Florian Thauvin (Udinese)

Udinese captain Florian Thauvin has been leading his side from the front. More than a week back his brace against Parma put them at the top of the table. The 31-year-old was at the right place at the right time to convert both goals.

Keep in mind Udinese started the game with a goal down but catapulted to a win courtesy of Lorenzo Lucca and Thauvin himself. Moreover he is currently the third-highest goal-scorer after Mateo Retegui (Atalanta) and Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan). As such he will be spearheading the attack right behind Lucca and look to make a mess out of the Inter defence.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

Marcus Thuram has been Inter‘s best player this season. So much so that some of the hardcore Inter fans have openly proclaimed that he deserves the captain’s armband. Thuram has used his pace and power effectively. Not only has he scored goals but has also helped create chances.

Just like Thauvin he has been the catalyst for his team. The defence has found it hard to contain him. Look at his goals against Atalanta for example. Thuram managed to squeeze in two goals while being surrounded by defenders. The Udinese defenders have their work cut out for them as they now not only have to keep an eye on Lautaro Martinez but Marcus Thuram as well.

Match Prediction for Udinese vs Inter Milan

To put it in short Udinese are in better form while Inter have a better history. As things stand currently it’s hard to really put your finger on a definitive result. Marcus Thuram’s form will definitely give Inter hopes of causing a heartbreak in the Friulani camp but as they say anything can happen in football.

The Friulani’s will also look determined to bring a smile on their supporters faces after their abysmal performance at Stadio Olimpico.
