Udinese vs Inter: Match Prediction
Udinese have one of the worst goals-conceded records in the current campaign, and even at home the home side do not boast a reliable defence. In their last five Serie A home matches the club kept a clean sheet only once, and conceded eight goals across the other four games. In particular, Udinese allowed Pisa to score twice in the previous home league match against a opponent that sits last in the standings.
Inter are confident on the road and show high scoring figures. In their last 11 away Serie A fixtures the visitors always scored at least once, and only on three occasions in that run did they score just once. Moreover, in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head league meetings at Udinese the visiting team scored at least twice.
Prediction: Inter Over 1.5 goals
* The starting lineup shown for each team is from its previous match in this competition.
