Overview
Inter Milan are on a 7-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, including 6 wins. Coach Simone Inzaghi's team is also the strongest attack in Serie A this season (65 goals).
With 64 points after 29 rounds, Inter are in control of the Scudetto race. They are currently 3 points ahead of Napoli and meeting Udinese is a good opportunity for the reigning Serie A champions to accumulate points for the championship race.
For Udinese, their 6-match unbeaten streak was ended after a 0-1 loss to Verona, the team with the worst defense in the league right at home. Compared to Inter, who are in good form, coach Kosta Runjaic's team is clearly at a disadvantage in every aspect. In addition, in the upcoming match, they will have to visit Giuseppe Meazza.
Udinese have had poor away form, having won just one of their last five away games. Meanwhile, Inter have been unbeaten in 11 home matches in Serie A, including 4 consecutive wins.
The history of confrontations is also on Inter's side. In the last 6 home matches against Udinese, the Milan team won all, scoring a total of 16 goals and only conceding 2 goals. Both of those goals came in their 3-2 win earlier this season.
Udinese have not won against Inter since 2017. In the context of Inter in dire need of points to defend their Serie A title, Udinese are unlikely to create a surprise away from home.
Personnel situation
