The Zebrette look to keep their remarkable run going on Sunday with these Udinese vs. Inter predictions. The hosts have won their last four games but face one of their biggest tests of the season so far against the Nerazzurri.
Udinese vs. Inter odds
1 – A draw at full-time – 3/1
2 – Both teams to score – 4/6
3 – Inter to win by one goal – 14/5
4 – Lautaro Martinez to score anytime – 6/4
5 – Beto to score last – 11/2
Inter travel to Udinese on Sunday afternoon hoping to leapfrog their opponents in the Serie A table. Just one point separates the two sides ahead of the meeting at the Dacia Arena with the hosts coming out on top in recent form.
Following four consecutive wins, this has been amongst the best ever starts to the season for the Zebrette who currently sit in fourth place in the Serie A table. Inter may have been inconsistent by their own lofty standards but are just two places lower in sixth and have won the same number of games in the opening six rounds.
Matchday seven looks set to shake things up and a win for either side at the Dacia Arena could potentially see one claim the Serie A top spot. Remarkably the fixture list has conspired to see the remaining teams in the top six facing off with Napoli taking on Milan and Atalanta facing Roma. As a result, three points on Sunday will be more important than ever.
Understandably, Inter are favourites to secure the win, however, given Udinese’ remarkable start to the season we back the hosts to secure a draw this weekend. The visitors’ mid-week Champions League commitments could cause fatigue whilst Simone Inzaghi’s side have been clearly off their game in recent weeks.
A close match is expected for this tie and this is likely to be represented in the shoreline. A wager on a winning margin of just one goal could well pay off, as it would have done in this fixture last season. Another winner could be on both teams to score as the visitors have failed to score against their opponents just once in their last six meetings, whilst Udinese have scored in all but one game this season.
The Nerazzurri have struggled with goalscoring in recent weeks, with Lautaro Martinez current on a three-match dry streak. That having been said, with Romelu Lukaku out injured the impetus will remain with the Argentine as Inter’s leading goalscorer.
For the hosts, Beto impressed having come off the bench in their win over Sassuolo. The forward scored two and may be handed a start over Isaac Success, but if not it may be worth a punt on the Brazilian to score last.

Udinese team news
Andrea Sottil is not expected to make any changes for this weekend fixture. Adam Masina, Jaka Bijol and Leonardo Buta are all missing from defence limiting the coach’s options to rotate. The only significant change could see Beto come in following last weekend’s brace.
Inter team news
A hectic fixture list combined with a number of key injuries will make selection difficult for Simone Inzaghi on Sunday. There is a chance for Romelu Lukaku to return to the bench, however Arturo Vidal and Robin Gosens both miss out through injury. With Andre Onana starting in the Champions League it is assumed that Samir Handanovic will feature in goal on Sunday.
