Inter Milan host Udinese at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Monday night, and on paper this is as clear a home banker as the Serie A weekend offers. This fixture pits table-toppers against strugglers.
The reigning Serie A champions arrive in decent shape under Cristian Chivu, sitting third in the table and eager to keep their domestic momentum ticking over after a Champions League setback in midweek.
Udinese travel to Milan looking to bounce back after a home defeat in their previous league outing, sitting 10th on four points from their opening three matches.
The recent head-to-head makes grim reading for the visitors: Inter have won seven of their last eight against Udinese in all competitions, so the hosts head in as heavy favourites.
Inter Milan vs Udinese Form
Inter are the form side and it shows. They are undefeated in their last 13 matches in Serie A and have scored at least two goals in nine of their last 11 in the competition. Sitting third in the table, Chivu's men lean on Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram up top, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu pulling strings from the engine room.
Udinese arrive stubborn but stretched, ranked 13th for form and sitting mid-table after a slow start. They are a direct, physical outfit that thrives on counter attacks and long balls, but this is a big step up. Keinan Davis leads the line, with Jesper Karlström tasked with controlling the tempo in the middle.

Inter Milan vs Udinese Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This has home comfort written all over it. Inter are heavy favourites, undefeated in their last 13 in Serie A and dominant in this head-to-head, and we make it a 2-0 win for the hosts.
Best Bets
Back Marcus Thuram in the Anytime Goalscorer market. With Inter projected to score more than two and a half goals as dominant home favourites, Thuram leads the line with a strong scoring profile, so the Frenchman getting on the scoresheet makes plenty of sense at this ground.
Back 'Yes' in the Both Teams To Score market. This shapes up as an open contest with plenty of goals in the projection, and with Udinese happy to take their shots and hit on the counter, there is a fair implied probability of both teams finding the net.
Inter Milan vs Udinese Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder leans into Inter's attacking threat and a spicy Udinese: Lautaro Martínez over 3.5 shots and over 0.5 shots on target, Hakan Çalhanoğlu anytime goalscorer and Jakub Piotrowski to be carded.
Lautaro loves this fixture. He has attempted four or more shots in five of his last six appearances against Udinese in Serie A, so over 3.5 shots is a strong starting leg.
The same story backs the second leg. Lautaro has recorded at least one shot on target in seven of his last eight appearances against Udinese in Serie A, making over 0.5 on target look solid.
Çalhanoğlu is in form in front of goal, having scored in two of his last three appearances in Serie A, so the midfielder to find the net rounds out the attacking legs nicely.
For the final leg, Piotrowski has been carded in two of his last three appearances in Serie A, and cards are always in play when a stretched side has to chase the game.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 14/1 and is as short as 9.56/1 elsewhere.

Inter Milan vs Udinese Talking Points
The key battle is in the middle of the park. Inter's quality trio must withstand the physical pressing of Udinese's midfield pivot, with Çalhanoğlu and Karlström the crucial metronomes for their respective sides. Chivu spoke this week about long-term tactical progress and managing a congested schedule, but rotation should not soften a home side that dominates this head-to-head. Udinese, 10th on four points from three matches, will pin their hopes on quick transitions, yet Inter's undefeated Serie A run and squad depth point firmly one way.
