Inter Milan vs Udinese Prediction
Inter Milan vs Udinese Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 2 of Serie A, set for Sunday, August 31, at the San Siro. Inter come into this fixture flying after their 5-0 demolition of Torino, while Udinese are searching for their first league win. In this article, you’ll discover Serie A Predictions and insights from the XpertStats team.
- Inter Milan opened the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Torino at San Siro.
- Cristian Chivu’s men are chasing a seventh straight win over Udinese.
- Udinese are without suspended goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
- Udinese have won only one of their last 12 Serie A matches.
Inter’s new boss Cristian Chivu could hardly have asked for a better debut. The former Nerazzurri defender watched his side slice Torino apart, with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram looking sharp up front. Ange-Yoan Bonny, a familiar face from Chivu’s Parma stint, even chipped in with a goal. Can this momentum really carry them through the early weeks? It feels like the scars from last season’s collapse might be healing faster than expected.
Still, one game doesn’t make a season. Inter fans know that all too well. The squad looks deep, with Calhanoglu back from suspension and new recruits like Petar Sucic waiting in the wings. San Siro will also host Arsenal and Liverpool in the coming weeks, but for now, the focus is squarely on Serie A. Chivu’s challenge is keeping the players’ feet on the ground while aiming high. That’s easier said than done, of course.
As for Udinese, the trip to Milan feels like climbing Everest in sneakers. Kosta Runjaic’s team managed only a 1-1 draw at home to Verona on Monday, despite taking the lead through Thomas Kristensen. That result extended a poor run: just one win in their last twelve league matches. Throw in the suspension of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, and it’s a real uphill battle. Can they scrap out a point? History says no, eight straight away defeats at Inter tell the story.
Even so, Udinese won’t just roll over. They’ve got talent in Keinan Davis and Iker Bravo up front, with Alexis Sanchez lurking on the bench against his old club. But whether that’s enough against Inter’s firepower is another matter. The reality is, Inter have the form, the confidence, and the head-to-head edge. That said, football always leaves room for surprises. Could Sunday be one of those days? The odds aren’t kind to Udinese, but stranger things have happened in Serie A.
All told, this clash looks like another statement opportunity for Inter. Chivu’s men are targeting consistency, and matches like these can define momentum early in the season. Udinese will fight, but on paper, it’s Nerazzurri all the way. For more insights and stats, don’t miss our in-depth take on the latest Serie A Predictions.
Backing Inter Milan (-1.5) looks a strong play considering the gulf between these sides. The Nerazzurri looked ruthless in their opening 5-0 rout of Torino, with their star forwards Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram already in mid-season form. Inter have history on their side as well, winning their last seven against Udinese, including comfortable wins at San Siro last season. Udinese’s recent struggles are hard to ignore: only one win in twelve league matches and a reputation for folding on the road. Their defense is already shaky, and without banned goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, things get even trickier. Chivu’s men are not only motivated to chase the Scudetto but also to make San Siro a fortress again. Given Inter’s firepower, squad depth, and Udinese’s poor record in Milan, a two-goal winning margin feels more than achievable.
