Inter vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

Inter Milan, leader of this Serie A, is still under pressure from Juventus Turin, 2nd just 2 points behind. Any misstep is prohibited for the Lombard club which is obliged to string together victories. Undefeated in 12 matches, 9 wins and 3 draws, Inter are coming off the last few good performances on the grounds of Juventus Turin 1-1 and Benfica 3-3 in the Champions League then at Naples 0-3 last weekend thanks to the achievements of Calhanoglu, Barella and Thuram. After 3 consecutive trips, the Milanese club returned to its Giuseppe Meazza stadium where the Nerazzurri won their last 3 home games against Red Bull Salzburg 2-1 in the Champions League, against AS Roma 1-0 and ahead of Frosinone 2-0 last November 12. Udinese should be the next victim of Simone Inzaghi's players.

The Friuli club, 16th overall, is only 2 points ahead of Cagliari, 19th, and could fall into the red zone in the event of a defeat in Lombardy. Florian Thauvin's teammates 2 goals have only signed 1 victory since August 11 in the cup, it was at Milan 0-1 on November 4. Since this date, Udinese have followed up with 2 draws against Atalanta Bergamo 1-1 and against Istra 1961 1-1 in a friendly then with 1 large defeat in Rome 3-1 and 1 poor performance at home against Hellas Verona 3-3 first relegation. This trip to Lombardy should be a long journey for Cioffi's foals who have heavily lost their last 3 visits to Giuseppe Meazza 5-1, 2-0, 3-1.

When Udinese come calling in the Serie A, the net tends to bulge at both ends, with this being the case in 13 of the defending champions’ previous 16 away matches at this level. It has been a similar story in Inter home games at the top table of the Serie A recently, with both teams on target in seven of their last eight encounters, so expect more of the same.
