Udinese vs Inter predictions
Third in the table Udinese have made an impressive start to the new Serie A season, claiming ten points from their opening five matches.
An unbeaten start of four matches came to an abrupt end last Sunday, when they went down 3-0 in the capital against Roma.
But undeterred, Udinese bounced back impressively with a 3-1 victory over Salernitana in the Copa Italia 2nd round on Wednesday.
Udinese have won both their Serie A matches at home this season. They started off with a 2-1 win over Lazio in gameweek two, and consolidated with a 1-0 victory over Como the following weekend.
Throw in their two home cup wins this season, and they are four from four at the Bluenergy Stadium.
Florian Thauvin has started the season strong. The striker has found the net three times already in Serie A. Thauvin will resume his partnership up front with Lorenzo Lucca, after sitting out the midweek Copa Italia win.
Udinese have almost a full strength squad to pick from. Their only absentee is Alexis Sanchez, who is yet to appear for the club since rejoining in the summer.
They have coped fine so far without the former Inter striker. So we don’t expect his absence to have much of an impact this weekend.
Onto Inter Milan, and the defending Serie A champions are in a strange run of form at the moment.
Their last performance will be the one that stings the most.
Looking for a seventh straight win in the Milan derby on Sunday, Inter went down 2–1 in a below-par performance to AC Milan.
The defeat was made all the more painful with the winner from Matteo Gabbia coming after 89 minutes.
But to put things into perspective, the loss in the Derby della Madonnina was Inter’’s first defeat of the season.
Summing up Inter’s inconsistent form, their defeat to Milan followed off the back of arguably their best performance of the season, a 0-0 draw away to Manchester City in the Champions League.
Nevertheless, it has so far been a strange season, in which the Serie A champions are yet to really find their groove.
Inconsistency seems to be the problem. And this makes reading Inter more difficult.
On one hand, Inter have only lost once this season. On the other, they are now three games without a win, having drawn 1-1 away to Monza the weekend before they faced Manchester City.
Stats eh. You can read them how you want to.
But go back a few games, and there were comprehensive victories over Lecce (2-0) and Atalanta (4-0) in August. There looked little wrong with the team back then.
Another problem facing Simone Inzaghi is the form of Lautaro Martínez. The Argentine has struggled for goals this season, and is yet to find the back of the net for the club.
The plight of Martinez kind of sums up the performances of Inter at the moment. Things aren’t that bad, but they need to improve soon.

Udinese vs Inter betting tips
Udinese have lost six of their last seven matches against Inter. Saturday’s match represents a great chance for Kosta Runjaic’s side to improve that statistic.
They will be confident. Although they lost 3-0 to Roma last weekend, Runjaic’s Udinese team has been in good form. We say they have a great chance of getting something from the match against an up-and-down Inter. You can read more about it in our Udinese vs Inter betting tips below.
Udinese to win or draw in double chance
Inter is yet to win in the month of September.
Okay, that stat may be slightly disingenuous as Inter have only played three times this month, and one of those matches was away to Manchester City.
But the facts are that Inter has not won a match since they defeated Atalanta on 30th August.
Furthermore, Udinese has won four from four at home this season. Winning is a habit, and Udinese will be full of confidence as they prepare to face the champions.

Their one defeat of the season – to Roma last weekend – can almost be written off. The Yellow and Reds had just sacked Daniele De Rossi a few days earlier. There was always going to be a reaction, and Udinese copped it.
Inter is 12/25 to win. Udinese and the draw is 8/5 in the double chance market. The latter has to be the bet.
Tip Udinese/draw in the double chance market at 8/5 with Copybet
Under 2.5 goals
This may be a bit of an outdated football stereotype, but when a team is under pressure, the first thing they do is try and avoid losing.
Now, Inter has only lost once this season. They are not exactly in a rot. But they haven’t got going yet, and Simone Inzaghi’s team are yet to win on the road.
As a result, Inzaghi may well adopt a cautious approach and try to leave Udine without a second successive defeat.
Furthermore, Inter has kept three clean sheets this season, so they have something there to build on.
Inzaghi may opt to keep things tight and either accept a draw, or attempt to hit Udinese on the break and sneak a low scoring win.
Either way, a bet on under 2.5 goals at odds-against looks the way to go.

Florian Thauvin to score or assist
With zero goals to his name this season, we were very tempted to go for Lautaro Matinez to score anytime at 23/20.
He will score soon.
But with Inter and Martinez a bit out of sorts, we are going to give this wager a miss.
Instead we like the look of Florian Thauvin to score or assist anytime.
So far this season, in all competitions, the Frenchman has seven goal involvements in six matches. The breakdown is four goals and three assists.
Yes, there will be less opportunities against a defensively well-drilled Inter team.
But Thauvin has been involved in everything good that Udinese have done this season.
And we think if his team can get a result against the league champions, he will play a significant part in it.
