Inter vs Udinese Match Preview, Prediction, Timings, Lineups, Teams, and How to Watch

San Siro braces for another test of Inter’s title defence as Udinese roll into Milan on the back of a surprisingly solid start of their own. The reigning champions have looked ruthless so far — but this Friulian side isn’t the pushover their recent history against Inter might suggest.

The Story So Far

Cristian Chivu’s Inter have made a perfect start to 2026-27: a 4-1 demolition of Monza followed by a gritty 1-0 win at Cagliari, leaving them second in the table with 6 points from 2 games and just 1 goal conceded. Udinese, meanwhile, have quietly impressed under Kosta Runjaic, sitting 7th with 4 points, a win and a draw from their opening two matches. Historically, though, this fixture has been one-sided — Inter’s all-time head-to-head record against Udinese shows a heavy tilt in the Nerazzurri’s favour, according to Serie A’s official statistics.

Inter vs Udinese: Match Details

Team News & Likely Lineups

Inter head into this one with a settled squad and no major fresh injury concerns reported at the time of writing, giving Chivu a full deck to work with. Expect Lautaro Martínez and Hakan Çalhanoğlu — Inter’s standout performer so far this season — to lead the attacking and creative responsibilities.

Udinese will be without Matteo Palma, Nicolò Zaniolo, Giorgi Chakvetadze, and Alessandro Zanoli, all sidelined through injury — a notable dent to Runjaic’s attacking and midfield options heading into a tough away trip.

Prediction

Inter’s early-season form, home advantage, and dominant historical record against Udinese make them clear favourites here. Expect the hosts to control possession and create the better chances throughout, though Udinese’s early-season resilience could make them tougher to break down than the head-to-head numbers suggest.

Predicted Score: Inter 2-0 Udinese
