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.

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
