The last match of gameweek 4 in Serie A sees Inter hosting Udinese at the Giuseppe Meazza. The double winners of last season started with three wins. Though a convincing start against Monza (4-1), they struggled much more against both Cagliari (0-1) and Napoli (3-2), the latter was especially close as they rescued themselves from being 0-2 behind, with a 91st minute winner from last season’s top scorer, Lautaro Martínez. Last Tuesday, the Nerazzurri visited the Bernabéu, where they lost 2-1 to Real Madrid after a shocking defensive display. Cristian Chivu remained optimistic after the match, as his team did register 21 shots which was the most Real Madrid faced since 2004 in a Champions League match. They will likely want to show their quality again this week after a few rough performances. Udinese are currently in 12th place after three games (1W, 1D, 1L). The Bianconeri lost their first game of the season to Lazio (1-2); despite starting well in the first half they ended up losing the game in the second half when Lazio played better. The most exciting players for Udinese so far are Hassane Kamara and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp; they have already accumulated 5 G/A together, so if Udinese can score there’s a good chance one of them is involved. Udinese haven’t had the best record in recent history away against Inter, though they did win last year in August for the first time since 2017. It is unlikely to end in a draw, as none of the last 12 meetings ended with that result. Inter will only be missing Djed Spence and potentially Federico Dimarco, who is back in training by now. Udinese have a much longer injury list, missing Zaniolo, Zanolo, Solet, Palma, Arizala, and Piotrowski due to various injuries; most should return later this month.
