The Matchday 2 Serie A fixture between Inter and Udinese will take place on August 31 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Inter vs. Udinese: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Inter
Christian Chivu's side started the season with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Torino at home. This marks Inter's fourth clean sheet win in their last five Serie A matches. Additionally, it's the first time in 2025 that the club has won by more than four goals in the league. With three points, the Milanese team sits at the top of the standings.
Notably, the club has parted ways with midfielder Kristjan Asllani, who has joined Torino.
- The club has won 8 of their last 10 home Serie A matches.
- The team has scored at least twice in 5 of their previous 7 home league games.
- The Milanese side has conceded in 5 of their last 7 home Serie A matches.
Predicted lineup for Inter (3-5-2)
Yann Sommer – Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni – Denzel Dumfries, Petar Sucic, Nicolo Barella, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco – Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram.
Udinese
Costa Runjaic's side drew 1-1 with Verona at home in their opening match. As a result, Udinese has failed to win 11 of their last 12 Serie A matches (3 draws, 8 losses). Moreover, the club has failed to score in four of their last five league games. The team has one point and is in the middle of the standings.
Notably, before this round, Udinese added forward Adam Buksa to their squad.
- The club has not won in 8 of their last 10 away Serie A matches (3 draws, 5 losses).
- The team has conceded exactly 1 or 2 goals in their last six away league matches.

Inter vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
At home, the Milanese rarely drop points, but they don't boast high scoring prowess. In their last 12 Serie A matches, Inter has scored more than two goals only four times, with two of those matches against Monza and Empoli, who were relegated last season. Furthermore, in their opening match, Christian Chivu's side scored five times against Torino but had a low xG of 1.59.
Udinese struggles in away games but tries to limit chances in their penalty area. In their last eight away Serie A matches, the club hasn't conceded more than two goals, even against opponents like Napoli, Inter, Juventus, and Lazio. I expect Costa Runjaic's side to limit the hosts' scoring, so my prediction: Inter individual total under 2.5 goals
