Udinese vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-09-27 13:00.
[p]Last Sunday’s trip to Rome saw Udinese suffer a 3-0 defeat against Roma, a result which halted their unbeaten four-game start to the Serie A campaign. They actually topped the league before that Roma defeat, but the Bianconeri reacted well with a 3-1 victory over Salernitana in midweek Coppa Italia action, restoring the positive momentum in their campaign with a fourth win from their last five matches (L1).[/p]
[p]New coach Kosta Runjaić seems to have placed added focus on improving their fortunes at home, and given the fact Udinese won a joint league-low one match last term (D11, L7), there was clear room for improvement. Runjaić has worked wonders on that front in the infancy of his tenure, with Udinese winning each of their four competitive home outings this term, leading at half-time in all four.[/p]
[p]Many thought Inter Milan would add a record-breaking seventh consecutive win in last weekend’s Milan derby, but a 2-1 defeat saw the reigning champions third successive winless outing (D2, L1). In fact, with their eight points after the opening five rounds (W2, D2, L1) Inter have posted their worst five-game start to a Serie A campaign by way of points since the 2018/19 season, with an injury to Nicolò Barella compounding their misery.[/p]
[p]The visitors need to start picking up points if they’re to mount a title challenge, but that may be easier said than done on the road, where Inter have registered three consecutive away draws in all competitions. That’s part of a run which has seen Inter win just once across their last six competitive trips (D4, L1) – against relegated Frosinone – signalling just how much they’ve struggled on their travels of late. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Lorenzo Lucca has scored three of his four competitive goals for Udinese this season at home, with all four arriving before the hour mark. Inter’s Federico Dimarco has scored or assisted in three of his last four competitive matches for club or country (G2, A1), with each of his last four goals arriving inside the opening 35 minutes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been ten goals scored before the break across the last five H2Hs.[/p]
