Inter Milan continue their march towards the title as they travel to Udinese for a Monday night Serie A fixture. The Nerazzurri have been almost unstoppable lately and with Udinese struggling at the moment, the visitors will be confident of coming out on top.
Udinese are coming off a 1-1 draw at Sassuolo in their previous Serie A fixture. They went into the break level after Florian Thauvin cancelled out the hosts’ opener but neither side were able to find the winner in the second half.
That result means Udinese are now winless in their last 13 matches across all competitions. Gabriele Cioffi’s men are currently 13th on the standings, three points above the bottom three and need a swift upturn in results to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap.
One of the problems for Udinese is a poor run at home having failed to secure a win in their last six Serie A matches at Bluenergy Stadium. They were beaten 2-0 by Torino in their previous fixture in front of their fans.
Sitting 14 points clear at the top of the Serie A standings, Inter Milan’s title claim appears to be only a matter of time. They have been almost unstoppable in recent times and have not tasted defeat since September.
Inter Milan eased to a 2-0 victory over Empoli in their previous Serie A fixture. They were largely untroubled for much of the contest with goals in each half from Federico Dimarco and Alexis Sanchez earning them the win.
The Nerazzurri have also impressed on their travels and are yet to taste defeat away from home in Serie A. They have won their last five Serie A matches on the road, keeping three clean sheets in that run.
How the bookies view it
Inter Milan have been installed as overwhelming favourites and are priced at 1/2 by William Hill to claim the win. Udinese are considered outsiders among the bookies with a home win valued at 6/1 by bet365 while a draw is set at odds of 7/2 with Unibet.
Head to head
Inter Milan have a 35-16 advantage with 13 draws from 64 previous matches against Udinese. The Nerazzurri have also won five of the last six meetings and claimed a 4-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in December.
Players to watch
Inter Milan have looked solid at the back lately, keeping clean sheets in three of their last four away matches. Central defenders Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni have impressed in recent weeks and can lead the visitors to a clean sheet at 6/5 with Coral.
At the other end of the pitch, Lautaro Martinez is in the middle of a mini drought and is due a goal. The striker is still the leading scorer for Inter Milan with 23 Serie A goals and is priced at 11/10 by bet365 to get on the score sheet.
Anything else catch the eye?
Given the one-sided result in the reverse fixture, a -1 handicap for Inter Milan could be considered at 11/8 with BetVictor. Inter Milan have won to nil in three of their last four away matches and a repeat is priced at 31/20 by BetVictor.
Inter Milan have scored in both halves in two of their last three Serie A away matches and could be set for a similar pattern at 7/5 with William Hill.
