Inter Milan will attempt to keep up the pace with the Serie A leaders as they host Udinese at San Siro. The Nerazzurri are on an unbeaten run at home which stretches back to last season and will be full of confidence against an erratic Udinese team.
Inter Milan have not got off to the best start in their title defence and have been forced to play catch-up to Napoli and AC Milan. The champions are seven points off the pace and will be keen to build some momentum in order to close the gap.
Simone Inzaghi’s men successfully came through a mini slump as they claimed a 2-0 victory at Empoli last time out in Serie A. They had failed to win their previous two matches, but goals from Danilo D'Ambrosio and Federico Demarco were enough to seal the three points on Wednesday.
Udinese are still attempting to gain some traction on their campaign as they sit in the bottom half of the table, just four points above the relegation zone. They have failed to secure a Serie A win since going unbeaten in their opening three matches.
Luca Gotti’s men travel to Inter Milan off the back of a 1-1 draw with Verona in their midweek Serie A fixture. They failed to build on Isaac Success' early opener and conceded the equaliser six minutes from time.
A problem for Udinese is they seem unable to keep things tight at the back having kept just one clean sheet in their 10 Serie A matches so far.
