The Italian Serie A season is now underway as we enter game week 2 of the 2025/26 campaign.
Inter got off to a wicked start to the season, winning 5-0 to kickstart another title challenge. Meanwhile, Udinese had to settle for a 1-1 draw in the season opener.
Key Betting Tip: Inter to Win at 1.28 odds on Kwiff represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
Inter Predicted XI: Yann Sommer; Alessandro Bastoni, Francesco Acerbi, Benjamin Pavard; Federico Dimarco, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Nicolo Barella, Petar Sucic, Denzel Dumfries; Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram.
Udinese Predicted XI: Razvan Sava; Oumar Solet, Thomas Kristensen, Nicolo Bertola; Jordan Zemura, Arthur Atta, Jesper Karlstrom, Sandi Lovric, Kingsley Ehizibue; Iker Bravo, Keinan Davis.
It is difficult to say what kind of the lineups each manager will go for, but we believe that both Cristian Chivu and Kosta Runjaic will not change their lineups at all drastically, since it is still an early stage in the season.
The hosts will have a full-strength squad available for this fixture, while Udinese head west without Matteo Palma, who picked up a muscle injury in training and will be out until early September.
Inter certainly gave their goal difference an important boost in what is expected to be another tight title race. Their 5-0 thumping of Turin side Torino saw them top the standing after one round of fixtures.
Udinese, however, reside in mid table, after they saw a 1-0 lead slip to share the spoils with Hellas Verona on the opening weekend. They sit tight in 12th place and have serious opportunities to make the most of their upcoming matches to earn maximum points, maybe aside from this one.
In what was once a relatively even fixture, although Inter still had the edge, the Nerazzurri now take the head-to-head on a complete landslide. They have now won the last six meetings with Udinese and haven’t lost at home to them since 2017.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
The last meeting fell back in March, where the Nerazzuri took the share of the spoils 2-1 at the San Siro. Solet’s second half response came in vain following Marko Arnautovic and Davide Frattesi’s strikes in the first period.
Inter Last 5 Matches:
A successful pre-season period has translated well into the first match of the season. Thuram and Martinez have already struck three between them and they are full of confidence.
Udinese Last 5 Matches:
It has been an excellent pre-season for the northeastern Italian side, winning their last three friendly matches before cruising past Carrarese to make the next round of the Coppa Italia. They also started their Italian top-flight campaign with a tight draw with Verona, which leaves importance in getting a result on Sunday.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Inter to Win @ 1.28 - Recent form suggests confidence in an Inter victory. Of course, we are just one match into the season, so not every team is at full strength yet, but Inter’s statement victory on the opening weekend puts them in a favourable position to make it six points from six on Sunday. It will be comfortable victory for Inter, but we can see Udinese finding a way past Inter’s defensive line.
Marcus Thuram (Inter): The Frenchman has already bagged two this season, and the Nerazzuri’s top scorer last campaign will be seeking a golden boot following Mateo Retegui’s switch for Al Qadsiah.
Iker Bravo (Udinese): The 20-year-old could experience a breakout season this campaign. After transferring to Italy from the Real Madrid Castilla in 2024, he made just three contributions all season last campaign, but he has already scored in his only competitive game for the 2025/26 season, so he is certainly one to watch.
Referee: Matteo Marchetti (ITA). The Italian official has taken charge of over 150 matches and has handed out an average of 4.2 yellow cards per match.

Stadium Information: Located in northern Italy, the San Siro is home to one of the fiercest rivalries and hosts the joint-closest Derby in club football. The venue hosts fixtures for both AC and Inter Milano and can hold up to just over 80,000 spectators. It always brings a hostile and passionate atmosphere, and we expect no different in this one.
