Recent Form and Standings

Inter Milan, enjoying a remarkable campaign, sit at the top of the Serie A table. They've shown formidable form, particularly in their recent 3-0 victory over defending champions Napoli. With 11 wins and two draws in 14 matches, their record of 33 goals scored and just seven conceded highlights their dominance.

Udinese, however, finds itself struggling this season, currently placed 16th in the standings. Their performance could have been better, with only one victory in 14 matches, alongside a significant number of draws. Their recent 3-3 draw with Hellas Verona underlines their inconsistent form.

Historically, Inter Milan holds a strong record against Udinese, winning 28 out of 55 matches, while Udinese has secured 14 victories. Key players to watch include Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, who has been a crucial performer for the team. 

Despite their struggles, Udinese players will need to step up significantly to challenge a strong Inter side.

Injuries and Suspensions

Inter Milan faces some defensive challenges with Denzel Dumfries, Stefan de Vrij, and Benjamin Pavard, who are all unavailable due to injuries. Udinese will miss the services of Enzo Ebosse, Keinan Davis, and Gerard Deulofeu, who were also sidelined with injuries.

Playing Styles and Tactics

Inter Milan's impressive performance this season can be attributed to their balanced and dynamic playing style, combining a solid defence with an aggressive attack. 

Despite their struggles, Udinese will likely focus on a more defensive approach, looking for opportunities to counterattack against a formidable Inter side.
