Inter vs Udinese: Serie A Prediction (31.08.2025)

On Sunday, August 31, at 20:45 CEST, at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan, Inter Milan will host Udinese in the second round of the 2025-2026 Serie A season. In the opening game, Inter crushed Torino 5:0 at home, while Udinese drew 1:1 with Verona.

Last season, Inter finished as Serie A runners-up, while Udinese ended up only in 12th place. It is no surprise that for the Inter – Udinese clash, bookmakers consider the Milan side the clear favorite. A win for Inter is offered at odds of 1.33, a draw at 5.45, and a win for Udinese at 10.00. The total over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.65, suggesting a slightly above-average scoring game. Both teams to score is available at 2.01 – though most goals are expected from the home side.

Inter

Last season, Inter Milan was the most prolific team in Serie A, scoring 79 goals. For comparison, champions Napoli managed only 59. Many were curious about how the Nerazzurri attack would look under their new Romanian coach, Cristian Chivu. The debut went smoothly: a 5:0 demolition of Torino showed that the forward duo of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez remains a huge threat to any opponent. The only concern is that the squad lacks proper replacements for these strikers. The big question is whether Inter can endure a demanding season, including the Champions League, relying on just two top forwards.

Udinese

Kosta Runjaić’s squad does not feature any star players of similar caliber, so the German coach faces far more modest objectives. Competing for European spots is highly unlikely. The club’s management is not investing in top-level players, meaning the Little Zebras will again fight for mid-table positions, occasionally trying to spoil the mood of Serie A favorites.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Since 2022, the teams have played eight head-to-head matches. Inter dominates the record with 7 wins to 1. In only one of those games did the Milan side score fewer than two goals against Udinese.

Prediction

For years, Udinese has been a straightforward opponent for Inter. Given the current form of the Nerazzurri attack, another convincing home victory should be expected. The recommended bet is on Inter’s individual total over 2 goals at odds of 1.72.
