Inter Milan XI vs Udinese – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Inter Milan are set to take on Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium this Saturday afternoon.

The Nerazzurri aim to widen their lead over second-placed AC Milan, who trail them by just three points.

Under Cristian Chivu, Inter are leading the league standings. They’ve claimed victory in seven of their past eight Serie A outings, the sole exception being a 2-2 stalemate with reigning champions Napoli on January 12.

With 46 points after 20 games, they sit comfortably at the top. Following that Napoli draw, Inter bounced back strongly, securing a 1-0 win against Lecce in their most recent outing.

Inter Milan team news

Chivu confronts some lineup dilemmas for this clash. Hakan Calhanoglu picked up a calf injury in the Napoli draw and is questionable, while Josep Martinez and Denzel Dumfries are still sidelined by ankle problems. Tomas Palacios might also sit out over fitness worries.

Even with those issues, Inter’s forward line remains potent, led by skipper Lautaro Martinez’s impressive run—he’s bagged ten league goals this term, though he’s gone scoreless in his last three Serie A games.

Facing a packed schedule, Chivu could freshen things up ahead of next week’s Champions League battle with Arsenal.

Inter Milan predicted lineup

Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Sucic, Dimarco; Martinez, Esposito.

When will the match kick off?

The match will kick off at 2pm BST on Saturday, 17th January.
