Inter vs Udinese Match preview

Italy - Serie A: Inter vs Udinese

Inter continued poor performance, after the undeserved win in Calabria, they were on the verge of losing in the Champions League against Anorthosis but they ended up saving a point. After the match Mourinho admitted that defense is not working, that some things must be changed as this is definitely not his idea of good performance. The optimistic ones claim that things will fall into place and that team's quality guarantees good performance sooner or later. Other think that the Portuguese coach doesn’t realize that calcio is very different from Premiership and that his tactical ideas are not doing well in Italy. Udinese continued their awesome run in UEFA Cup by the middle of the week and they arrive at Meazza on Sunday to continue it. Friuliani roared through Moscow and the match against Spartak was solved by Fabio Quagliarella, the player that is slowly reaching his full form. After the draw against Genoa last week, Udinese slipped from the first place but they are only one point behind Milan and they certainly won't be an easy rival for Inter.

Champions failed to win the last match at Meazza.

Outnumbered genoa managed to resist them without sent-off Juric. After this match but also after the draw with Fiorentina, Mourinho faced a barrage of criticism. Portuguese coach’s statements gained him many enemies in Italian football so everyone were eager to see more poor results. Anyway, Inter are not too far behind their rivals, a poit behind Milan and they are still ahead of Juventus so there is no reason for worries yet. They will have to change something as 4-3-3 formation the coach insists on is not giving results, perhaps because Cambiasso is injured and the reserves are out of form. Players like Quaresma and Mancini didn’t show the quality they were brought for; the attack comes down to Ibrahimovic and moving Adriano away from the team, as justified as it may be, weakened the offensive line. Cambiasso is back which is a big boost, however you can’t rely on only one player; if Inter doesn’t improve dramatically from what we saw in most of the games this season, they will have problems in handling Udinese.

Friuliani bursting with self-confidence

Our general preview of the season warned you that Udinese are the team that could join the title contention. This is a well composed team that have plenty of alternatives for each position in the team. Their strength is best testified by the fact that the injury of the best players and Italian international, Di Natale wasn’t felt at all. Coach Marino is not afraid of giving a chance to youngsters which is the policy of this club from north that have excellent scouting service. They have discovered many good players, especially in South America. This season Udinese played only one poor game, when they lost to Juventus in the second round. Last week they ran into inspired Genoa, the game ended winless and the hero of the game was home side keeper, Handanovic. If they repeat the performance from the Sunday game they could cause some additional problems to Inter's strikers.

Betting Verdict

We will try with a double chance on the visitors. Inter didn’t convince us in their good form and Neroazzuri traditionally have problems handling bianconeri. Udinese won’t back out on their 4-3-3 formation, Di Natale probably won’t play but that is not a reason for concern. Actually, Pepe, Floro Flores and Quagliarella function perfectly. Udinese have the system of play and one or two changes won’t disturb them. Anyway, you can see that in their defense where two key players Zapata and Felipe are absent. Although they can’t help, Udinese conceded only eight goals this season and they are the most efficient Serie A team at the moment. That is why you should support them with a double chance.
