Inter - Udinese
Inter seek stability as Udinese visit Giuseppe Meazza
Inter host Udinese at Giuseppe Meazza on 14 September 2026 for this Serie A matchday 4 encounter, looking to recover from a narrow Champions League defeat. The expected XI for the hosts features a defensive trio of Alessandro Bastoni, John Stones, and Manuel Akanji, with Piotr Zielinski and Hakan Calhanoglu anchoring the midfield. Despite the absence of Federico Dimarco, the attacking partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Pio Esposito remains a potent threat. Inter enter the fixture following a high-scoring 3-2 victory over SSC Napoli, demonstrating their ability to find the net consistently.
Udinese arrive having suffered a 1-2 loss against Lazio, though they previously secured a league win over Monza. With Oumar Solet and Jakub Piotrowski sidelined, the visitors will rely on the midfield work of Unai Gomez and Jurgen Ekkelenkamp to disrupt Inter's rhythm. Their last league meeting in January 2026 ended in a 1-0 win for Inter, a result they will aim to replicate to maintain their momentum in the early stages of the season.
