The bookmakers have Inter as favorites as they are higher in the table, are at home, and have a healthy advantage of Udinese in the head to head battle. But be wary because of Inter's inconsistency this season!
Caretaker boss Stefano Vecchi will be missing center back Miranda, left back Cristian Ansaldi, and striker/captain Mauro Icardi due to injuries.
One area that might just be pinpointed by a new manager as an area that needs improvement is the front line. Outside of Perisic and captain Icardi, they have little help there. In fact, Italian converted winger Eder has been stationed there in the captain's absence. He has six goals in 32 matches, but that's far too little if Inter are truly going to get back to the heights that they were used to back in the last decade or so. Eder could just be playing for his job at Inter Milan in this match, so a performance from him is desperately needed- for his own sake.
Inter Milan have a win and four losses in their last five matches. A 5-4 away defeat to Fiorentina came before a 0-1 loss at home to Napoli and then a loss by the same score away to Genoa. They then lost again at the San Siro to Sassuolo 1-2 before getting an away win over Lazio last weekend 1-3.

Forwards:Eder
Luigi Delneri will be unable to call upon center back Samir, right midfielder Davide Faraoni, or center midfielders Assane Gnoukouri and Seko Fofana due to injuries. Goalkeeper Samuele Perisan has been called up to the Italian u-20 squad, and center back Danilo and right winger Rodrigo de Paul will miss out with suspensions stemming from red cards last week.
French striker Cyril Thereau, now 34 years old, is no stranger to scoring goals. He's made a career out of it at the likes of Anderlecht and Chievo in the past, and he's done it at Udinese this season. He was red hot through the early to middle rounds, but he has since cooled a little bit. However, he scored a goal last week before his teammates lost their heads. That marked his 12th goal of the season, an impressive total for an aging star on an average side.
Udinese have two draws, two losses, and a win in their last five matches. A 2-1 home win over Cagliari came before a 4-0 away loss to Bologna. A 1-1 draw at home to Atalanta was followed by a 1-0 loss away to Crotone. Last weekend, they got a 1-1 home draw with Sampdoria.
