Each team's starting lineup from their previous match is listed.
Inter
The Milan side starts from the Round of 16 as a top-eight finisher in the previous Serie A season. Last season, Inter was eliminated at this stage, losing to Bologna at home (0-0, extra time 1-2). Notably, Inter has won the Coppa Italia nine times, with six trophies secured this century, including two in 2022 and 2023. Only Juventus has more victories in the Coppa Italia (15).
- No more than three goals have been scored in regular time in Inter's last six matches in this tournament.
- The team is unbeaten in 90 minutes over their last 12 Coppa Italia matches (5 wins and 7 draws).
- Inter has not conceded in the first half in 12 of their last 13 games in this tournament.
Udinese
The club has already played two matches in the current Coppa Italia, having started earlier due to finishing 15th in the previous league season. Costa Runjaic's side easily defeated Avellino (4-0) and Salernitana (3-1) at home. Last season, Udinese was knocked out in the Round of 32, losing to Cagliari at home (1-1, extra time 0-1).
- Udinese has not lost in 90 minutes in 10 of their last 11 matches in this tournament (7 wins and 3 draws).
- At least three goals have been scored in regular time in 7 of Udinese's last 9 Coppa Italia games.
- The team has not won in 90 minutes in their last six away matches in this tournament (2 draws and 4 losses).
Inter vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
Udinese typically does not achieve significant success in the Coppa Italia, despite often benefiting from favorable draws that allow them to play at home. In away matches in this tournament over the last 10 years, Udinese has played only six times, never winning in regular time or advancing further. Inter has not lost in 90 minutes in this tournament since February 2021. I am confident they will easily advance past their first cup stage.
I believe Inter will score at least two goals. They have scored this number in 15 of their last 21 home Serie A matches. Additionally, in their last 20 league encounters, Inter has won 16 times (2 draws and 2 losses). Inter has scored at least two goals in 7 of their last 8 Serie A meetings against Udinese. At home, Inter has won all six of their last league encounters, with at least a two-goal margin in the last four.
