For each team, the starting lineup from their previous match is listed.
Inter
The Milanese side starts from the Round of 16 in this tournament due to their victory in the previous championship. In the last Coppa Italia, the club was halted at this stage, losing at home to Bologna (0-0, extra time 1-2). Notably, Inter has won this tournament nine times, with six trophies secured this century, including two in 2022 and 2023. Only Juventus has more Coppa Italia wins (15).
- No more than three goals have been scored in regular time in Inter's last six matches in this tournament.
- The club has not lost in regular time for 12 matches in the Coppa Italia (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 finished only 15th in the previous championship. Costa Runjaic's side easily overcame Avellino (4-0) and Salernitana (3-1) at home. Last season, Udinese was stopped at the Round of 32, losing at home to Cagliari (1-1, extra time 0-1).
- The Udine club has not lost in regular time 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 games in the Coppa Italia.
- The team has not won in regular time in six consecutive away matches in this tournament (2 draws and 4 losses).
Inter vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
Udinese typically does not achieve much in the Coppa Italia, especially considering they mostly host opponents at home. In this tournament, the club has played only six away matches in the last 10 years and has never won in regular time. Meanwhile, the Milanese have not lost in regular time in this tournament since February 2021. I am confident the hosts will advance easily.
I also believe Inter will score at least two goals. They have scored this number in 15 of their last 21 home matches in Serie A. Furthermore, Inter has scored at least two goals in 7 of their last 8 head-to-head encounters with Udinese in Serie A. On home turf, Inter has won all six of their last league meetings, with four of those victories by a margin of two or more goals.
My prediction: Inter individual total over 2 goals
