Udinese vs Inter 5/1/22 Serie A Soccer Pick, Predictions, Odds

Udinese is hosting Inter at Dacia Arena in round 35 of the Italian Serie A. Udinese is in fantastic form right now, they have smoked Fiorentina, and with that, they have gained even more distance from the relegation zone. Inter has lost their last game, they failed to catch up to Milan, but they still have the easier schedule.

Udinese has lost only 1 of their last 6 games, while their latest win against Fiorentina was impressive. Thanks to this nice streak, Udinese is now in 12^th place with 43 points. Offensively, Udinese has improved a lot, they have scored 53 goals, but their defense has remained bad, and Udinese has conceded 52 goals so far this season. Deulofeu is the leading goalscorer for Udinese with 12 goals and 6 assists, while Beto has added 11 goals, but he is injured. We know Udinese is a talented team, at least in the attacking end, and that offense is finally coming to light, but if they could do something with their defense, that would be great. Udinese will stay in the league, and maybe if they start the next season better than this one, they might be close to Europe.

Inter was on an amazing streak before their last game, everything was going their way, the title was in their hands as they have an easier schedule than Milan, but then Inter lost to Bologna. Inter was dominant in that game, they had a bunch of shots, they have chances, but they were able to score only 1 goal. Inter is still in the title race, but they have made their job a lot harder. Martinez is still the leading goalscorer for Inter with 16 goals, while Dzeko has added 13 goals. Calhanoglu and Barella have added 10 assists each. I’m not sure why Inter’s backup goalkeeper was between the posts in that game against Bologna as Handanovic was on the roster, but that has cost them a lot. Inter is also going to play in the Coppa Italia finals against Juventus, and I would say they are the favorites to win that competition. Inter has won the title last season, they still have a chance to win it this season, but it won’t be easy.

Udinese has been solid at home this season, while Inter has only 2 losses on the road so far. Inter is the better and deeper team here, but Udinese is in amazing form, and they are at home here. I think there is some value in Udinese, but I will take goals.
