An in-form Inter look to maintain their perfect domestic record when they take on Udinese on Monday evening.
Cristian Chivu's champions have taken nine points from their opening three matches, while Udinese sit tenth after collecting four points.
Inter suffered a UCL an unfortunate reversal against Real Madrid during the week, but their impressive league form and dominant recent record in this fixture make the hosts strong favourites to claim the points at the San Siro.

Serie A
Inter and Udinese have met on 13 occasions in competitive fixtures since 2020. Inter claimed ten victories, while Udinese won twice. One match finished level.
The Serie A champions eased to a 1:0 win in Udine in their most recent encounter last January.
Inter team overview
Inter come into Monday’s Serie A contest looking to bounce back to winning form after a 2:1 Champions League defeat against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Kylian Mbappe and Federico Valverde punished some dreadful Inter mistakes to go 2:0 up before Carlos Augusto pulled one back for the Italian champions.
Despite the result, Chivu's side produced an encouraging display, dominating possession and creating enough opportunities to take at least a point from the Bernabeu.
Domestically, Inter have made a flawless start to their Serie A title defence. Victories against Monza, Cagliari and Napoli leave the Nerazzurri second on goal difference with nine points.
Last weekend's 3:2 victory against Napoli underlined their resilience. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram helped Inter recover from two goals down before Martinez struck a remarkable late winner.
The in-form hosts have now won ten of their last 14 competitive matches since the end of last season. Over a longer period, Inter had avoided defeat in 20 successive fixtures before their narrow defeat in Madrid.
Head coach Chivu has a strong squad available this week. Federico Dimarco and Djed Spence are the only injury worries for the home side.
Piotr Zielinski and Andy Diouf are among those pushing for recalls after Tuesday's European contest.

Udinese team overview
Udinese travel to Milan after slipping to their first defeat of the season against Lazio on Monday.
Jesper Karlstrom put the Friulani ahead, but Davide Frattesi and Albert Gudmundsson completed a 2:1 comeback victory for the Romans.
Kosta Runjaic's men collected four points from their first two matches, drawing with Como before securing a 3:2 victory at Monza.
On the road, Udinese proved hit or miss last season, winning eight and losing eight of 19 away Serie A matches. The Udine-based side did claim a shock 2:1 win against Inter on their last visit to the San Siro in August 2025.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent in recent meetings between these sides. At least three goals were scored in eight of nine Serie A contests since 2022. Udinese’s last three games also finished with over 2.5 goals scored.
Head coach Runjaic has a half-a-dozen potential absentees this week. Nicolo Zaniolo, Jakub Piotrowski, Juan Arizala and Matteo Palma are expected to remain unavailable. Oumar Solet and Alessandro Zanoli will require late fitness checks.

Prediction
Inter have made an excellent start to their title defence and should respond positively to Tuesday's narrow defeat in Madrid.
Udinese have enough quality to make it competitive, but I expect the hosts to have the edge in a potentially high-scoring contest.
I have my stake on Inter to win with over 2.5 goals scored.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Inter to Win/Over 2.5 Goals
- Inter won 10 of their last 12 matches against Udinese
- Inter have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches against Udinese (Serie A)
- Udinese have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches
