Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Udinese
Buoyed by a splendid 5-0 win over Torino, Inter will be aiming to retain top position in the Serie A standings when they take on Udinese on Matchday 2. The Nerazzurri looked sharp up front at the weekend and we predict that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against the Zebrette. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Lautaro Martinez, who opened his goal-scoring account against Il Toro.
The good news for the hosts is that both Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Pio Esposito are back from suspension. Udinese, on the other hand, played out a slim 1-1 draw with Verona in the opening match of their Serie A campaign. The Zebrette, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given their eight-game losing run at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in all competitions, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Milano.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Udinese):
Udinese Calcio was founded in 1986 as a part of the Societa Udinesedi Ginnastica. Until the season 1929 the club from Udine was playing in the regional divisions of Italy. In the year 1929 the club was allowed to participate in the Serie B (second highest Italian football division). In 1950 Udinese managed to reach the Serie A. After 5 years the club got downgraded back to the Serie A. After a hectic period Udinese managed to stay in the Serie A since 1995. The best performance of Udinese was in the season 1954/1955 where the club from Udine managed to end second on the table.
The only prizes that Udinese won are the Serie B title, Serie C title and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Currently Udinese is playing their games in the Stadio Friuli. The most known nicknames for the club are Bianconeri and Zebrette.
Some very known players have ever played for Udinese such as: Bierhoff, Amoroso, Di Natale, Alexis SAnhez and Dino Zoff.
