Udinese vs. Inter, the complete guide

At 20:45 CEST on Monday 8 April, Inter will face Udinese on matchday 31 in Serie A. Ahead of the clash, we delve into some fun facts and stats.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Inter have faced Udinese 101 times in Serie A: the Nerazzurri have 52 wins to their name compared to the Bianconeri's 22, with 27 draws completing the picture. Inter have won five of their last six matches against Udinese in Serie A, averaging almost three goals per game in the process (17, with just six conceded). In the reverse fixture, Inzaghi's men hit four past the Friulani at San Siro thanks to goals from Calhanoglu, Dimarco, Thuram and Lautaro.

DIMARCO'S ATTACKING CONTRIBUTION

The Nerazzurri No.32 continues to make his mark at the attacking end of the pitch. In finding the net in the team's last outing, Federico Dimarco equalled his personal scoring record in a single Serie A season (five, a tally he also previously achieved with Hellas Verona in 2020/21). The Italian has now contributed to a total of eleven goals in the Italian top flight since the start of the current campaign (five goals and six assists), at least three more than any other defender.

BASTONI'S ASSISTS

Head up and pick a pass. Alessandro Bastoni has provided an assist in each of his last three league appearances and could become the first defender to set up a teammate to score in four consecutive Serie A matches.

SANCHEZ STARRING

Alexis Sánchez is in excellent form: the Chilean has contributed to five goals in his last six Serie A appearances, scoring twice and providing three assists. For him, matches against Udinese are always special: his debut in the Italian top flight arrived when he was at the Friulani.

SOMMER IN THE TOP 3

Reliability, charisma and focus: Yann Sommer has kept 17 clean sheets in the league this season. Since the start of the three-points-per-win era, only two non-Italian goalkeepers have done better than this in a single Serie A campaign: Pepe Reina (18 in 2017/18 with Napoli) and Sebastian Frey (19 in 2006/07 with Fiorentina).
