Ah, the age-old affair between Inter and Udinese is ready to get underway yet again. Inter, stroking a consistent winning record in recent history, has had success against Udinese in past matchups. It's almost like they've bookmarked a recipe for victory in this fixture.

Backstopping Inter in goal, we're gazing upon Yann Sommer and Josep Martínez. Sommer, registering a respectable 7.10 rating with 3 saves, and Martínez, matching his consistency with a rating of 7.05 and 6 saves. On the contrary, Udinese cages its net guarded by Daniele Padelli, delivering with a 7.50 rating and 3 saves, followed by Maduka Okoye, absorbing shots with a rating of 6.85 and 5 saves.

Making waves for Udinese on the field, we focus on Florian Thauvin, producing a 7.85 rating, two goals, and 6 shots on goal, along with Oumar Solet, impressing with a 7.57 rating with an accurate pass percentage of 95.2%. Jaka Bijol, isn't just a name you'd enjoy on a scrabble board, he's also notable with a 7.33 rating.

On Inter's half of the pitch, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, with a 7.83 rating, a goal, and 3 shots on goal, is as magnetic as his namesake suggests. Francesco Acerbi, oozing efficiency with a 7.57 rating and a 91.1% accurate pass percentage, and Carlos Augusto, boasting a 7.50 rating and a goal, also solidify a formidable lineup for Inter.

Inter's been the pick of the litter in recent games, going against the grain with a series of wins while Udinese has had its ups and downs. The regular season records favor Inter with 19 wins against Udinese's 11. The past is a fine predictor of the future they say, and if history repeats itself, Inter might have an upper hand here.

So grab some popcorn, place your bets (let's pretend I didn't say that), and brace yourselves for another thrilling display of Serie A action. Now onto my prediction which, I assure you, came to me in a vision not unlike a modern-day Nostradamus, only with more hair and significantly less credibility.
