Alessandro Bastoni will serve a one-game suspension against his former club, while star striker Lautaro Martinez may miss out, having recently withdrawn from the Argentina squad due to a hamstring injury.

Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski remain on the sidelines for the hosts, however, Simone Inzaghi's side will be boosted by the return of Matteo Darmian, Federico Dimarco and Nicola Zalewski.

As for the visitors, ex-Inter forward Alexis Sanchez will miss out, while Isaak Toure remains a long-term absentee.

Inter Milan vs Udinese Odds

Inter are 4/11 favourites for the game, giving them an implied winning probability of 73.3%, while the visitors can be backed at 8/1 and the draw is 18/5.

Both teams to score is available at 11/10 and over 2.5 goals is 4/5.

Inter Milan to win and both teams to score @ 23/10

Inter Milan return after the international break with a three-point lead over Napoli at the summit of Serie A and they should continue where they left off against Udinese.

Inzaghi's side claimed a vital 2-0 win over Atalanta prior to the two-week break, meaning that they've suffered only three defeats in 29 league outings this season.

The visitors could pose an attacking threat of their own, taking 13 points from a possible 15 across February and March, but they'll hoping to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Hellas Verona.

In addition, they've won just four of their 14 away games this term, so I'm expecting them to put up a fight at San Siro, but ultimately leave empty-handed.

Marcus Thuram to score anytime @ 11/8

With Martinez expected to be absent through injury, Inter's goalscoring burden will fall onto the shoulders of Marcus Thuram.

The striker has 13 Serie A goals this season, as well as three strikes in the Champions League, so he could be one to watch on Sunday.
