2026-2027 Serie A: Inter vs. Udinese, Probable Lineups

Inter vs. Udinese is the final Monday night match of the fourth round of Serie A, scheduled for 8:45 p.m. at San Siro. The Nerazzurri are aiming for their fourth straight win to maintain a perfect record and stay atop the standings; furthermore, Chivu’s team needs to bounce back from their bitter defeat in Madrid against Real Madrid. The Friulians lost at home to Lazio on the last matchday, but in their only road game, they pulled off a big win in Monza.

Martinez is confirmed in goal, while Stones is a new addition to the defense and is expected to play alongside Akanji and Bastoni. In midfield, Chivu is relying on Barella, Calhanoglu, and Zielinski, while Diouf and Carlos Augusto will play on the wings, with Dimarco likely to start on the bench. Up front alongside Lautaro Martinez will be either Thuram or Pio Esposito.

Runjiaic is still without Zaniolo; up front alongside Davis are Bayo and Ekkelenkamp. In midfield, Miller partners with Karlstrom, while Vojvoda and Kamara play on the wings.

At a press conference, Chivu took stock of his team’s situation: “We’re focusing on the principles we want to build upon, without losing the confidence and awareness of the good work we did against Napoli and Real Madrid. I view those two matches together, because we expended a lot mentally against Napoli, and then, just 72 hours later, we went to the Bernabéu. Only a few weeks have passed since the start of the season, but I’m seeing some promising signs.”
