All the stats you need to know before the Nerazzurri play their 35th Serie A fixture of the season at the Dacia Arena on Saturday evening


MILAN – Inter will take to the pitch at 20:30 CEST on Saturday 4 May, when they’ll play Udinese in their 35th Serie A fixture of the season. In collaboration with Opta, we’ve put together all the facts and figures you need to know ahead of kick-off.

Saturday’s match will be the 92nd meeting between Udinese and Inter in Serie A. So far, the Nerazzurri have recorded 45 wins, while the Bionconeri have emerged victorious 21 times. There have been 25 draws between the sides. Inter have won seven of the last eight games played between the teams. The Nerazzurri’s recent goalscoring record against the Friulani is impressive too: not only have Inter scored for nine successive games against the side from Udine, they’ve also found the back of the net 23 times during these encounters – an average of 2.6 goals per match. Udinese are the team Inter have scored the most against since the 2014/15 league season.

Inter and Udinese have only drawn once in their last 21 games in Serie A (14 wins for Inter, six for Udinese). This was a 0-0 stalemate in March 2014.

As regards the matches played in Udine, the Friulani have only emerged victorious on 11 occasions in 45 matches against Inter in Serie A. There have been 20 wins for the Nerazzurri and 14 draws. Inter have won the last five meetings between the sides at the Bianconeri’s home in Serie A, scoring an average of three goals per match and also keeping three clean sheets in the process.

Udinese’s current home form is good: the Friulani haven’t lost for six league games in Udine (four wins and two draws). However, Inter are playing confidently on the road: they’ve scored the first goal in three of their last five away matches in Serie A. The Nerazzurri’s most recent five games on the road have been entertaining too: an average of 4.4 goals per game have been scored.

Inter have found the back of the net 21 times during the second half of the season. 13 of these goals have been scored by midfielders. The Nerazzurri are the team that percentage-wise have netted the most in the last 15 minutes of games this season: 33% of Inter’s goals (17 out of a total of 52) have come in the last quarter of an hour. Inter are the side that have conceded the fewest goals from open play this season – another fact that underlines the solidity of Spalletti’s men.

Inter have four players on their books who played for Udinese. Samir Handanovic made 182 appearances for the Friulani in Serie A. Kwadwo Asamoah started out in Italy at Udinese, where scored eight times in 114 matches. Antonio Candreva and Daniele Padelli had much shorter stints in Udine. The former made his Serie A debut in the 2007/2008 season while playing for the Friulani and played three times in total, while the latter made nine appearances in the 2012/2013 season.

Luciano Spalletti also someone who spent time at the Bianconeri. In 116 games on the Udinese bench between 2001 and 2005, his record was as follows: 47 wins, 34 draws and 35 defeats.

Only Hans Hateboer and Aleksandar Kolarov (both ten) have contributed to more goals than Danilo D’Ambrosio (seven) out of all the defenders playing in Serie A this season.

In his last eight Serie A games played as a starter, Radja Nainggolan has played a part in six goals (he’s scored three times and produced three assists).

Samir Handanovic is the goalkeeper who has kept clean sheets in the most matches over 90 minutes this season: he hasn’t conceded on 15 occasions. His record number of clean sheets over the course of a single Serie A season is 17, something which he achieved in 2011/12 and 2017/18.
