The nerazzurri are three points clear of second place rivals AC Milan, and they are hopeful to extend their lead on the rest of Serie A. Inter have played their last two games at home and are now preparing to travel to Udine.

A win for Inter would temporarily give them a six point lead ahead of their cross town rivals. However, tenth place Udinese stand in their way, as the I Bianconeri look to claw back points to Europe. As of right now they sit six points, behind seventh place Atalanta, and Udinese won’t go down without a fight.

This game will be the second game of the weekend, after Pisa managed a draw against Atalanta yesterday. The game in Udine will kickoff at 3pm local time, and the weather will be cold, but without rain.

Inter Milan will host Genoa today as they look to bounce back from a tough loss in the Champions League to Bodo Glimt. Bodo Glimt beat Inter over both legs including a 2-1 win at the San Siro. However, Inter are still firing winning all over their last five league matches.

Meanwhile Genoa are looking to build on a big win against Torino last weekend. This came after Genoa went winless in their last three Serie A games, including losses to Napoli and Lazio. But, travelling to the San Siro to play Inter Milan or AC Milan is always a hard task.

The last time these two sides faced off was on the 15th of December in Genoa. Inter came out flying in that game with Yann Aurel Bisseck and Lautaro Martinez scoring in the first half. Genoa would claw a goal back in a boring second half but it wouldn’t be enough to earn any points.

Yann Sommer

Yann Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, Manuel Akanji

Luís Henrique, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Piotr Zieliński, Petar Sučić, Carlos Augusto
