Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin will be without the services of striker Antonio Floro Flores and right-sided player Dusan Basta through injury.
Mehdi Benatia missed the 3-1 loss to Roma and will be sidelined for Saturday's encounter as well. Giampiero Pinzi is suspended and will likely be replaced by Michele Pazienza in midfield.
Meanwhile, Inter playmaker Wesley Sneijder is still nursing a groin injury and will not feature while Maicon has not yet recovered from his knee problem.
Luc Castaignos is dealing with a hamstring injury and will miss out on the festivities at the Friuli while Walter Samuel has been ruled out for three weeks due to a muscle problem.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
Udinese have picked up only one win in their last seven encounters (W1, D3, L3).
- The Zebrette have suffered only one loss in their 16 Serie A matches at the Stadio Friuli this season.
- Guidolin's men have been held scoreless four times in the past nine games.
- Inter are unbeaten (W2, D1) since Andrea Stramaccioni replaced Claudio Ranieri and have scored nine goals during that span.
- The Nerazzurri have secured only one win in their last six league matches away from San Siro.
- Inter have found the back of the net on just 16 occasions in 17 fixtures away from home.
Udinese are mired in a slump at the moment but are still a very tough nut to crack at home, while Inter have had problems on the road all season. This is a big match for both teams and they will each take a share of the spoils when everything is said and done at the Friuli.
