Inter in Udine to chase the records of Antonio Conte’s Juventus

MILANO — Dumfries on the right wing preferred to Darmian, Charles Augustus on the left side of the defense in place of the injured Bastoni, and for the rest the usual starters. This is the setup tested in training by Simone Inzaghiin view of the trip to Udine against the team of Gabriele Cioffi who, despite being fifteenth in the table, just two points away from the relegation zone, give their best against the big teams.

Rientra Arnautovic, fuori De Vrij

In addition to Bastoni, who is struggling with flexor fatigue, in Udine (this evening at 8.45pm on Dazn e Sky) shouldn’t even be there The freewho did not take part in training on Sunday, and Square, who must recover his athletic form after the Achilles tendon operation he underwent last December 20th. Instead, it becomes available again Arnautovic, who however will not start. The probable line-up at kick-off will therefore be made up of Pavard, Acerbi and Augusto, ahead of Sommer. On the flanks, Dumfries and Dimarco. Alongside Çalhanoglu, in midfield, Barella and Mkhitaryan. In attack, Lautaro and Thuram.

Towards the record of games with at least one goal

On the pitch in Udine, Inter find themselves responding to Milan, second with 11 points after the victory against Lecce. By winning, the Nerazzurri could keep alive the dream (of the fans, rather than of the manager and players) of playing for the scudetto in derby on April 22nd. By winning against Empoli a week ago, Inzaghi’s Inter has meanwhile equaled the record of Juventus Of Antonio Conte, who in the 2013/14 season scored at least one goal in each of the first 30 matchdays of the championship. With a goal in Udine, the Nerazzurri would overtake the Bianconeri, who lost to Napoli 2-0 ten years ago in the thirty-first minute, interrupting the series.

From points to defense, the possible records

There are also other records that Inter could equal or surpass between now and the end of the championship. First, the points. By winning all the remaining eight matches, Inzaghi’s team would close on 103, one point more than those collected by Conte’s Juve in 2014. Another record that can be reached is the lowest number of goals conceded in the 20-team championship: today Inter have conceded 14 and the record of 20 set by Juve in the 2011/12 and 2015/16 seasons does not seem unattainable. Finally, the away victories. Milan won 16 out of 18 in 2020/21. Inter have won 12 and still have five to play, including the derby, against Milan.
