Cristian Chivu’s side suffered their first defeat across all competitions in a narrow 2-1 loss to Real Madrid in their UEFA Champions League opener.
The defeat came after last weekend’s impressive win in Serie A, where they overturned a 2-0 deficit against Napoli to secure a thrilling 3-2 win.
That result kept Inter Milan within touching distance of Roma and took their league goal tally to eight after three rounds.
It also extended their unbeaten home run in the competition to 14 matches, comprising 11 wins and three draws.
Udinese, meanwhile, have collected four points from their opening three matches after recording one win, one draw and one defeat.
Their unbeaten beginning came to an end last time out when they were beaten 2-1 by Lazio at the Bluenergy Stadium.
The Friulani have been considerably more effective on the road, however, winning four of their last six Serie A away fixtures while drawing one and losing one.
In each of those four victories, Udinese scored at least twice, highlighting the attacking threat they can carry away from home.
After beginning their current away campaign with a victory, Udinese will attempt to make it two wins from their opening two road games.
