Inter Milan vs. Barcelona: Preview and betting tips

The highlight of Tuesday’s Champions League programme will be Inter Milan’s clash with Barcelona, a direct battle for second place in the group. The visitors are the slight favourites. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Inter have not had a good start to the season at all. In the Champions League, they have only three points after two rounds with a win against Plzen, and in Serie A they fell to AS Roma at the weekend and dropped to ninth place. They are already five points behind the top four, which guarantees the Champions League.

Barcelona also have three points in the Champions League, but in any case they played an even game with Bayern. In La Liga, they topped the table at the weekend, a point ahead of Real Madrid, who drew at home to Osasuna.

Edin Džeko is still operating in the home side’s attack, with the Bosnian striker scoring twice and assisting three times so far. Italian international Nicolò Barella, already one of Milan’s mainstays after three years at the club, has the same record.

Robert Lewandowski is enjoying a dream start to his Barcelona engagement, scoring twelve goals and assisting two. The French international has scored twice and assisted four times.

Inter have struggled unexpectedly at home, losing two of their last three games at the San Siro, scoring only twice.

Moreover, Barcelona doesn’t score too much, in the last seven games they have only got more than one goal from Bayern and kept a clean sheet a couple of times.

Considering the form of Barcelona’s defence and the great cooperation between Lewandowski and Dembele, I think the visitors will win.
