Real Madrid vs Inter Prediction & Betting tips
Real Madrid will face Inter Milan in a blockbuster opening-week clash of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. This heavy-weight opener at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu marks a compelling narrative as José Mourinho, now managing Real Madrid, faces the Italian club he famously led to a historic treble in 2010. Both teams come into this opening fixture seeking a statement win to kickstart their European campaign. Real Madrid are looking for a quick response after stumbling domestically with a 1–0 away loss to Real Betis in La Liga. Meanwhile, Inter Milan, led by Cristian Chivu, arrive in Madrid full of confidence following a thrilling 3–2 Serie A victory over Napoli.
Real Madrid:
The hosts are facing a minor squad depth crisis. While their first-choice spine featuring Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham remains fully fit and available, they will be missing key players like Aurelien Tchouameni, Rodrygo, Eder Militao, and Ferland Mendy due to injuries.
Predicted Real Madrid XI: Thibaut Courtois – Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella – Federico Valverde, Ousmane Diomande, Brahim Díaz, Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior – Kylian Mbappé
Inter:
The visitors have a largely healthy squad. Aside from long-term absentee Valentin Carboni, Cristian Chivu has a full deck of options, with Lautaro Martínez expected to spearhead the attack alongside youngster Francesco Pio Esposito.
Predicted Inter XI: Josep Martínez – Yann Aurel Bisseck, Manuel Akanji, Alessandro Bastoni – Andy Diouf, Nicolò Barella, Piotr Zieliński, Petar Sučić, Federico Dimarco – Francesco Pio Esposito, Lautaro Martínez
