Barcelona vs Inter Prediction & Betting tips
For Inter Milan are after the international break two top games on the program. After the derby della Madonnina now waiting on Wednesday the duel with FC Barcelona. The Catalans also played an intense game against Sevilla this weekend. The offensive was convincing and Marc-Andre ter Stegen has repeatedly held the victory. Downer was the injury of Lionel Messi. The superstar has broken his forearm and will fail for several weeks. Accordingly, he will also miss Wednesday in the match against Inter Milan. Nevertheless, the bookmakers favor the home team in the top match of Group B.
Barcelona:
Looking at the table in La Liga shows a familiar picture. FC Barcelona are at the top after nine rounds. However, the fact that they have already lost one game and only played draws in three games is astonishing. Particularly unusual were the draws against Athletic Bilbao and Girona in the native Camp Nou. This definitely shows the vulnerability in front of a native backdrop. Nevertheless, Barca is as usual in every game as a favorite against Inter on the court. Accordingly, bookmakers only offer betting odds of 1.50 in a win against Inter Milan. However, the injured list of the Spanish champion must certainly be considered. In the game last weekend against Sevilla, Captain Lionel Messi injured. The Argentinian also excelled on offense this season. In La Liga he has already scored seven goals and prepared five. Also in the premier class he was already five times successful. Accordingly, the injury-related absence of Messi against Inter Milan will be felt. Nevertheless, Barcelona has Suarez, Dembele and Coutinho.
Also on the defensive Ernesto Valverde Tejedor has a small problem. The two central defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Samuel Umtiti will not be available. Therefore, in addition to Pique in the defense is very likely to act – as in the game against Sevilla – the 23-year-old Clement Lenglet. In the last three home games with Lenglet in defense Barcelona conceded five goals! In general, the instability on the defensive becomes clear when it is considered that the Catalans have always received at least one goal in the last six games. So far, FC Barcelona have been without a clean sheet only in games against PSV, Valladolid and Alaves.
Inter Milan:
Inter Milan has become one of the best teams in Serie A again. After nine rounds, the Milanese stand out from third place and are only two points behind second-placed SSC Napoli. Inter conceded two defeats against Sassuolo and Parma. Since the defeat against the climber, the Nerazzurri shone but with seven wins in a row. Also in the Derby della Madonnina last weekend, the team of Luciano Spalletti secured a success. Mauro Icardi scored the decisive goal in the 92nd minute. The Italians travel to Barcelona with great confidence. The low point in the duel against AC Milan was the substitution of Radja Nainggolan after 30 minutes. The Belgian will probably miss in the duel with FC Barcelona due to injury. This would give the Milanese instability in midfield.
At Inter Milan, there is a lot to do with Mauro Icardi. For six seasons, the 25-year-old Argentinian is under contract with the Nerazzurri. He matured to lead and captain. In the crucial game against Lazio last season, he turned with his goal in the 78th minute of the game. Thus, the Milan qualified for the first time since the 2011/12 season directly for the group stage of the premier class. In the last four games Mauro Icardi scored five goals. Also against FC Barcelona, he will provide important impulses in the offensive. It remains to be seen whether that will be enough to beat Barcelona’s favorites Inter Milan despite the betting odds.
