Bayern Munich aims to finish the group stage of the UEFA Champions League with a perfect record, and to do so, the German champion must beat Inter Milan on Tuesday. These two European powerhouses had tons of important games throughout their past, with the UCL finals in Madrid back in 2010 being the most important. Inter is second in the standings, and Nerazzurri are safe and sound at that place, without the possibility of going up or down. Simone Inzaghi’s crew significantly improved over the past few weeks, and plays solid football.
Preview
Bayern Munich (-195) has six wins in a row, eight in the recent nine events. They have been pounding any club that stood in their way, and the latest matchup was in the Bundesliga on Saturday, once the Bavarians ripped Mainz 6-2. Previously, Nagelsmann’s unit beat Barcelona 0-3 in Spain.
In those six wins, Bayern’s goal difference is 25 scored and six goals allowed, with three clean sheets included. In all of these events, the Germans netted at least twice.
As for the games at home, Bayern’s confidence is even greater, with them beating the past five opponents with a total goal difference of 22-2 and four clean sheets. The Bavarians have found their rhythm and, for the moment, look pretty fast and furious.
Inter Milan (+550) has been another team since the start of October. They have seven games without a loss, winning six of them and recording a draw in Barcelona that secured them a place in the knockout stage of the UCL.
The Italians could have won that game at Camp Nou as well, but one point ended up being valuable as three. Other than that, Inter posted six triumphs, scoring two or more goals in all but one of them.
We’ve seen them scoring 11 goals throughout the past three events, beating Fiorentina, Plzen, and Sampdoria. The attack is in phenomenal shape, and even Romelu Lukaku came back and scored against Plzen.
Latest News
Bayern won’t have Neuer, Muller, Sane, Sarr and Hernandez, because Nagelesmann doesn’t want to risk anything in a game that doesn’t have a competitive meaning.
Brozovic and Dalber are out for Inter, and we expect to see Lukaku in the starting lineup, because the Belgian player seems fit and wants to play a few games before the start of the World Cup.
Head to Head
Bayern easily defeated Inter in Milan, 0-2, having one pretty routine performance. Inter couldn’t respond to Bayern’s challenges, and that victory was clear.
Overall, in eight meetings between these two sides, the record is close, with Bayern having four wins, one draw and Inter winning on three occasions, and a goal-difference of 11-9 in favor of the Germans.
Prediction
With or without a mixed lineup, Bayern will win this event, and that is our first pick for this game. The second would be three or more goals, because all of the games at Allianz are efficient and provide high efficiency. Nagelsmann might rest some of the guys, but their replacements are hungry for goals and wins, which should intensify this event.
Pick: Bayern wins -195
