Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich
Wolfgang Shotten; European Football Correspondent at BettingTips4You
AC Milan to Win and Under 2.5 Goals
| |
4/1 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Milan’s improved form and solid defence make them favourites against a goal-shy Bologna side, whose recent away struggles and cup distractions could prove costly.
| |
Key Stats:
- Inter Milan have triumphed in 19 of their last 23 home games this season.
- The Nerazzurri boast a perfect record in the Champions League at the San Siro this term.
- Bayern Munich have been beaten in three of their six European away fixtures this campaign.
Rationale
There’s a sense of inevitability when Inter Milan take to the pitch at San Siro under the lights, particularly in Europe, where they’ve turned their home into a fortress. The Italian champions are carrying a slender but crucial advantage into this return leg against Bayern Munich, having edged the first clash 2-1 in Germany. That result not only demonstrated Inter’s cutting edge but exposed Bayern’s defensive shortcomings – something the Nerazzurri are poised to exploit again on Wednesday.
Inter’s domestic and continental form on home soil has been nothing short of dominant. They’ve emerged victorious in all five of their Champions League games at home this season, overcoming elite opposition including Arsenal, RB Leipzig, and Feyenoord. The numbers are overwhelming: 19 wins from 23 at San Siro across all competitions, and just four matches without a win.
In contrast, Bayern have struggled away from home in Europe this term, suffering defeats in three of their six travels. With injuries thinning their defensive options, they’ve looked especially fragile at the back. Against a confident, structured and goal-hungry Inter, they face an uphill battle.
One man who epitomises Inter’s attacking strength at home is Hakan Calhanoglu. The Turkish playmaker has scored in three of their last five Champions League home fixtures, and his role as both creator and finisher makes him a dangerous presence around the area. He’s netted seven of his ten goals this season in Milan, including in the recent Milan derby. With the visitors forced to push forward, spaces will open up – and Calhanoglu is adept at exploiting exactly that.
Expect Inter to control the tempo, absorb pressure, and strike clinically, with Calhanoglu likely to play a central role again. Bayern might score, but Inter’s organisation and composure give them the edge to finish the job in front of their supporters.
Best bet – Hakan Calhanoglu to Score Anytime
