Champions League: Inter Milan @ Barcelona

What will be the match result?

Inter Milan: Win or Draw

@ Barcelona: Win

 

Current odds:

Inter Milan: Win or Draw: (+137)

Barcelona: Win: (-182)

 

Barcelona have won back-to-back matches for the first time all season. The Spanish side have been forced to navigate through the early months of the season without Lionel Messi on a regular basis and his absence on Wednesday would be a huge blow for Ernesto Valverde’s side.

Inter have only failed to win one of their first seven matches in all competitions and that was a 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Champions League last week. Antonio Conte has made a brilliant start to life at Inter but his record in Europe is not great. Conte has only overseen nine wins in 24 matches in the Champions League.

Barcelona are expected to win every game they play, even more so at home, but the absence of Messi and their struggles so far this season certainly make this a tough match to call. Conte’s record in Europe should also be considered ahead of Wednesday’s intriguing match up.
