Inter vs Bayern: Prediction, head-to-head, team news, possible lineups, and betting tips

The closest tie in the Champions League quarter-final will see Bayern Munich try to overturn a one-goal deficit away at Inter Milan. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.

Bayern Munich were left to rue the many chances they missed in the first leg at the Allianz Arena, as they were stunned by Inter late in the game.

After Harry Kane hit the post in the first half, Lautaro Martinez showed him how it’s done with a sublime trivela finish at the other end off a Marcus Thuram layoff.

The Bavarians restored parity via veteran forward Thomas Muller in the 85th minute, but they were made to pay once again as Davide Frattesi finished off a great team move to stun the German side.

A one-goal deficit does not look insurmountable, especially for a side boasting such attacking qualities like Bayern, but against an Inter defence that has mostly looked impenetrable, the Germans cannot afford to not be clinical in front of goal.

However, this seems to be an issue they are dealing with right now, having converted just two of 11 shots on goal, while conceding two from three faced against Borussia Dortmund in a 2-2 league draw at the weekend.

The German side have now scored just three goals from their 18 shots on target over the games against Inter and Dortmund, while they have conceded four from seven in that time.

Meanwhile, Inter easily dispatched Cagliari in their Serie A fixture last weekend, extending their lead at the top to six points.

Both teams have faced each other eight times before in UCL play, with Bayern winning four times, while Inter has won three, and there has been one draw. 

However, Bayern have won all four of their away games against Inter in European competitions, including all three in the UCL, not conceding a single goal across those matches while scoring five.

However, Inter are unbeaten in their last 14 home matches in the UCL, which is now the current longest run after they ended Bayern’s 22-match home streak last time out.

Inter vs Bayern Predictions & Betting Tips

Bayern will head into this game feeling like they can pull a comeback. Creativity has never been the issue for the Bavarians, but putting those chances. 

Against an inter side that will likely not give them as many opportunities as the first leg, this becomes a bigger problem. We expect Inter to go through, with the game likely ending in a draw.
