Inter v Barcelona Prediction – Preview
F.C. Internazionale Milan
Inter Milan are currently third in Group C, tallying one win and one loss for a total of 3 points. They also have a goal difference of 0 (2 scored, 2 conceded). In their last UCL game, they saw off Viktoria Plzen 2-0 at the Doosan Arena. Edin Dzeko slotted home at just 20 minutes. Pavel Bucha then slid into Nicolo Barella and was sent off after a VAR check, reducing the Czech side to 10 men. Denzel Dumfries then sealed the win for the Nerazzurri with 20 minutes to play, finishing after a quick break. Simone Inzaghi’s side, however, are struggling domestically, as they are 9th in the Serie A. They gave up an early lead to Roma, 1-2, with Federico Dimarco opening the scoring and the visitors rallying back with Paulo Dybala and Chris Smalling’s shots. Can they recover their poise against a newly-rebuilt Barca side?
Inter have won only two of their 14 European games against Barcelona (D4 L8), a 2-1 win in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in January 1970, and a 3-1 win in the UCL in April 2010.
The Nerazzurri have lost 6 UCL games against Barca, their most against one team. The Blaugrana, meanwhile have just beaten Celtic (8) more times in the tournament.
F.C. Barcelona
Barcelona are currently second in Group C with also one win and one loss (3 points total). They only lead Inter on goal difference (2 GD resulting from 5 goals scored and 3 conceded). After thrashing Viktoria Plzen 5-1 in the opener, they were blanked by Bayern Munich 0-2 at the Allianz Arena. Keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was unable to prevent Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane’s goals scored in succession after the half-time break. Domestically, however, Xavi’s side has excelled: they are back on top of LaLiga after two years. They scored back-to-back victories against Elche (3-0) and Mallorca (1-0), with talisman Robert Lewandowski netting thrice across all competitions. Could the Blaugrana make it three in a row with an away victory at the San Siro?
Barcelona’s 2 away victories against Inter Milan have been separated by 60 years, winning 4-2 in the Fairs Cup in September 1959, plus 2-1 in the UCL in December 2019.
Barca have lost 3 last the last 4 away UCL group stage games (W1) which is as many in the last 25 such matches (W15 D7). Xavi is just the 2nd manager to lost the 1st 2 away UCL games in charge of Barca, together with Louis van Gaal in 1997.
