Inter Milan v Bayern Munich Prediction & Best Bets

Wednesday | 19:00 UTC | San Siro | UEFA Champions League

Inter Milan host Bayern Munich at the San Siro on Wednesday night in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final, with the Italian champions holding a slender 2-1 advantage from the first leg in Munich.

Inter Milan Look to Finish the Job

Davide Frattesi’s late winner at the Allianz Arena gave Inter a big lift ahead of the return fixture. Simone Inzaghi’s men followed that up with a solid 3-1 Serie A win over Cagliari at the weekend, maintaining strong momentum as they aim for a semi-final clash with likely opponents Barcelona. With just 1 defeat in their last 14 matches across all competitions, Inter will feel they’re in the driver’s seat, especially with home support behind them.

Bayern Fighting to Stay Alive

Vincent Kompany’s side have been unconvincing in recent weeks, and the 2-2 draw with Dortmund on Saturday exposed some familiar defensive issues. While Bayern remain top of the Bundesliga, there’s little room for error in Europe. Despite their reputation for turning ties around, they’ll need to be far sharper in Milan if they are to progress.

Bookies Slightly Favour Bayern

Despite the deficit, Bayern Munich are narrow 2.50 favourites to win on the night. Inter Milan are 3.66 to seal the win and the draw, which would be enough to send the hosts through, is 3.60.

Head-to-Head: Bayern Still Have Edge

Bayern lead the overall head-to-head with 5 wins to Inter’s 3 from the previous meetings, but Inter took a huge step forward last week in the away game. Inter have also won their last 5 home games in Europe which bodes well here, and another strong defensive showing would be enough to see them through.

Players to Watch

Lautaro Martinez is in electric form, scoring 7 goals in 10 UCL appearances this season. He’s 1.90 to score or assist again. Bayern will look to Harry Kane to deliver on the big stage, the England striker is 2.50 to score anytime and remains their top scorer this season.
