Over/Under & Spread
La Liga leader Barcelona has been in hungry goalscoring form. It has hit the net 19 times in seven league matches while also hitting five on UCL Matchday 1.
Inter is in ninth place in Serie A, scoring 14 times but conceding a hefty 13 goals.
Ahead of Inter Milan vs Barcelona, it is enduring its worst start in Serie A for 11 years with four wins and four defeats – three of those in the last four matches.

There is an offer of +155 for there to be four goals or more (Over 3.5). For a total of at least five goals, the price is +360 (Over 4.5).
For in-form Barcelona to win by two goals, the spread offered is +135 (Asian Handicap -1).

Robert Lewandowski to Score Odds
Superstar striker Robert Lewandowski has made a brilliant start at Barcelona following his summer move from Bayern Munich.
He has hit three goals in the UCL and nine more in La Liga already ahead of Inter Milan vs Barcelona.
That makes him the favorite to get on the scoresheet at an unproductive -135.
