Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Inter’s 3-2 defeat at the weekend at the hands of their city rivals, AC Milan, will have hurt. It was doubly painful as the same opponents narrowly pipped them to the Serie A title last season.

It was a disappointing end to Simone Inzaghi’s first in charge at Inter, and a lukewarm start to this campaign, including the derby defeat, has left them down in eighth place in Serie A.

A win over the mighty Bayern is much-needed in order to kick-start their season, although their cause has not been helped by an injury to striker Romelu Lukaku, who re-signed on loan from Chelsea.

Inconsistent Inter

In addition to Bayern, Inter also face Barcelona and the minnows of Viktoria Plzen in their UCL group, so a place in the top two is far from a given. A good start to this Champions League campaign appears vital but these are testing times for the Blue and Blacks.

A really disappointing 3-1 defeat against Inzaghi’s former team, Lazio, two weeks ago was followed with a win over newly-promoted Cremonese but they remain worryingly inconsistent, as evidenced in the derby game.

Minor Blip for Bayern

The start to the campaign hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as Bayern are used to and two consecutive draws have seen them drop to third in the table behind SC Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund.

But, as ever, the Bavarians will come into this game with confidence, not least because they have won their last three trips to the San Siro to play Inter – the most recent win being a 1-0 in 2011 that featured club legend Thomas Muller, who may start on Wednesday.

Having won this trophy as recently as 2020, Bayern still has the taste of success to feed off and despite losing the goalscoring talents of Robert Lewandowski in the summer (to Barcelona), they will be looking to go deep in this tournament.

Bayern Still Full of Goals

But, as mentioned above, they have suffered a minor blip over the last two weeks with consecutive Bundesliga draws against BVB and Union Berlin. Sandwiched in between, however, was a 5-0 win the in the DFB-Pokal (the German Cup) against lower-league Viktoria Koln.

While a draw in the San Siro would be no disaster for Bayern, a run of only one win in four games would be unusual. Defeat, on the other hand, would be regarded as disastrous but, in reality, their problems are minor. They have already hit the net 26 times this season.

Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Pick

While the odds heavily favor the visitors, this is an Inter team that is hurting and which feels it owes a good performance to their fans after the derby day disappointment.

Therefore, while it is hard to see them beating Bayern, they are certainly capable of earning the point that would get their UCL campaign up and running.

Pick: Inter Milan and Bayern Munich to draw (+305)
