Champions League

Inter v Liverpool betting tips

Second place in Serie A welcomes second place in the Premier League for what promises to be a mouth-watering showdown.

Inter will certainly be feeling confident at San Siro, where they have only lost twice across all competitions in the past year.

The Nerazzurri have also won their last two Champions League matches on home soil, having tasted victory just once in the previous nine.

Meanwhile, Liverpool were one of only three sides to progress from the group stage with a 100 per cent record, along with Ajax and Bayern Munich.

• Liverpool have won their last six games
• The Reds had a 100% record in the group stage
• Inter have won only three of their last 11 home Champions League games
• Mo Salah scored in five of Liverpool’s six group stage matches

All eyes will be on Stadio Giuseppe Meazza when Inter and Liverpool face each other in the Champions League last 16, first leg. The Nerazzurri won second place in Group D to set up a meeting with Liverpool, and, no doubt, they face an uphill task in this double-header. Both Barella and Bastoni are banned, while Correa, Gosens, and Vecino miss out with injuries. Arturo Vidal is widely expected to replace Barella in the starting XI.
