Reason for Barcelona vs Inter Predictions
It was a fascinating battle at the San Siro last week as Inter ran out 1-0 victors over Barcelona. It may have been a low-scoring affair, but it was not without its fair share of drama, with Barcelona feeling aggrieved about a last-minute penalty decision that went in Inter’s favor. Xavi will now be determined to exact revenge in Catalonia. The current landscape in this season’s so-called ‘Group of Death,’ which also contains Bayern Munich, sees the Bavarians currently lead the charge with a perfect record after three games. Quite incredibly, Robert Lewandowski has been directly involved in 27 goals across his previous 15 home games in the Champions League (22 goals and five assists). That includes a hat-trick on his Barca debut in the competition against Viktoria Plzen. Raphinha enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves toward the goal, the opponent has problems. Pedri showed that he is a great player, he moves well and cooperates with the attackers, all praise for him. Héctor Bellerín (Muscular problems), Andreas Christensen (Sprained ankle), Memphis Depay (Thigh Problems), Franck Kessié (Adductor problems), Jules Koundé (Achilles tendon problems), and Ronald Araújo (Adductors avulsion) will not be able to play for Barcelona manager Xavi Hernández.
Inter won against Sassuolo on the road, which is a refreshment following shaky performances on the road this team posted throughout this campaign. Simone Inzaghi eased the pressure from the fans and the media with recent back-to-back successes. Beating Barca at home is a great result for the Nerazzurri, whose inconsistency and poor defensive effort are two of the biggest problems this year. The defense hasn’t been able to provide decent performances continuously, and right now, Inter has just three clean sheets in 12 competitive games. Meanwhile, the offense, despite Lukaku’s absence, is doing a solid job, and we have to give credit to Lautaro, Dzeko, and the rest of the forwards. Inter didn’t score only against Bayern Munich, which is why a majority of their performances end with three or more goals. Lautaro Martinez enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and goes toward the goal, the opponent has problems because he passes through the defense like a fast train. Hakan Calhanoglu found the right role in the team, he moves great in the middle of the field, and it isn’t easy to take the ball away from this guy.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as Inter is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Barcelona should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
