Inter

After four rounds in the Champions League group stage, only six clubs remain unbeaten, including Inter Milan, who have accumulated 10 points. Inter drew their opening match away to Manchester City (0-0) and then secured three consecutive clean-sheet victories: at home against Red Star Belgrade (4-0) and Arsenal (1-0), and away against Young Boys (1-0). Notably, Simone Inzaghi's side, along with Atalanta, are the only teams yet to concede a goal in the main stage of the Champions League.

• At least one team failed to score in 6 of Inter's last 7 Champions League matches.
• Inter has suffered only one defeat in regular time in their last 12 matches in this tournament (7 wins, 4 draws).
• The Italians have not conceded in the first half of their last seven home games in the Champions League.

Leipzig

The German club unexpectedly finds itself among the tournament's bottom five, having not earned a single point after four rounds. In their first three matches, Leipzig faced strong opponents, losing to Atletico Madrid (1-2), Juventus (2-3), and Liverpool (0-1). However, in the last round, the team suffered a 1-3 defeat away to a more modest Celtic side. Leipzig's winless streak in the Champions League now stands at six matches (1 draw, 5 losses).

• Both teams scored in 10 of Leipzig's last 12 matches in this tournament.
• The club opened the scoring in 7 of their last 10 Champions League matches.
• The team has not won in the second half of their last five away matches (2 draws, 3 losses).

Inter vs. Leipzig: Match Prediction

Marco Rose's side has been dealt a tough schedule in the Champions League, facing top-tier opponents, with matches against Aston Villa and Sporting still to come. It seems unlikely that the Germans will advance to the next stage, especially after their collapse against Celtic. Nonetheless, it is expected that the visitors will attempt to score against one of the tournament's best defenses. Leipzig has scored in 10 of their last 12 Champions League matches.

Inter is adept at exploiting counterattacks against their opponents. The Milanese are in a position where they can afford to play defensively, unlike the Germans, who have no choice but to take risks and attack more, leaving their defense exposed. Inter has not lost at home in their last 11 Champions League matches (9 wins, 2 draws). It is unlikely that this streak will end.

Therefore, I believe the optimal prediction is 1X and Both Teams to Score – Yes.
