Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Champions League match.
The opening leg between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich last week (2:1) proved the most compelling of all the Champions League quarter-finals, setting up a fascinating second leg. Back in Milan, the home side will likely aim to reassert their control.
Inter Milan
Following a 3:1 victory over Cagliari Calcio on Saturday, Inter Milan extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches. Since the beginning of March, the market selection “Both Teams to Score – Yes” has landed in 8 of their last 10 fixtures. In Munich, Yann Sommer made six saves to preserve the lead, and a final xG of 0.78 suggests the squad does not need a high volume of opportunities to find the net. Kristjan Asllani returns from suspension and could add depth from the bench.
Bayern Munich
Despite a 2:2 draw in Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, Bayern Munich maintained a comfortable lead over Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga standings. Defensive concerns persist, with the “Both Teams to Score – Yes” market landing in five consecutive outings. Jonas Urbig became the first in club history to go five debut appearances without a clean sheet. A potential return for Jamal Musiala at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza could strengthen Bayern Munich in attack, though even in his absence the squad managed 2.30 xG in the first leg.
Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This engaging Champions League quarter-final is poised for more action on Wednesday. We expect both Inter Milan and Bayern Munich to find the net again.
