Inter Milan vs Real Madrid Betting Tips, Predictions & Odds - Real Madrid backed to take a point in Italy

Inter Milan will be desperate for all three points when they host Real Madrid in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Wednesday. Both teams find themselves in trouble in Group B with a very real chance that one of them won’t progress.

Inter Milan have not had the best start to the season with one win in their last five across all competitions. In the UEFA Champions League Inter currently find themselves at the bottom of Group B, three points off the top.

Inter drew their opening two Champions League matches at home against Borussia Monchengladbach (2-2) and away (0-0) against Shakhtar Donetsk. They then lost 3-2 at Real Madrid.

Things haven’t been going much better in Serie A. Since beating Genoa 2-0 away in late October, Inter failed to win until their most recent match. That victory was followed by a 2-2 home draw against Parma and a 1-1 draw at Atalanta.

The return of Romelu Lukaku has certainly offered Inter a boost and that was visible this past weekend. The Belgium striker scored twice and got an assist to help Inter Milan come from two goals down to win 4-2 at home against Torino. Lautaro Martinez and Alexis Sanchez scored the other two.

Romelu Lukaku missed the last fixture against Real Madrid but is fit to start this time around. He scored twice this past weekend.

Left-back Aleksandar Kolarov and midfielder Marcelo Brozovic will miss this clash if they return another positive COVID-19 test.

Real Madrid come into this match sitting third in Group B on four points. Victory will put them in a strong position to qualify while defeat could lead to an unthinkable elimination.

Madrid have managed to produce some quality performances this season but have just as often been well below part. After beating Inter Milan 3-2 at home in their last Champions League match, Madrid lost 4-1 away to Valencia in La Liga and drew 1-1 at Villarreal this past weekend.

Mariano Diaz gave Real Madrid a very early lead but they failed to build on it. Gerard Moreno scored a penalty to level matters late on.

Real Madrid will have to continue without the services of centre-back and captain Sergio Ramos who is injured. Midfielder Federico Valverde also misses out through injury.

The good news for Zinedine Zidane is that forward Karim Benzema should be fit to start after resting at the weekend. Martin Odegaard, Dani Carvajal and Eden Hazard are also all back in contention.

Casemiro will undergo another COVID-19 test before it is confirmed whether he can play.

Real Madrid lead Inter Milan 3-0 in their three completed matches. They last met just a few weeks ago in Madrid where the hosts walked away with a 3-2 victory.

Inter Milan are favourites at home at 2.05 with Real Madrid offering odds of 3.10. A draw is valued at 3.90.

The hosts are paying 3.40 in the HT/FT market while Real Madrid have odds of 5.00 in the same market with bet365.

Neither side has set the world alight this season as yet but both have plenty of quality within their respective squads. The return of perpetual goal scorer Romelu Lukaku could give Inter the edge given that Madrid are missing Sergio Ramos at centre-back.
