Barcelona and inter Milan face off on Wednesday in a UEFA Champions League Group C showdown at Camp Nou.
When these two teams faced off last Tuesday, it was Inter Milan that secured a 1-0 victory. On paper, it was a game that looked pretty dominant for Barcelona, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. It was a goal in stoppage time in the first half by Inter Milan that was the difference in picking up the three points. Inter Milan had 28 percent of the possession and two shots on goal. Barcelona had 72 percent of the possession and two shots on goal.
Inter Milan comes into this game sitting in second place in the group having picked up six points. Over the weekend, they faced off against Sassuolo, and they were able to come away with a 2-1 victory. Edin Dzeko scored goals in the 44th and 75th minutes to come away with the victory. Inter Milan had four shots on target and 47 percent of the possession. They did give up a goal, but it was still a comfortable victory. Dalbert, Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Cordaz, Joaquin Correa, and Gabriel Brazao are all dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Barcelona, who sits in 3rd place in the group having picked up three points. Over the weekend, Barcelona faced off against Celta Vigo, and they were able to win that game 1-0. Pedri scored in the 17th minute and that was the difference. Barcelona had 58 percent of the possession and five shots on goal on the way to the victory. Barcelona is really banged up heading into this game, and they will be without Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Hector Bellerin, Ronald Araujo, Memphis Depay, and Jules Kounde for this game. They are expected to make some changes for this game.
Barcelona needs three points here, and I think they get it. They are going to push the numbers forward and use the home crowd to their advantage. Look for Barcelona to score a couple of goals, and their defense is going to lockdown enough to get the job done here. Back Barcelona on the money line.
