Inter v Liverpool Betting Tips
Liverpool have won the European Cup on six occasions and that included the 2018-19 season where they managed to beat Tottenham Hotspur in the final after that previous remarkable comeback victory when beating Barcelona despite losing the first leg 3-0.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were dumped out of the competition by Real Madrid at the quarter final stage last term and they were previously beaten by Atletico Madrid. However, the outright market suggests that they could make serious inroads in the competition this term and they are strong favourites to get the job done here.
Liverpool Massive Favourites to Qualify
The Merseyside team didn’t put a foot wrong during the group stage. Their group included Atletico Madrid, Milan and Porto, so there was plenty of scope to slip up although Liverpool came through with flying colours and landed a victory in all six of their games. It was especially impressive considering they were already qualified after four matches played.
Klopp’s side were off colour last term and the defensive injuries hit them hard, with Virgil van Dijk having been on the sidelines for much of the campaign, while the absence of Joe Gomez and Joel Matip often meant that they were trying to plug the gaps left by these key players.
However, they are firmly back on track this season and it’s not inconceivable that the Reds will actually win the Premier League this term, while the manager has the blueprint for winning the competition and he has one of the world’s best players in the form of Mohamed Salah.
Can Inter Milan Pull Off a Champions League Shock?
Internazionale finished second to Real Madrid in their qualifying section and will now aim to get the better of a Liverpool side who achieved home and away wins over Milan during the group stage. Inter are no mugs and they currently sit top of the Serie A table, with forty points gathered from their opening seventeen matches played domestically.
Let’s not forget that Inter were Italian champions last term last season and Simone Inzhagi is currently doing an excellent job, with striker Lautaro Martinez racking up plenty of goals now that Romelu Lukaku has flown the nest to Chelsea. There have been financial difficulties at the Italian club although they look like dangerous opponents for Liverpool.
What Are the Inter v Liverpool First Leg Betting Odds?
Inter clash with Liverpool at the San Siro where the latter claimed a recent 2-1 win at Milan, although Inzhagi’s side are unbeaten at home this season and the bookies aren’t certain that they’re going to have things their own way. While some firms have the Reds at odds-on to win the first leg encounter, the majority of bookies are happy to create odds-against quotes instead.
