Inter were quickly back at the top of the Scudetto before the international break, with the Nerazzurri having amassed seven points from their opening three matches. Now their attention will turn to European matters and they’ve been handed a tough opener at the Etihad Stadium, with Manchester City arguably the best team on the continent.
The Cityzens won this competition two seasons ago when overcoming Inter in the final and they will have designs on regaining the trophy from Real Madrid. In Erling Haaland, they have arguably the deadliest striker on the planet, with Kevin De Bruyne continuing to operate at the peak of his powers and they might have Rodri back from injury.
However, the bookies think that BTTS Yes is a likely outcome and this selection could be combined with a Manchester City win if you think that a home win is on the cards. Guardiola will want to start off with a victory against tough opposition, although Inter were among the goals when thrashing Atalanta 4-0 before the international break.
Marcus Thuram scored twice in that game and the Frenchman could offer a threat here, with Lautaro Martinez also an established forward with a strong track record. From a correct score betting point-of-view, we would estimate a 2-1 or 3-1 winning scoreline for Manchester City to get their campaign up and running.
