- Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milano)
Looking to extend their perfect start to the Champions League league phase, Inter Milan will face off against a slumping RB Leipzig at the Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday evening.
Inter vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips: INTER TO WIN
After showing some hesitation in their attacking play before the November pause, Inter Milan silenced all doubts with a clinical 5-0 demolition of Hellas Verona at the weekend, striking all five goals in an extraordinary 40-minute rampage on the road.
As they transition back to Champions League duties, Simone Inzaghi’s squad will strive to sustain their excellent form, having held Man City to a goalless opener before stringing together victories over Red Star Belgrade, Young Boys, and Arsenal.
Brilliantly, the Nerazzurri's net has remained untoched through all four European outings to date, which inspires them to once again rely on their rock-solid defense to stretch their unbeaten streak to 12 matches across all competitions, nine of which they have done in their favour.
While the Italian side flaunts enviable form on the continental stage, RB Leipzig is enduring a nightmare in their European campaign and have logically found themselves on the brink of elimination, having failed to earn a single point in their opening four UCL matches.
A revival of their European performance looks well beyond their grasp for now, as Die Roten Bullen are experiencing a tough period this month, failing to win any of their four November assignments and suffering three defeats along the way.
Worse still, each of the three aforementioned defeats happened in their most recent away outings, capped off by a surprising 1-3 setback against Celtic in their last UCL matchup, making it hard to envision Marco Rose’s disheartened squad posing any threat to a fired-up Inter, who should comfortably strengthen their grip on a top-eight position.
Inter team news
Substituted in the 15th minute during his team's emphatic 5-0 weekend victory over Verona due to a thigh injury, Francesco Acerbi is highly likely to miss Tuesday's clash, with Stefan de Vrij poised to step into the defensive trio.
Influential Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is likely to miss the European clash against RB Leipzig due to a muscle issue, while star striker Lautaro Martinez is expected to recover from the flu that kept him out against Verona.
