- Competition: Champions League
- Date: Wednesday, 6th November, 2024
- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
On Wednesday evening, we will have a real treat in the Champions League as two of the best European teams, Inter and Arsenal, will face off at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan in the fourth round of the Champions League.
Inter won the Scudetto last year and was super dominant in the process. However, they weren't great in the Champions League, as Atletico Madrid eliminated them in the 1/8 Finals. Over the Summer, Nerazzurri kept all of their players and only strengthened the squad and are once again one of the main favorites for the title in all competitions. Even though some football pundits criticized them and said they are not on last year's level, we believe they are doing fine. Right now, they are second in the Serie A, just one point behind the first-placed Napoli, and in the CL, they won seven points in three rounds and are on the right path to securing the second stage.
Arsenal are still searching for their first Champions League trophy. In the last two years, they came close to winning the Premier League title, but their performance in Europe was far from impressive. This year, the Gunners' performances in the Premier League were far from expected, as they are in 5th place with 18 points from ten rounds, already seven points behind the top spot. Most football experts believe that the injuries (especially Odegaard's) are the primary reason for their somewhat poor performances. In contrast, they are doing fine in the CL and have won seven points in three rounds, just like Inter.
Inter vs Arsenal pick: Inter to (AH 0) win
Inter had their ups and downs at the start of the season, but as the season progresses, Nerazzurri are looking better and better. Right now, they won seven out of the last eight games. The only match where they failed to win during that stretch was against Juventus (4:4), but they were objectively a better team and deserved all three points. With a little more luck, we would speak about a fantastic eight-game winning streak.
On the other hand, Arsenal won just twice in the last five games. Those wins were against a Championship side in the Carabao Cup, Preston, and in the Champions League against Shakhtar Donetsk. Those are teams that are not even remotely close to Inter's level. Additionally, away from home, Arsenal have been really bad this season by their standards, and it is unreal to expect a positive result against Inter.
We expect a super-exiting and close game, but considering the difference in form, Arsenal's poor road performances, and Inter's home-pitch advantage, we believe that Nerazzurri are closer to winning the upcoming CL game.
Inter team news
After a 1:0 win over Venezia, coach Simone Inzagi spoke to the media. He congratulated his team and said they had excellent opportunities in the first half by Mkhitaryan and Thuram but failed to convert them. The coach noted they need to be more clinical in the Arsenal and Napoli game.
With Calhanoglu and Acerbi recovered from their injuries, only Carlos Augusto should remain sidelined with his injury, while Kristjan Asllani is questionable.
