Inter Milan v Barcelona Champions League Betting

The winner of this tie will go into the Champion League final as the clear betting favourites, that much is certain. But for those who believe that Barcelona will breeze past Inter Milan as they did Arsenal they may want to think again.

Unlike many Champions League fixtures we actually have a decent amount of past form to analyse between these two sides due to them being drawn in the same group earlier in the campaign. The previous game played at the San Siro ended in a rather drab goalless draw as Inter managed to stifle the Barcelona attack despite the Catalan giants having a massive 65% of possession. Don’t be surprised to see the same tactics employed here tonight.

Another major factor which must be taken into consideration is the disruption caused by the volcanic ash. Back in the ‘good old days’ this wouldn’t have been a problem for many clubs who were used to taking long coach journeys for away games across Europe, however, in today’s age of super-comfort and quick air travel a long arduous bus trip may have an effect on the players.

Inter are a best price of 21/10 with Bet365 (Go to Bet365 ») to win the match, whilst Barcelona are 11/8 with Skybet (Go to Skybet ») to pick up where they left off against Arsenal just two weeks ago.
