Inter Milan vs AS Monaco Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Inter Milan head into this game as favourites as they have had an excellent Champions League campaign so far this season, seeing them sit fourth in the standings, three points above Wednesday’s opponents.

The Nerazzurri have only suffered one home defeat in Serie A, losing to AC Milan in late September, while their only Champions League loss came via a 1-0 scoreline at Bayer Leverkusen. Simone Inzaghi’s men have earned impressive home victories in this season’s Champions League against Red Star Belgrade (4-0), Arsenal (1-0) and RB Leipzig (1-0).

Despite Inter’s great form, we do, however, predict that Monaco will get on the scoresheet and to make the game tough for the Serie A outfit. Monaco have a decent goalscoring record, having found the back of the net 13 times in seven Champions League matches this campaign.

Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 AS Monaco

Inter Milan and AS Monaco go head-to-head in what is likely to be a closely contested Champions League fixture at the San Siro.

The hosts currently sit fourth in the League Phase, just three points above 10th-place Monaco who will be desperate to finish in the top eight in order to automatically qualify for the Champions League’s Round of 16.

Location: San Siro

Time: 8pm

Staggeringly, Inter Milan and AS Monaco have met just twice in their entire club histories, with the Italian outfit running out as 4-1 aggregate victors back in the First Round of the 1963/64 European Cup.

As far as each sides’ domestic campaigns go, Inter Milan are going strong in Serie A as they look to defend their league crown, with Simone Inzaghi’s side sitting just three points behind league leaders Napoli with 50 points from 21 matches, having played one game fewer than Antonio Conte’s side.

On the other hand, AS Monaco are having a solid campaign, as they are third in Ligue 1 with 34 points from 19 matches (10 wins, four draws and five defeats), meaning that they are only behind a resurgent Marseille side and a PSG side that have won ten league titles since the start of the 2012/13 season.

In the Champions League itself, Inter Milan started off with a 0-0 draw away at Manchester City, before earning victories over Red Star Belgrade (4-0), Young Boys (1-0), Arsenal (1-0) and RB Leipzig (1-0) before suffering a narrow 1-0 loss at Bayer Leverkusen and beating Sparta Prague (1-0).

Meanwhile, AS Monaco’s Champions League campaign has seen them earn some remarkable results, as they beat Barcelona 2-1 on matchday one before being held to a 2-2 draw at Dinamo Zagreb. Since then, Adi Hutter’s side have earned wins over Red Star Belgrade (5-1) and Bologna (1-0), as well as Aston Villa (1-0) on either side of defeats to Benfica (3-2) and Arsenal (3-0).

Inter Milan

Simone Inzaghi’s side will be without experienced dupe Francesco Acerbi and Hakan Çalhanoğlu due to injury.

Predicted line-up: Sommer, Dumfries, Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dimarco, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Martinez, Thuram.

Predicted line-up: Majecki, Vanderson, Teze, Kehrer, Mawissa, Zakaria, Camara, Akliouche, Minamino, Ben Seghir, Embolo.

Inter Milan

Inter Milan are in decent form heading into this match, as they have managed to win four and draw one of their last five matches, having managed solid wins over Venezia (1-0) and Empoli (3-1) on either side of a 2-2 home draw with Bologna, before beating Sparta Praha (1-0) and Lecce (4-0) in their most recent outings.

As far as in-form players go, Marcus Thuram has been in superb form this campaign, as the former Borussia Mönchengladbach man has fired in 13 goals in 21 Serie A matches, seeing him priced at 5/1 to score first against Monaco.

AS Monaco

AS Monaco have recently managed confidence-boosting victories over both Rennes (3-2) and Aston Villa (1-0) following a run of shaky form that had seen them suffer a 2-1 loss at Montpellier after a penalty shootout defeat to Stade Reims after a 1-1 draw in the Coupe de France. Prior to this sequence of results, the visitors had drawn 2-2 away at Nantes.

The Monegasque’s main goal threat is Eliesse Ben Seghir, who has scored five goals in 19 Ligue 1 appearances, seeing him priced at 10/3 to score anytime.
