Inter Milan vs Benfica Prediction

Inter Milan lock horns with Benfica just six months after their two meetings in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.

This time, they battled it out in the second round of Group D in a very important affair given that neither team managed to snatch a win on the opening day.

Benfica’s 0-2 loss to Salzburg two weeks ago at Estadio da Luz probably marked the biggest upset of the opening round of the 2023/24 UCL campaign.

The main reason for the defeat was Antonio Silva’s early red card 13 minutes into the game. Benfica did still create more chances than their counterparts on the occasion but it was not enough for a result.

Roger Schmidt’s troops bounced back with a huge 1-0 win over main domestic rivals FC Porto several days after. Benfica are now alone at the top of the Primeira Liga standings with six wins in the opening seven rounds of the season.

Inter Milan are also at the top of the Serie A table with a similar record but they are not alone there anymore after a disappointing 1-2 defeat to Sassuolo six days ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.

Head coach Simone Inzaghi can’t be thrilled with the offensive displays his men have shown in the most recent matches and it will be very interesting to see how the players will react on Tuesday against a very strong opponent.

Latest Meetings

Inter Milan advanced from the last season’s Champions League quarterfinal 5-3 on aggregate thanks to a 0-2 win in the first leg at Estadio da Luz.

The two teams had earlier faced each other in the fourth round of the UEFA Cup back in the 2003/04 campaign when Inter Milan advanced 4-3 on aggregate.

The Verdict

Inter Milan have not impressed us at all in the latest outings and we fancy Benfica’s chances of getting a result in Milano on Tuesday.

The main pick is Benfica not to lose at the 1.95 odds while we also like goals at both ends at the 1.75 odds.
