LiontipsPorto vs Inter Milan. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022/23 UEFA Champions League (March 14, 2023).
Command Analysis
After the first two group games of the current Champions League campaign, Porto were expected to fight for third place, but in the end, the team won four games in a row, which allowed them to finish in first place. The Dragons lost to Inter Milan at San Siro in the first leg (0-1) and need to put their best foot forward in the home game.
In Primeira Liga, Sergio Conceicao's men got 18 victories and three draws from 24 matches, which corresponds to 57 points and second position in the standings. The attacking line delivered a great performance since the start of the season, scoring 55 goals. In the last game, Porto beat Estoril (3-2).
Meixedo, Otavio, Joao Marcelo, and Evanilson will not be able to help their team.
Rumors that Antonio Conte could become the new head coach for Inter Milan have been circulating in the media over the past week. This has actually played a cruel joke on the team - the Nerazzurri lost focus and suffered a defeat to one of the outsiders of Serie A, Spezia (1-2), who had not won in two months. Inter retained the second line in the table, but the distance to Napoli has increased to 15 points.
After 26 rounds, the team has 16 victories and two draws, which corresponds to 50 points. At the start of the current Champions League campaign, Simone Inzaghi's side were not considered favourites to qualify from the group, but they managed to overcome Barcelona and finished in second place. In the first leg of the round of 16, they secured a narrow 1-0 victory over the champion of Portugal.
Skriniar, D'Ambrosio, and Correa, who has a thigh injury, will be on the bench.
