Inter vs Monaco. Prediction (odds 4.35) and bets on the Champions League match

Current form

Inter approached the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the top eight, and in general Simone Inzaghi team was considered one of the main favorites of the tournament. The Nerazzurri started with a goalless draw against Manchester City, demonstrating that they were more than determined; at that time, the Citizens were in excellent form and one point at the Etihad was a serious achievement for any team.

Overall, Inter justifies its status in the Champions League quite confidently and played only one weak match – in the sixth round against Bayer. In 90 minutes, the Nerazzurri did not hit the opponent’s goal once and lost 0:1 to the pharmacists. At the moment, the Italian champion occupies the fourth place in the table with 16 points and a draw will be enough for the hosts to secure a ticket to the playoffs.

In Serie A, Inter were also considered clear contenders for the title, but were forced to play catch-up throughout the first half of the season. The Nerazzurri currently sit second in the table with 50 points, three points behind leaders Napoli, but with a game in hand. Atalanta are also a threat, trailing by four points.

Disqualifications and injuries

Calhanoglu, Correa and Acerbi are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Inter have won four of their last five matches.
• Inter have conceded in their last two home games
• Inter have conceded goals from Monaco in three of their last four matches

Probable line-up: Sommer - Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni - Darmian, Frattesi, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco - Arnautovic, Taremi.

Current form

Before the start of the league stage, Monaco was among the contenders for a place in the top eight, but was not a clear favorite in the upcoming battle. The red-whites started with a bright and largely sensational 2:1 victory over Barcelona at home, demonstrating that they are determined and have a task, and most importantly, have the opportunity to get to the 1/8 finals directly, without participating in the playoffs.

Overall, Monaco looks quite decent in the league stage, but two defeats in a row from Benfica (2:3) in the fifth round and Arsenal (0:3) in the sixth round did not allow them to approach the last match in the top eight. At the moment, Adi Hütter team occupies the 10th place and only by additional indicators lags behind the eighth Bayer - there will be plenty of motivation today.

In the French championship, Monaco expected to at least fight for the second line, but so far it occupies the third place in the table with 34 points. The red-whites are already 13 points behind the leader PSG and the championship race is most likely already over, but three points behind Marseille allow them to count on silver. Having beaten Rennes 3:2 in the last round, Monaco broke a long series of four matches without victories in the championship.

Disqualifications and injuries

Balogun, Ilenihena and Singo were injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Monaco have won their last two matches
• Monaco have scored in their last five matches
• Monaco have conceded in seven of their last eight matches

Probable line-up: Majecki – Wanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique – Zakaria, Golovin – Akliush, Minamino, Ben Seghir – Embolo.
