In the opening round of the Champions League, Inter lost to Real Madrid on the road and is clearly betting on scoring three points on October 13. The rivals are Brugge, which at the start, even with the support of the fans, could not cope with Aston Villa. Should we expect any intrigue today, or will the Nerazzurri take a landslide victory? We recommend that you read the betting tip of the site's expert and choose your exact bets on the game
Command Analysis
Inter
Current form
Inter have played eight matches since the start of the season, in which they lost points twice, but only against top opponents. In the first round of the Champions League, the Nerazzurri lost to Real Madrid on the road with a score of 1:2. There was also a 1-1 draw with Roma in Serie A. In the remaining meetings, Christian Kivu's team achieved victories, and in four cases they won with an advantage of more than one goal. In Serie A, Inter takes the first place after six rounds, but only in terms of additional indicators ahead of Lazio. Traditionally, in matches against opponents who are inferior in class, the Milanese rely on total ball control, they have no problems in a positional attack.
Disqualifications and injuries
Inter has only Stones and Jones in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
Since the beginning of the season, Inter have won all four matches played, scoring at least three goals.
In three of the last four matches, Inter's players were offside more often than their opponents.
The approximate composition: H. Martinez – Bissek, Akanji, Bastoni – Diouf, Barella, Chalhanoglu, Zelinsky, Dimarko – Tyuram, L. Martinez.
Club Brugge
Current form
Brugge underwent major changes in the squad this summer. It's a familiar pattern when a club sells its leaders. Of the most high-profile losses, we note the departure of Tsolis to Arsenal, as well as the return of Stankovic to Inter. If in the Belgian championship, even taking into account the changes in the squad, it is possible to achieve success, then there are clearly problems in the Champions League. In the first round, Ivan Leko's team lost to Aston Villa (2:3), which was far from its optimal form at the start of the season. The defense could not cope with the pressure of Birmingham, affected by the sale of key prop Onyedica and the injury of the main central defender Ordonez. At the moment, Brugge is not ready to compete on equal terms with the top European clubs in terms of composition.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ordonez is traumatized. Entering the Forbes field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four consecutive matches with the participation of Brugge, more than two goals were scored.
Brugge had not won on yellow cards in four previous matches.
There is no need to expect much intrigue in the upcoming match, Inter is able to confidently confirm the status of the favorite, which was assigned to him by the bookmakers. The Nerazzurri have won all four matches they have played, and in three cases they have achieved victories with an advantage of more than one goal. Christian Kivu's players play from a position of strength against opponents who are inferior in class, rely on total ball control and have no problems in a positional attack.
Taking into account the significant losses in the squad, Brugge is clearly not ready to compete in the international arena this season, as could be seen from the match against Aston Villa. The Belgians have the main problems in defense, there is no way to replace the sold prop Onyedica and the injured central defender Ordonez. We expect that Inter will easily win today with an advantage of at least two goals.
Our prediction is that Inter will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) for a coefficient of 1.70
Despite the significant problems in defense, Brugge has a solid attacking potential and has never left the field without scoring a goal, taking into account all the tournaments. It is likely that the Belgians will be able to distinguish themselves at San Siro, but they will not leave their gates intact.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.79
Betting on corners
Inter have taken more corners than their opponents in four of the last five matches. Obviously, the Nerazzurri will spend a lot of time at other people's gates on their own field today and will confidently win once again by the corners.
Prediction – Inter's corner win with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.80
