Inter Milan haven’t been very stable in their recent matches and this is one of the concerns they will have to address when they host Premier League giants Liverpool in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The two giants of Europe meet on Wednesday 16th February seeking a first leg advantage, Inter seeking to improve on their 1-1 draw with Napoli ahead of this game. Inter Milan’s last two league matches haven’t offered a lot of comfort; a loss to arch rivals AC Milan and a draw with Napoli have seen their lead slashed to just a point. They haven’t been at their best defensively, and that will be key in this game, facing Liverpool’s in-form forwards, led by Diogo Jota. In the last five matches Inter have managed just one clean sheet, in a 2-0 win over Roma in the Coppa Italia. They have played top sides, Atalanta, Milan and Napoli in their last six matches, and won none of the three so this will be another top test. The last time they faced off with Liverpool in the Champions League was in 2008, and Liverpool won home and away.

Liverpool still have to face Burnley in the Premier League before they head out to take on Inter. They are playing catch up to Manchester City, who won on Saturday so they can’t afford to drop points in the Burnley game. While they think of the Burnley game, Jurgen Klopp will definitely be strategizing on their second match at San Siro this season. In their final group match, Liverpool beat AC Milan 2-1 at San Siro to complete a perfect run. At the group stages. They will be out to extend this run and looking at their recent form, it will be hard to argue against them winning here. Liverpool have five straight wins ahead of the Burnley game and are unbeaten in eight. They have scored two or more goals in seven of the eight matches and Diogo Jota has scored five goals in the last five matches. With Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah expected fully back for the Inter game, Liverpool will have much more firepower for this clash.
