Inter Milan vs Porto Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League

Hosts Inter Milan are deemed the favorites going into the game with bookies offering 1.81 for a home win while Porto have odds of 5.5 for a win and a draw is priced at 3.75.

Inter are coming from a 3-1 win over Udinese at home, a match they had to leave it late to win. A cleaner job, done much earlier here will be the biggest desire for Inter and having lost just once in 13 matches, they will feel capable. The goal conceded against Udinese ended a run of three straight clean sheets for Inter but it was the first time in four matches that Inter scored more than a goal. In three of their four wins in the last five matches, Inter have won by one-goal margins. Five of their last eight matches have had under 2.5 goals. The case for low scoring matches has also been witnessed in their home games; except for the most recent, the earlier four matches have all ended in under 2.5 goals and Inter have three clean sheets in the five home matches. The Italian giants came second in a group that had Bayern Munich and Barcelona. They did lose their final group game but had done just enough to advance here.

FC Porto, meanwhile, are also enjoying a fine run and unlike Inter Milan, they are seriously challenging for the league title in the Primeira Liga in Portugal. Porto have not lost a game in the last 12 outings and five of their last six matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Eight times in the last 10 matches, Porto have kept clean sheets. Their away run has no loss in the last 15 games and six of their last seven have produced under 2.5 goals. Two opening losses in the Champions League this season almost dented their season, one of them a crushing 4-0 loss at home to Club Brugge. Porto however recovered to bag four straight wins and finish top of their group. They even take to this game a run of three clean sheets in the last four Champions League matches.
