Manchester City vs Inter Milan Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Bradley Gibbs | in Champions League Picks
On Wednesday night, Manchester City and Inter Milan will do battle in the Champions League, in what is a repeat of the 2023 final. This is also a fight between the current English and Italian champions. Of course, in front of their own fans, the Citizens are expected to come out on top, but this won't be a walk in the park for Guardiola's men, who didn't look too fluent when beating Brentford by the narrowest of margins at the weekend. Could the Italians cause an upset?Limited Offer. Currently at FanDuel

Manchester City - Inter Milan: Form Analysis
Manchester City made a successful start to the season. First, they won the Community Shield against Manchester United on penalties. The Skyblues have not taken their foot off the gas in the Premier League. They won their first 4 matches, against Chelsea (0-2), Ipswich Town (4-1), West Ham (1-3) and Brentford (2-1). Pep Guardiola's team are already alone at the top of the English league. They are now fully focused on the Champions League. The Cityzens will also be aiming to get off to a winning start on the European stage.
They will, however, have to pull out all the stops against Inter Milan. The latter largely dominated proceedings last season in Serie A. The Nerazzurri are still the favourites to win the Italian championship in the new season. However, they have alternated between the good and the not-so-good at the start of the season. Inter Milan had a full house at home, beating Lecce (2-0) and Atalanta Bergamo (4-0). Simone Inzaghi's men were less convincing away from home, however. They were held to a draw by Genoa (2-2) and AC Monza (1-1).

Manchester City & Inter Milan Squad Analysis
Manchester City won't have a full squad for the return leg of the Champions League. Nathan Aké and Oscar Bobb will not be available for the match. However, Pep Guardiola can count on one of the strongest squads in world soccer. There are references in every position. Ruben Dias is always solid at the back, while Rodri is indispensable in midfield. Right up front, Kevin De Bruyne is the playmaker. He could well provide some of the goals in this match. And how can we not mention Erling Haaland? He's off to a great start again, with 9 goals in 4 Premier League games.
As for Inter Milan, Tajon Buchanan is out. Simone Inzaghi knows that his defense will have to pull out all the stops to repel the Mancunians' onslaught. Nerazzurri goalkeeper Yann Sommer will need to be at the top of his game. He will be able to count on Benjamin Pavard and Alessandro Bastoni in front of him. In midfield, Nicolo Barella will certainly be hard at work. Author of 4 goals and 2 assists in 4 Serie A matches, Marcus Thuram will be eagerly awaited in the Champions League. The same is true of Lautaro Martinez, who has yet to score a goal this season.
