Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan Prediction, Betting Tips & Lineups: Best bets in Munich
The UEFA Champions League has reached the quarter-final stage and an intriguing tussle between Bayern Munich and Serie A champions Inter Milan is one of the mouthwatering ties.
Their first leg battle at the Allianz Arena in Munich takes place on Tuesday, April 8th with kick-off at 20:00 and television coverage in the UK is via TNT Sports 1 and Discovery+.
Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan Prediction
Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan Betting Tips
Inter are likely to present stubborn opposition for Bayern in this Champions League quarter-final, but the hosts can prevail in Bavaria.
Bayern were poor at home in their opening knockout round, needing a late leveller to see off a gutsy Celtic side.
Last time, however, Vincent Kompany's troops stepped up a level as they brushed aside reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen with a 5-0 aggregate win.
That was a strong statement of intent and they should have too much for Inter in this first leg.
Bayern are unbeaten in their last 22 Champions League home matches (Won 17, Drawn 5), and have won their last seven home assignments against Italian opposition.
It's unlikely that this game will produce many goals. Inter have conceded only two goals in their 10 Champions League games this season, and Simone Inzaghi's side is built on solidity at the back.
The absence of Denzel Dumfries is a worry in that regard, but Bayern will still find it difficult to break them down.
Seven of Inter's 10 games in this competition have featured under three goals, including all five road trips. Indeed, those five away games have produced just six goals combined.
In the league phase of the competition, Bayern won 1-0 at home against Benfica and Paris St-Germain, and another low-scoring evening is forecast at the Allianz Arena.
