Inter: Form & Balance Check
After winning the championship last season, the Milanese are doing well again this year. In the league, Inter is in the middle of a top battle, but has much tougher competition than in the previous season. But it should work better in the Champions League than before, in the previous season it was already over after the preliminary round. At the time, Inter was eliminated last in a group with Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Mönchengladbach and therefore did not spend the winter in Europe.

Inter are in great form just in time for this absolute highlight against Liverpool FC. The Milanese have won five of the first eight competitive games in the new year and only suffered one defeat, although it was painful in the derby against their main competitor Milan.

Can Inter reach the quarter-finals again after 11 years?
Inter Milan want to finish in the last 8 of the Champions League for the first time in 11 years. The Nerazzurri made it through the group stage for the first time this season after 3 appearances. The Milanese are currently one of the big outsiders for this competition for the bookies and are only an underdog despite the home advantage in the first leg against Liverpool.

Due to the strong defence, the weakening Inter offensive (Lautaro Martinez, for example, has not scored a goal in the Champions League for 697 minutes) and the enormous importance of this game, a prediction of a few goals between Inter Milan and Liverpool makes sense.

Liverpool: Form & Record Check
Liverpool FC was able to rehabilitate themselves this season and have regained their old strength. In the past season, the Reds struggled with injury problems and only made it into the premier class in the final sprint of the Premier League. There it was already in the quarter-finals against Real Madrid last year, symbolically for the whole season, the competition ended in disappointment for Liverpool. The resurrection of the LFC, which is the closest pursuer of leaders Man City in the league and had a perfect group stage in the Champions League, is all the more impressive.

Liverpool FC want to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the 4th time in the last 5 years. The Reds were in the final twice, they won the trophy once (2019).

The championship this season will probably not be an issue given the nine-point deficit (but a catch-up game), but Liverpool is still presenting itself significantly stronger this season than last year. 14 more points are on the plus side and the defensive in particular has been solid again since the return of Virgil van Dijk. 19 goals conceded in 24 games is even one less than Inter Milan. In comparison, there were 32 goals conceded in the first 24 PL games last year.

The Reds are in excellent shape and can not only rely on the outstanding offensive, but also on the defensive. Another argument used by Inter Milan vs Liverpool for a tip on a sub-bet or "both teams to score?" No” speaks.
