In general, the Reds are in incredibly good form, having won all of their last ten competitive games. It was only at the weekend that they were able to put further pressure on leaders Man City by beating West Ham. Inter are in a similar position in Serie A, just behind leaders AC Milan. But anything is still possible for the Nerazzuri in the title fight. Find out who we think will be ahead on Tuesday in this Liverpool – Inter tip.

Liverpool Form & Record Check
For a long time it looked as if the fight for the title in the Premier League had already been decided. But due to the enormous form of the Reds and the simultaneous mistakes of City, the race for the championship is completely open again. The gap to the Skyblues is only 3 points. In general, the Reds are doing great at the moment. They won the League Cup against Chelsea and have one foot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Liverpool also advanced to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Accordingly, there are still three titles up for grabs for Jürgen Klopp's team.

Most recently, the German manager discussed his future publicly, hinting that the plan is to retire at Liverpool in 2024. Klopp is the Reds' most successful manager since Sir Kenny Dalglish. Under the 54-year-old, Liverpool have won both the Champions League and the league for the first time in 30 years. In addition, they have been among the absolute elite in Europe for 4 years. It is a pure success story that will continue for at least two more years. We are curious if Klopp will really leave Liverpool in 2024.

Alison; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Mané, Diaz
Inter: Form & Balance Check
After the team had to give up both the master coach and the top scorer of recent years in the summer, the future in Milan was uncertain. The departures could not be replaced equally and Inter had to think of a new strategy. But the team is also performing extremely well this year and is again on course for the championship, even if a three-way battle is developing at the moment with Napoli and Milan, in which the chances for all three teams are about the same.

Problems against the top teams
The Nerazzuri have had a really hard time against the top teams this season. Whether in the first leg against Liverpool, in the preliminary round against Real Madrid, or in the league in duels with Naples, AC Milan or Juventus. So far they have only won once against Napoli, otherwise they have not been able to win any of the duels with the teams mentioned. This is certainly due to the prominent departures, as the quality is simply lacking in some positions. Nevertheless, the claim is different with the current squad.

Inter: Facts & Analysis
- They won the last game 5-0 against Salernitana
- Previously, they were 5 competitive games in a row without a win
- In the league they occupy the 2nd place in the table with one game less than the leader

In midfield, coach Inzaghi is once again without the suspended Barella. Ivan Perisic is also in danger of being sidelined after he was unable to play against Salernitana on Friday evening due to muscular problems. It is quite possible that the German national player Robin Gosens will then celebrate his CL premiere for the new club. The aim must be to feed Edin Dzeko with balls at the top. The ex-Wolfsburg player has scored three goals in his last four games at Anfield.

Our prediction for the game
Liverpool FC are surfing on the winning wave and are unbeaten in 15 games. It's hard to imagine Klopp's side losing a 2-0 lead over Inter Milan. We assume that the English will hardly concede anything on the defensive and therefore tend to an under bet.
Free soccer predictions
The tip "less than 3.5 goals" brings a rate of 1.50 - ideal for a combination bet. Alternatively, of course, tip 1 makes sense - the Reds are "on fire" and certainly favorites in the second leg - odds: 1.57.
