Before Betting
Man City’s dream of a second straight Champions League success came crashing down in the quarterfinal stage in 2023-24, as they were dumped out of the competition by Real Madrid. Despite that early exit last term, Guardiola’s side will be among the favorites to reclaim the title this season.
City should have few issues in securing their place in the next round, with matches against Slovan Bratislava, Sparta Prague, and Feyenoord to come. However, they will open the campaign with a rematch of the 2023 final against Inter.
The Premier League champions struggled for long periods against the Serie A champions in Turkey, but they eventually secured a 1-0 success. Their recent form looks daunting for rivals at this stage after starting the Premier League season with three wins from three.
Inter were the dominant force in Italian soccer last season, and they cruised to the Serie A title in the second half of the season. They have already picked up from where they left off this term after winning two of their opening three matches to sit at the top of the standings.
However, their form in Europe in recent seasons has raised questions, as they have rarely got close to winning a first Champions League honor since 2010.
Their run to the final in 2023 is their only bright spark, after exiting two of the last three seasons in the round of 16, and failing to make it out of the group stage in three successive seasons between 2018 and 2021.
Man City vs. Inter Milan Prediction
City’s Etihad record is staggering in Europe, as they are unbeaten in European home matches since November 2018. For that reason, it appears hard to overlook the prospect of the Premier League champions starting their Champions League campaign with a victory on Wednesday.
