Inter Milan have been quietly going about their business in the Champions League this season, and they could be a potential dark horse to win the competition.
Simone Inzaghi’s side have remained unbeaten across the opening four matchdays, and they are yet to concede in the Champions League. A 1-0 win over Arsenal on matchday four lifted them up to fifth in the standings.
RB Leipzig will be the visitors to San Siro on Tuesday. The German side are in danger of dropping out of the competition after failing to win in four matches, leaving them sitting 32nd in the overall standings.

Inter Milan vs. RB Leipzig Prediction
Leipzig haven’t been able to transfer their strong domestic form into the Champions League this season, and their chances of reaching the next round are already incredibly slim.
Inter’s dominant defensive record has caught the eye, and they once again look challenging to oppose on Tuesday. Therefore, it could be worth siding with the Italians winning to nil.
