Prediction

Internazionale Milano

1 : 1

Barcelona

Inter did well to claim a result at Barcelona last week, and followed that up with a 1-0 win over Verona to end a five-game winless run. The Nerazzurri claimed a narrow win the last time these two met at San Siro back in 2022.
Barcelona came from behind to maintain their title push at Real Valladolid on Saturday night. The Blaugrana make the trip to Milan having won nine of their last 10 away matches.
With home advantage, Inter should claim a result that'll send this one to extra time.
