Inter vs Benfica Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd October 2023
Inter take on Benfica at Giuseppe Meazza, where an exciting match should be on the cards this coming Tuesday. It is one of sixteen matches in round two of the group stage of the Champions League this season.
Following the opening round of the group matches Inter are number two on one point, while Benfica have zero points as number four.
Inter salvaged a point in their premiere match in the Champions League this season. Thanks to red-hot Lautaro Martinez left San Sebastian with a 1-1 draw and will now be looking to impress their strength at home on Benfica once again.
Challenging for the title is beyond Benfica in the Champions League but a quarter-final is not beyond them on paper. However, losing at home in the first round against Salzburg could prove a big, big blow.
Inter scored 14 goals, conceded seven and fought their way to a clean sheet six times in their previous ten matches in this tournament.
Benfica scored 24 goals, conceded 15 and held on for a clean sheet in one of their last ten matches in this tournament.
Inter vs Benfica Prediction
Inter Form
Inter beat Empoli by 0-1, lost 1-2 against Sassuolo, before defeating Salernitana 0-4. Inter won four of their previous six Champions League games at the Giuseppe Meazza. They both drew and lost once, as they conceded five and scored ten goals.
Benfica Form
In their last three matches, Benfica lost against Salzburg by 0-2, beat Portimonense by 1-3 winning 1-0 against FC Porto. In their last six Champions League away matches, Benfica won a very acceptable four times. They've also drawn twice and lost none, scoring 16 while also conceding six times.
Inter have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Benfica are capable of getting in the way of the home side at Giuseppe Meazza, as we aim for the home win.
