The famed Guiseppe Meazza Stadium, popularly known as San Diego, will play host to the first leg of an interesting Champions League knockout match-up between Inter Milan and Liverpool FC. The match will kick off by 1:30 on the 17th of February 2022 and pits the current Serie A leaders against a Liverpool side who blazed through a supposed ‘group of death’ in the Champions League group stages. Before we delve into the betting Tips for this fixture, let us take a look at the team form and news so far:

Teams Status

Inter Milan

Inter Milan is in an excellent patch of form presently. They’re top of the table in the Italian Serie A and will hope to continue in that regard against the Reds. In their past 5 matches, Inter have won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1, which all came after a run of five wins in a row in all competitions.

In the Champions League, the Italian champions have had a mixed campaign, winning 3, drawing 1, and losing 2 of their matches in the group stage. They have scored 8 times and conceded another 5. Edin Dzeko is their leading goalscorer in the Champions League with 3 goals and 1 assist.

For their team news, Inter Milan will be without Joaquin Correa for Liverpool’s visit as he is sidelined with an injury, and Nicolo Barella who is suspended after he bagged a red card against Real Madrid in the final group stage game

Liverpool FC

Jurgen Klopp’s men are in the form of their lives in this season’s Champions League, as they are one of three teams who topped their groups with a 100% record. Liverpool’s form is further highlighted by the caliber of teams they were grouped with— Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, and FC Porto.

Liverpool won all 6 games of the group stage, scoring 17 goals and conceding 6 in that winning run. Egyptian star Mohammed Salah is their leading goalscorer, hitting the net 7 times in 6 games. Also, Liverpool FC are on a run of 4 wins and a draw in their last five matches in all competitions.

Here’s the team news for Liverpool: Sadio Mane returns from Senegal’s AFCON conquest where he suffered a minor head injury and may be a doubt for the trip to Italy. Belgian Divock Origi is also sidelined with an injury and may not play a part in the encounter.

Tipster’s Angle

Inter Milan may not be a pushover, but Liverpool FC are the side to beat in the Champions League at the moment. With 6 wins out of 6 in the group stages, compared to Inter’s 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, it is not hard to see why the bookies favor a Liverpool victory away from home. Also, the H2H record between the two sides is in favor of Liverpool, as they won every single meeting with Inter— 2 in 2008. Without further ado, here are our tips for this fixture:

Tip: Liverpool To Win Or Draw @ 1.355 Odds

The Reds have turned in solid performances away from home in the Champions League this season, and we expect the trend to continue against Inter Milan. They have already won at the San Siro this season— a victory against AC Milan— so they are more likely to get a draw or even win this game with Salah and the gang firing on all cylinders. Liverpool to win or draw is available on the Paripesa sportsbook at 1.355 odds.

Tip: Liverpool To Qualify @ 1.32 Odds

The only time these two teams have met in the Champions League knockout stages, Liverpool won both fixtures home and away. Also, with the English team in much better form than their opponents, it is difficult not to call this one in their favor. Liverpool FC are the more likely of the two sides to progress to the quarterfinals based on present form. Liverpool to qualify is available on the Melbet sportsbook at 1.32 odds.

Conclusion

Inter Milan will play at home against an exciting and well-drilled goalscoring machine in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. While Inter Milan will enjoy home advantage, Liverpool FC have enough firepower in their side to earn a draw, at least, from this encounter.
