Inter Milan Preview – Can Inter respond?
Inter Milan were another side to fall foul of local rivals last weekend in the Italian Serie A when they lost 3-2 to AC Milan and overall results to date in the domestic top flight have been a little inconsistent by Inter Milan’s high standards as the hosts have won three but lost twice so far in this season’s Serie A campaign.
Wins against Lecce, Spezia and Cremonese have been countered by defeats suffered at the hands of Lazio and AC Milan, and the hosts will be eager to rectify things when they play host to Bayern Munich on Wednesday night in this Group C opener, but the hosts look set for a difficult 90 minutes against the German champions.
Victories on the Champions League stage have also been sporadic in recent times where Inter Milan have been concerned as Simone Inzaghi’s side have managed to collect just five wins from their last 15 ties overall, three of which were actually achieved away from home including a 1-0 win away at Anfield against Liverpool in last season’s campaign.
Inter have also struggled for results on home soil in the Champions League as the hosts have recorded just three wins from their previous 12 ties at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, losing four and drawing the other five games.
In addition, Inter Milan have lost each of the previous three meetings at home against Bayern Munich and this trend could continue on Wednesday night, especially as Belgian striker, Lukaku, continues to be sidelined with a thigh injury.
Bayern Munich Preview – Can Bayern continue solid start?
By contrast, Bayern Munich have been the epitome of German efficiency so far this season as the perennial domestic champions bring an unbeaten run of seven games in all competitions into this Matchday 1 clash in Italy against Inter Milan, having registered five wins in the process and confidence and momentum on their side.
An opening day Super Cup 5-3 win against RB Leipzig saw Bayern Munich off to a winning start to this season’s campaign and this was followed by league wins against Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1, Wolfsburg 2-0 and a crushing 7-0 victory over hapless Bochum, along with a DFP German cup win over Viktoria Koln, winning 5-0 away from home.
Goals have certainly not been a problem where Bayern Munich have been concerned as the visitors have plundered a total of 27 goals across their seven games played to date, and Inter Milan must be bracing themselves for another potential onslaught on Wednesday evening.
Bayern Munich also possess an impressive record away from home at Champions League level as the visitors have lost just one of their previous 26 outings on the road, picking up a total of 20 wins in the process.
Following a knee injury, Bayern welcomed Leon Goretzka back to their squad last week, and he joins a long list of players in contention to play in this Group C opener.
