Inter v Tottenham Betting Preview – UEFA Champions League 18th September 7.45pm

Neither of these have really lived up to their billing so far this season. Inter Milan were tipped to start delivering a bigger threat in the Serie A title race but that so far hasn’t happened and it’s been a disappointing start to their domestic season. Tottenham started well on their domestic front but a couple of poor results have started to cast a shadow over their fortunes. Read our predictions for the Inter v Tottenham fixture.

Inter News and Form

Inter have yet to show the strengths and quality that they are perceived to have. They were tipped to be a challenger for the title in Serie A this term, but that has n’t panned out early on in the campaign. They are just W1 D1 L2 so far in their four games. At home, they have produced a D1 L2 record after going down against Parma there on the weekend. Despite their previous meetings with Spurs averaging over four goals per game, we are going under 2.5 goals at 3/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.) for the game because neither are particularly in good form.

Because of current form of both, it is likely that this is going to be a tight battle. Inter are here for the first time since the 2011/12 season where they made it through to the first knockout round. In their last six home games in Europe, their record reads W2 L4 so haven’t been in great form at the San Siro. The two wins in that sequence though were in their last two games and they were both 2-1 successes over French sides. Barcelona are also in this group so it’s not a game that Inter can really think about losing on home soil.

Tottenham News and Form

Last season’s group stage for Spurs produced a surprise as the Premier League outfit topped their group ahead of eventual tournament winners Real Madrid. Spurs won five of their group stage games (D1). This will be Tottenham’s fifth Champions League campaign and their record in the competition including qualification is W16 D7 L11. Their form has dropped away though having suffered back to back 2-1 defeats in the Premier League, against Watford and then against Liverpool on the weekend. In both defeats, they looked really disjointed and not playing with their usual clinical precision. Harry Kane is the 11/10 anytime goalscorer favorite* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.).

Tottenham produced some great performances on the road in last seasons competition and that is what they need to tap into for this one. But they just seem to be a bit off key at the moment and because of that, in the correct score market an Inter 1-0 option is at 7/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 15th, 2018 at 11:35 p.m.). That has the big appeal in our Inter v Tottenham predictions. Spurs have only come up with the one clean sheet this season and are going to face a tough test at the San Siro. That is taking into consideration Inter’s lack of form as well.

Inter v Tottenham Head to Head

The first meeting between these which was in the UEFA Champions League produced a 4-3 win for Inter and then a 3-1 win for Spurs. So there were goals flying around and then again when they met back in the 2013 Europa League there were more high-scoring affairs, with Spurs winning 3-0 at home and losing 4-1 on the road. It means that all four previous meetings have ended in a home win.
