Inter News and Form – Can Inter get a qualifying win against Barcelona?
A win will guarantee that Inter Milan get through to the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League. They will head into their final match level on points with Borussia Dortmund, but topping the head to head with the Germans. Antonio Conte’s men have won two of their last three games in the group after a rough start to the campaign, having taken one point from their first two games. But in the bigger picture of things, those two wins have been their only ones in their last nine UEFA Champions League games (D3 L4).
So far on home soil in this group, Inter have played out a 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague and a 2-0 success over Dortmund. Inter have only lost one of their last nine European home games, however (W5 D3) which was against Eintracht Frankfurt in last season’s round of sixteen. So they have a pretty decent record going at the San Siro. They have not lost any of their last nine home games against Spanish opposition either (W3 D6). They have only lost one previous home game against a visitor from Spain. But then home and away, Inter have claimed one win in their last eleven against teams from La Liga (D4 L6).

Barcelona News and Form – Will Barcelona take it easy in Italy?
Barcelona haven’t lost a group stage fixture in the Champions League for over three years now. So even though they haven’t got anything at stake to play for in this fixture, they may not be easy for Inter to beat. A home win over Dortmund in their last match sent Barcelona through to the next round of the competition, taking their tally of points to 11. Out on their travels in the group so far they have taken a W1 D1 record. That is just one of five wins that Barcelona have managed in their last 15 away games in the competition (D6 L4).
Their away record in Italy is nothing spectacular either, standing at W6 D11 L7. Barcelona have failed to win any of their last eight trips there, drawing five of those. Considering that they may well not be at full strength, the draw in the match outright does have appeal. If they avoid defeat at the San Siro then it will be their 13th group stage campaign in the competition where they have remained unbeaten. The Catalans have lost only two of their last 28 UEFA Champions League fixtures (W17 D9). They have also remained unbeaten in 19 group stage matches (W13 D6)
