Let’s check the latest Champions League predictions, stats, injury reports, and Champions League betting for Barcelona vs Inter Milan.
Barcelona: Unbeaten at home
Barcelona failed to progress through the group stage in the Champions League last season, and the club is facing that possibility again this term. After two defeats in a row, they are sitting third in Group C with just three points picked up in three games.
This is by far the most difficult group in the Champions League with two of the three European giants – Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Inter – fighting for two qualifying spots. The Bavarians currently lead the charge with a perfect record after three games, so this match is a must-win for Barcelona in order to keep their qualification hopes alive.
Barcelona has plenty of injured players, Andreas Christensen, Memphis Depay, Franck Kessie, Jules Kounde, Hector Bellerin, and Ronald Araujo are out for this one, giving Xavi Hernandez a major defensive headache. Barcelona is once again leading the Spanish top-flight league, level on points with Real Madrid but with a better goal difference ahead of this weekend’s El Clasico at Bernabeu. However, Xavi’s team cannot afford to look past Wednesday’s huge European affair.
Barcelona has the best attack and the best defense in La Liga with just one goal allowed in eight games. The hosts have scored 13 goals in their last four home games and we expect them to extend their brilliant home record across all competitions. That’s why we will include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
Inter Milan: Struggling on the Road
Inter Milan progressed through the group stage of last season’s European Cup but was beaten by Liverpool in the round of 16. They have not made it past the first knockout round of the competition since reaching the final eight in the 2010-11 season.
They aim to retain second place in Group C, but seeing that Xavi’s troops are a real force to be reckoned with at home, you shouldn’t back Inter Milan on Wednesday if you’re betting online. Romelu Lukaku faces a race against the clock to be fit for the match while Joaquin Correa, Dalbert, and Marcelo Brozovic are sidelined with injuries.
Inter, sitting seventh in the Serie A standings, pulled off the upset last week against Barcelona and they doubled that with a 2-1 win against Sassuolo. Assuming Bayern beats Viktoria Plzen this week, Inter must at least return home with one point in order to secure their second position in the standings.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan Head-to-Head
Inter Milan suffered a 2-1 defeat when they last traveled to Camp Nou in the group stage of the 2019-20 campaign. Barcelona has lost three of their last six Champions League matches in front of their own fans, which is a record that should hand the visitors confidence. Robert Lewandowski is the top scorer at Barcelona by some distance, but he failed to score in five of his last seven appearances for his club and country. The reverse meeting between Barcelona and Inter Milan produced just one goal, with the Italian giants winning on home soil.

Barcelona vs Inter Milan Prediction
The Catalans enter this clash as heavy favorites at -230 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at three.
Barcelona should win here because they have a better squad and also a great home record. On top of that, both teams are hit by injuries so we might see a high-scoring match. Barcelona is in a must-win situation so they will definitely have an attacking approach while Inter is more than capable of finding the back of the net. We predict a lot of drama and at least three goals scored in the match so we will combine the moneyline with the goals market.
