Our prediction for this Champions League match
After cruising past Verona (5-0) in their last Serie A game, Inter will look to extend their winning run in the Champions League to four games when they welcome Leipzig to their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday. The Nerazzurri have been impressive at the back this season and you should know that they are eyeing their fifth consecutive clean sheet in the elite competition. Francesco Acerbi has joined Hakan Calhanoglu in the recovery room, with Stefan de Vrij likely to step up. Key attacker Lautaro Martinez is back to contention after missing the trip to Verona through illness.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems in a 4-3 loss to Hoffenheim at the weekend. As Leipzig failed to impress in the Champions League defeat to Celtic (1-3) as well, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Leipzig’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Elmas, Poulsen, Raum, Schlager, and Simons.
How the bookies view it: More misery for RB Leipzig
With Rose’s side in such poor form, they are outsiders for this one at 11/2 with Pogo88. Inter Milan are 4/9 favourites and the draw pays 7/2.
Players to watch: Out to make his Marc
Frenchman Marcus Thuram should start up front for Inter Milan and he has been in decent form this season, with a weekend double in the rout of Verona taking his tally to 10 for the season. The target man is 11/10 at Jilipark to add to his tally here.
Benjamin Sesko’s goals have been one of the few rays of light for RB Leipzig in the Champions League this season. The Slovenian has netted three times already and looks a little overpriced at 10/3 with Jilipark to grab another goal.
Probable line-ups
Inter Milan are sweating on the fitness of Hakan Calhanoglu after the midfielder picked up a thigh injury on international duty with Turkey. Francesco Acerbi is also set to miss out after going off early on in the weekend win over Verona.
RB Leipzig have a longer injury list, with El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Yussuf Poulsen, Eljif Elmas, Xavi Simons, David Raum and Xaver Schlager still sidelined.
Inter Milan: Sommer, Dumfries, De Vrij, Pavard, Bisseck, Zielinski, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Darmian, Thuram, Martinez.
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi, Geertruida, Orban, Klostermann, Henrichs, Nusa, Haidara, Baumgartner, Kampl, Openda, Sesko.
