Barcelona vs Inter Milan Preview & Tips


Barcelona arrive for their Champions League semi-final on the back of a 5-3 win over Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals.

  • Head To Head
  • Barcelona Form 
  • Inter Milan Form 

Inter Milan squeezed past Bayern Munich in the last round as they secured a battling 4-3 win on aggregate. 

  • Barcelona are unbeaten at home in Europe (W5, D1)
  • Inter’s only defeat in Europe this season came on the road against Bayer Leverkusen 
  • Robert Lewandowski has scored 11 Champions League goals this season 

Head To Head


Barcelona have won five of their last 10 against Inter, with the Italian side winning twice and three games ending as draws. 

Barcelona Form 


Barcelona will know the value of building a commanding first-leg lead after they were given a real score by Borussia Dortmund in the last round. 

Leading 4-0 after the first-leg, Barca eventually beat their opponents 5-3 on aggregate after losing the second-leg 3-1. Had they have struggled to score goals in the first-leg, then they might have been eliminated in the last round. 

Robert Lewandowski was vital in Barca’s aggregate win as he scored twice, and I back him to continue to score goals as he leads the Spanish side to a first-leg lead. 

Inter Milan Form 


Inter Milan continue to defy expectation, with the Italian side now just two matches away from potentially appearing in the Champions League final. 

Inter Milan built their aggregate win over Bayern Munich in the last round on a 2-1 win in Germany before they held on to secure a 2-2 draw in the second-leg. While they were hardly comfortable, they got the job done, which is all that really mattered. 

Now, they face a Barcelona side that is flying. Avoiding defeat in this match would be a huge positive, but I do not predict that they will be able to down Barcelona on their own patch. As long as the margin of defeat is no more than a goal, Inter will have every chance of stunning their opponents in Italy. 

Verdict

I am backing Robert Lewandowski to secure another goal as he leads Barcelona to what could prove a crucial first-leg win.
