Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Prediction: Preview and Analysis of the Match | Champions League

At the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan, the most unpredictable UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg is about to unfold: Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich. Despite their 2-1 win in Germany during the first leg, Inter cannot afford to relax—one goal is far from a comfortable cushion against a team like Bayern. Simone Inzaghi's side, boasting one of the best defenses in this year’s Champions League, must avoid conceding early to preserve the advantage earned at the Allianz Arena. On the other hand, the Bavarians—also leading their domestic league—are still grappling with key injuries. However, they’ve shown their attacking threat even without star midfielder Jamal Musiala, both in the first leg and in their thrilling Bundesliga clash against Borussia Dortmund. All signs point toward a tense, high-quality contest, with both teams expected to go all-in, much like in the exciting first leg.

Inter Milan's Recent Form and Key Stats

Inter Milan come into this match full of confidence after a 3-1 Serie A home victory over Cagliari, courtesy of goals from Arnautovic, Lautaro Martínez, and Bisseck. The Nerazzurri remain top of the league and are unbeaten in their last 12 games across all competitions (9 wins, 3 draws). Inzaghi rotated his squad wisely in the last match, resting seven regular starters including Dimarco, Pavard, Thuram, Acerbi, and Bastoni.

In the Champions League, Inter Milan topped their group with 19 points (6 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss), and comfortably eliminated Feyenoord in the Round of 16, winning both legs. Impressively, they are unbeaten in their last 14 UCL home matches and have conceded only once at home in this campaign.

Bayern Munich's Recent Form and Key Stats

Bayern Munich arrive after a dramatic 2-2 Der Klassiker draw against Borussia Dortmund. Coach Vincent Kompany, facing a long injury list, had to start many key players again. However, young midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović is back and could start alongside Goretzka.

Having finished 12nd in their UCL group, Bayern had to go through the playoffs—knocking out Celtic and then Bayer Leverkusen in the Round of 16. Away from home, Bayern have been inconsistent: 3 wins and 3 losses, with 10 goals scored and 10 conceded.

Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Tactical Overview

The first leg was tightly contested, with Bayern dominating possession but falling victim to a lethal counterattack finished by Frattesi. For the return leg, the Germans will push forward to level the tie.

Inter, particularly strong in European competitions, will rely on their well-rested defensive line and the attacking flair of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram. Dimarco returns on the left flank, offering width and creativity.

For Bayern, the absence of Neuer, Upamecano, Davies, and Musiala remains a big blow. Musiala will likely be replaced by either Müller or Guerreiro, with the latter slightly favored to start.
