FC Barcelona Team Analysis
The Culers are enjoying a remarkable period after their 3–2 comeback win against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. They continue to lead La Liga with 76 points after 33 matches. At present, they are one of only two top-flight European teams, alongside PSG, still in contention for a Treble this season.
Barcelona will aim to take control of this tie early by playing on the front foot in the first leg. We anticipate an attacking style for much of the match. With Inter struggling across competitions, Hansi Flick’s side holds the advantage in this encounter.
Line Up Prediction
Marc Bernal, Robert Lewandowski, and Marc Casado are unavailable for this game. Left-back Alejandro Balde could feature if passed fit.
Possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Martin, Martinez, Cubrasi; Pedri, De Jong, Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Torres.

Inter Milan Team Analysis
Once seen as having the potential to claim a Treble, Inter have squandered their chances badly. They are out of the Coppa Italia after a surprising 3–0 defeat to city rivals AC Milan. They have also dropped six points in the league in recent weeks, giving Napoli the advantage in the title race.
At this point, their only remaining pursuit is the Champions League. Considering their away record against Barcelona, it is hard to envision them coming away with a positive result. Still, this is football, and Inzaghi’s side could yet pull off an unexpected outcome in Spain.
Line Up Prediction
Benjamin Pavard and Valentín Carboni are injured. Marcus Thuram could return to the squad if fit.
Possible starting lineup: Sommer; Acerbi, Bastoni, De Vrij; Di Marco, Dumfries, Mkhitaryan, Çalhanoğlu, Barella; Arnautović, Martinez.

Barcelona vs Inter Betting Tips & Predictions
Here are our top Barcelona vs Inter betting predictions for this match:
- Barcelona to Win @ 1.62 (2/3) –With so much working in their favour at the moment, we are backing Barcelona to win this tie. Historically, Inter have struggled when visiting Barca, and their current struggles only add to the challenge. Inter’s defence has found it difficult to keep clean sheets, while Barcelona are scoring with ease. As a result, we expect Flick’s side to secure a victory.
- Total Goal: Over 2.5 @ 1.55 (5/9) – In 12 Champions League matches so far, Barca have scored 37 goals while conceding 17. At that rate, they are averaging 3.1 goals per game and allowing 1.4 goals per match. Four of their last six games have followed a similar pattern, ending with over 2.5 goals. We do not expect them to adopt a cautious approach as they welcome Inter to the Stadio Olímpic Lluís Companys.
- Both Teams To Score: Yes @ 1.61 (3/5) – Barca have been conceding heavily in the Champions League this season due to their attacking approach. Meanwhile, Inter have proven their ability to find the net in the competition. Inzaghi’s men have scored 19 goals in 12 matches, averaging 1.6 goals per game. With Barcelona likely to push for a win, the Nerazzurri should have plenty of opportunities to score, and we expect them to make the most of their chances. So, we are saying yes to both teams scoring.
Final Thoughts & Recommended Picks
