Inter Team Analysis
Inter is in its second Champions League semi-final in three seasons and fourth overall. It has won its last two semi-finals, including a dominant display against AC Milan last year. That victory took its semi-final record to six wins and three losses historically in this competition. Domestically, Inter’s title defence remains alive after beating Verona 1-0 with a rotated squad last weekend.
That win closed the gap on Serie A leaders Napoli to just three points with three games left. Now, their focus shifts to Barcelona, aiming to reach a fifth Champions League final. The Nerrazuri have progressed in 15 of 21 UEFA ties after first-leg away draws, though they lost the most recent.
Inter Line-Up Prediction
Lautaro Martinez and defender Benjamin Pavard remain doubtful due to fitness issues.
Possible starting lineup: Sommer; Bisseck, Bastoni, Acerbi; Dumfries, Calhanoglu, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.

Barcelona Team Analysis
Barcelona remain in contention for a treble, having already secured the Spanish Super Cup earlier this season. They also triumphed over Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final and currently top La Liga. Following a 2-1 victory over Valladolid, they now sit four points clear with four games left. Barcelona has won 24 of their last 30 matches, showing strong momentum in all competitions.
Their only loss in that stretch came against Dortmund in a second leg, which was already decided. This marks their 13th Champions League semi-final, level with Bayern and trailing only Real Madrid’s 17 appearances. However, Barça have lost three of their last four at this stage, including to Liverpool in 2019.
Line Up Prediction
Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde remain sidelined, while Robert Lewandowski nears a return and may feature on the bench.
Possible starting lineup: Szczęsny; Garcia, Cubarsi, Araujo, Martinez; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Raphinha, Olmo; Torres.

Inter vs Barcelona Betting Tips & Predictions
After checking the recent trends and forms of both teams, these are our top Inter vs Barcelona tips:
- Inter To Win or Draw @ 1.53 (1/1) odds — Barcelona’s Inter remains difficult to beat, especially when playing at the iconic San Siro. They are unbeaten in 15 straight UEFA home games, with 12 wins. Historically strong in the semis, Inter have won nine of their last 11 home ties. Despite Barcelona’s form, they’ve managed just one win in five visits here. We expect Inter to avoid defeat again on home turf.
- Total Goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.50 (1/2) odds – A six-goal thriller lived up to the expectations of a UCL night classic last week in Spain. We expect another feast of goals again in the second leg, primarily due to the attacking talents of both teams. Four of their last five meetings have yielded more than two goals. So, we expect another outcome of over 2.5 total goals in this decisive match.
- Raphinha To Score Anytime @ 2.62 (5/3) odds – Raphinha has thrived under Hansi Flick, becoming Barcelona’s top scorer this season across competitions. He leads the Champions League scoring chart with 12 goals, including five away strikes. The Brazilian recently netted against Real Valladolid, his 31st goal of the campaign. Raphinha also had 16 La Liga goals, eight more than last season. We expect him to continue his scoring spree on Tuesday night.
