Will Inter Milan continue to soar?
Inter Milan are having a very good season overall, not only in the Champions League but also in the domestic league. The home side will now be looking for another win against Real Sociedad.
However, their opponents could well make things complicated for the Nerazzurri. However, the Inter Milan vs Real Sociedad prediction of the bookmakers shows a favorite role for the home side. Nevertheless, it won’t be easy
Inter will definitely want to play their typical game, control the ball, let their opponents run at times and then quickly change the tempo. Based on the signs, our Inter Milan vs Real Sociedad betting tip is that the home side will not lose and that fewer than 3.5 goals will be scored
Inter Milan – Statistics & current form
Inter Milan must win their final home game of the Champions League group stage to clinch first place. That is the big task facing coach Simone Inzaghi’s team. The first leg was already very competitive, with the Basques showing their quality very well in a 1-1 draw. Winning the group would of course give Inter a home game in the second leg of the round of 16, which is a small but not negligible advantage.
The mood at the Nerazzurri is very positive. At the weekend, they recorded an unchallenged 4-0 win against Udinese Calcio, followed by a 3-0 victory over Napoli. Inter lead the Serie A table, with only Juventus able to keep up to some extent. The Inzaghi side have only conceded one defeat so far this season, at home to Sassuolo.
They have also done well in the top flight so far. Three wins, two draws and two games without conceding a goal indicate that the balance is largely right. This is an elementary factor anyway, as the home side have only conceded a total of seven goals in Serie A. With good stability, the foundation has already been laid
Inter Milan: Hard to break down
The fact that Inter have only lost once so far this season speaks volumes for the Nerazzurri. The team is difficult to play against and always finds solutions in attack with Lautaro, Thuram and co. No one is surprised that the Inter Milan vs Real Sociedad odds point to the hosts as favorites.
One question will be whether Inzaghi rotates a little. But even the Italians’ second string is well-stocked. And winning the group remains the goal, so a powerful team should be on the pitch. Inter have only been beaten once in their last twelve Champions League games and are also looking very good at home, having won six of their last seven group games.
Taking all the signs into account, our prediction for the match between Inter Milan and Real Sociedad is that the home side will not lose and that fewer than 3.5 goals will be scored.
Predicted line-up for Inter Milan:
Real Sociedad – Statistics & current form
Many of the positive things that were said about Inter Milan can also be said about Real Sociedad. The visitors have a very good team and a clear style of play that sets them apart. Coach Imanol Alguacil has done a great job and put together a team with top players such as Le Normand, Zubimendi, Merino, Kubo and co.
This team will be hoping that they can now hold their own at the San Siro and win the group. The problem: Inter have a good home record, but Real Sociedad do not have a good record against Italian teams. Only one of seven games has been won. One or two players have also looked a little exhausted of late.
Nonetheless, there was a commanding 3-0 win at the Ceramica at FC Villarreal at the weekend. In the table, everything looks very good, La Real are in fifth place and still have their sights set on the top four. What’s more, players like Oyarzabal have turned up the heat recently. Seven competitive games without defeat speak for themselves
Real Sociedad: compactness, but not at any price
Real Sociedad have conceded 18 goals in the domestic league so far, only eight of them away from home. The Basques play a little more compact and balanced away from home anyway, but not at all costs. Depending on the alignment, forward play can be risky. There are games with plenty of goals, as well as games without the big spectacular scenes. That’s why the Inter Milan vs Real Sociedad betting odds show that the bookmakers are divided on whether it will be a high-scoring game.
The visitors have won both away games in the group stage so far. That is not a matter of course in Lisbon and Salzburg. That is why Alguacil’s team are certainly expecting something. Perhaps it will be a more open game than many expect. That’s why our value tip ahead of the match between Inter Milan and Real Sociedad is that both teams will score.
