Match Preview
Inter Milan are quietly going under the radar in the Champions League this season, but the Italian champions could feasibly be one of the standout selections to win the competition.
Inter have won each of their last four matches since playing out a goalless draw against Man City on matchday one. That form sees them sit second in the overall standings, and they are just two points off the pace being set by Liverpool.
Bayer Leverkusen have also enjoyed an excellent start to the Champions League this season, winning three of their five matches to sit sixth in the standings. Leverkusen’s chances will be boosted based on the fact that they have home advantage on Tuesday.

However, Leverkusen have suffered defeats in all three matches that they have played against Inter. That includes defeats in both matches in the 2002-03 group stage, suffering a 2-0 defeat in Germany against Inter.
Inter’s defensive record is well worth considering this week. The Italian giants have won each of their last four without conceding, and they could become the first Italian side since Juventus in 2012-13 to win five successive matches to nil in the competition.
Leverkusen will have a chance to secure a big win this week though. The Bundesliga champions have won seven of their last eight at BayArena since the start of last season.
Bayer Leverkusen vs. Inter Milan Picks
This is an interesting clash between two sides that could have chances of going deeper into the tournament. However, Inter’s impressive defensive record could be the important factor worth following this week. Therefore, the narrow preference is for the visitors.
