Match Preview
It has been a professional display by Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage, as the Italian giants have already assured their progression through to the next round. Inter will need to pick up a fourth straight success on Wednesday in order to keep alive their hopes of a top-place finish in Group D.
Benfica’s race to reach the knockout stage of the competition has already been run, as the best that they can manage is a third-place finish. The Portuguese giants have lost each of their four matches in the competition this season, and they have conceded seven times, and have scored on just one occasion.

Meanwhile, Benfica are winless in all six European matches that they have played against Inter. Over that period, they have suffered four defeats, with two matches ending in draws. However, Inter have landed just two wins on their previous eleven trips to Portugal.
Benfica’s home record in the Champions League would be a huge concern ahead of this match, as they have lost each of their last three without scoring a goal. They haven’t endured a longer winless run without finding the net since September 2018. The Portuguese side could also lose five games on the bounce for the first time since 2018 on Wednesday.
Benfica vs Inter Milan Prediction
It has been a forgettable Champions League campaign for Benfica, and more misery could be piled on this week. Inter are unbeaten in six previous clashes with Portuguese opposition, and we could see their strong record against sides from the nation continuing on Wednesday.
