Team News

Inter
Barcelona
  • Joao Mario played a direct hand in three goals for Inter on Saturday and is surprisngly back in favour for the Italian side, though he is ineligible in the Champions League along with Dalbert and Roberto Gagliardini.
  • Inter have a clean bill of health heading into Tuesday's match against Barcelona and Luciano Spalletti will field his strongest XI.
  • Lionel Messi is back in training after fracturing his arm against Sevilla on October 20 but it remains to be seen whether he is fit enough to start. Samuel Umtiti is also closing in on full fitness but, like Messi, may not start here.
  • Rafinha is in favour ahead of Ousmane Dembele and Malcom to fill the void left by Messi if the Argentine is not risked from the start by Ernesto Valverde.

Prediction

  • Inter are second in Group B and five points clear of Tottenham and PSV despite losing to Barcelona last time out in the competition. The Serie A giants have bounced back from that 2-0 loss with successive wins by an aggregate scoreline of 8-0.
  • Barcelona have a perfect record in Group B after three matches and have won five matches in a row in all competitions. Their last two outings have been a struggle, however, only beating Leganes 1-0 and Rayo Vallecano 3-2.
  • Barcelona are guarenteed a place in the next round with three points, while Inter will go through if they win on Tuesday and Tottenham and PSV draw in the group's other match.
  • Inter are unbeaten in three home games against Barcelona (W1, D2). They are in great form at the moment and will be even more confident of getting a positive result if Lionel Messi is only named as a substitute.

  • Mah gawd Icardi

  • Guessed the score, won 50 cents

  • does barcelona win here if messi plays?

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown no

  • @stefanm of course not 0% chance as usual messi the most trash player to ever existed am i right?

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown you are very stupid and it seems you have no knowledge of football, you should honestly never talk about football EVER. Barcelona could have easily won if they had messi's passing and clinical finishing.didn't you see the game vs Tottenham, with the chances they got messi would have had a hatrick against milan. Messi is obviously the greatest player on the planet very far from trash you IGNORANT BUFFOON

  • @yourboy Barca played against Inter, not Milan you potato

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown yeah but Messi never scored against Inter

  • in your face valverde malcom score after 2 minutes best revenge from a player who has been unjustly marginalised

  • Seeing Handanovic 8.9 is more than enough to know what's happened in the game even without watching it.

  • @Pinchfire Yeah apparently Barca players can only shoot at the center of the goal

  • Dembele will score, if Barca will score ...

  • @neumi17 ...or his replacement

  • 2-2

  • INTER Handanovic , Vrsaljko , Skriniar , de Vrij , Asamoah , Vecino , Brozovic , Politano , Nainggolan , Perisic , Icardi SUBS Martínez , Keita , Valero , Miranda , Padelli , D'Ambrosio , Candreva

  • BARCA ter Stegen , Roberto , Piqué , Lenglet , Alba , Rakitic , Busquets , Melo , Dembélé , Suárez , Coutinho SUBS Semedo , Rafinha , Cillessen , Silva de Oliveira , Vidal , Aleñá , Brandáriz

  • This is what I think. It is true that Barcelona is a strong team. But the same team lost to As Roma another Italian side last season away by 3 goals to nil. They were eliminated despite the first leg match massive winning of 4-1.. the same can easily happen here.. Internationale are also in form. just remind me if it happens

  • @mosesicia barcelona were fatigued last season with little rotations and also they had a different formation that could not deal with pressing

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown I knew Barcelona would not win this even if they had 12players on the pitch.

  • @mosesicia why are you trying to piss me off...its not like barcelona did not dominate and they nearly won

  • @BarcaPlsLetMeDown there's nothing like nearly winning. a narrow win maybe..they drew.

  • Historical win in the history of inter milan

  • DRAW 1-1

  • With or without messi barca will win this game though BTTS is a way to go here....barcelona conceded some goals due to personal defensive errors on rayo vs barca game...i will go with barca win and both teams to score...infact over 2.5 goals score...suarez is so good now so expect goals....

  • Draw is worth a try

  • Betting on this match is very simple: Messi OFF - 1X. ; Messi ON - X2

  • Messi rating is 10

  • 0-0

  • Messi ll come off d bench

  • Inter 4:1

  • @manuint bro you read my mind

  • @shakes 1:4 is the correct score here. :)

  • barca are great. but they make lots of mistakes when you presss them hard. Its just that it needs lots of ernegy to press the whole game

  • @nceshNcero is there any team in the whole world that wouldn't commit errors when under constant pressure?

  • @pyt55 yeah. Man City

  • @Cannavaro69 yeah. that's why they don't beat Liverpool whenever they meet...

  • @pyt55 City never lost against Barcelona by 4-0

  • @GioMonaldo and why is that? maybe cause pep knows their game first hand? :)

  • i wonder what barca's formation gonna be like. Even if messi does not play, with a genious flexible mind like valverdes, inter are surely in for a big surprise... I mean they are totaly in the dark here.. How does inter prepare against a coach like this? LOL

  • If Messi doesn't play i predict 1-0 or 2-1 for Inter

  • Believe me or not, I am going for 0-0

  • Inter is doing well, I think it's not going to be easy for Barcelona

  • Messi should play if he is totally fit
