Command Analysis
Inter
ItalyCurrent form
Inter approached the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the top eight, and in general Simone Inzaghi team was considered one of the main favorites of the tournament. The Nerazzurri started with a goalless draw against Manchester City, demonstrating that they were more than determined; at that time, the Citizens were in excellent form and one point at the Etihad was a serious achievement for any team.
Overall, Inter justifies its status in the Champions League quite confidently and played only one weak match – in the sixth round against Bayer. In 90 minutes, the Nerazzurri did not hit the opponent’s goal once and lost 0:1 to the pharmacists. At the moment, the Italian champion occupies the fourth place in the table with 16 points and a draw will be enough for the hosts to secure a ticket to the playoffs.
In Serie A, Inter were also considered clear contenders for the title, but were forced to play catch-up throughout the first half of the season. The Nerazzurri currently sit second in the table with 50 points, three points behind leaders Napoli, but with a game in hand. Atalanta are also a threat, trailing by four points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Calhanoglu, Correa and Acerbi are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Inter have won four of their last five matches.
- Inter have conceded in their last two home games
- Inter have conceded goals from Monaco in three of their last four matches
Probable line-up: Sommer - Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni - Darmian, Frattesi, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco - Arnautovic, Taremi.
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
Before the start of the league stage, Monaco was among the contenders for a place in the top eight, but was not a clear favorite in the upcoming battle. The red-whites started with a bright and largely sensational 2:1 victory over Barcelona at home, demonstrating that they are determined and have a task, and most importantly, have the opportunity to get to the 1/8 finals directly, without participating in the playoffs.
Overall, Monaco looks quite decent in the league stage, but two defeats in a row from Benfica (2:3) in the fifth round and Arsenal (0:3) in the sixth round did not allow them to approach the last match in the top eight. At the moment, Adi Hütter team occupies the 10th place and only by additional indicators lags behind the eighth Bayer - there will be plenty of motivation today.
In the French championship, Monaco expected to at least fight for the second line, but so far it occupies the third place in the table with 34 points. The red-whites are already 13 points behind the leader PSG and the championship race is most likely already over, but three points behind Marseille allow them to count on silver. Having beaten Rennes 3:2 in the last round, Monaco broke a long series of four matches without victories in the championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Balogun, Ilenihena and Singo were injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have won their last two matches
- Monaco have scored in their last five matches
- Monaco have conceded in seven of their last eight matches
Probable line-up: Majecki – Wanderson, Salisu, Kehrer, Henrique – Zakaria, Golovin – Akliush, Minamino, Ben Seghir – Embolo.

1.89Tip and bets
Inter have almost secured a ticket to the 1/8 finals and today the lineup will clearly be far from the main one - there is a derby against Milan ahead and the hosts' coach will probably save the key players. Monaco, in turn, will probably try to take advantage of this, the red-whites only need a victory, the visitors will clearly be traditionally aggressive in attack. Considering the strong motivation of Monaco, as well as serious rotation in the Inter lineup, it makes sense to assume that the red-whites will not be left without goals scored today.
We believe that the hosts will not remain dry. Betting Tip - individual total of Monaco more than one goal . Such a bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.35
Bet on the outcome
Inter will play Milan in a derby in a few days and this match will be a priority for the Nerazzurri, the Serie A championship race is in full swing, and the hosts have practically already solved their tasks in the Champions League. Monaco is quite capable of clinging to points today, but at the same time, beating even the least combative Inter squad on their home field will be very problematic, a draw will be enough for the Nerazzurri today, the hosts will certainly hold on to this result, if necessary, strengthening the game with substitutions, in certain situations, such an outcome may also suit the guests.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 4.35
Bet on corners
Inter are the favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Monaco will also take risks and are capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.99
