Betting Predictions For Man City vs Inter
Here are our Man City vs Inter betting predictions:
Man City To Win @ 1.53 (1/2)
2 (67%)
(33%) 1
Aside from a brief scare against Brentford in the opening 23 minutes, City has exhibited dominance throughout the campaign. They have been prolific offensively, averaging 16.5 shots per game with a high accuracy rate of 6.3 on target. Their ability to create scoring opportunities is evident in their average of 3.3 big chances per game, resulting in 2.8 goals in each match.
While Inter Milan has also displayed impressive form, they are behind City. Inter has faced the challenge of conceding first in their drawn matches. Also, they have struggled to win when on the road this season. So far, they have created a respectable 3.5 big chances per game. However, they’ve missed two big chances in each of their games. Given City’s ruthless attacking form, they are favorites to win this clash. The Citizens have Champions League 24-25 odds of 1.53 (1/2) to win this game.
Both Teams To Score: Yes @ 1.66 (2/3)
3 (100%)
0
Despite being dominant this season, City has conceded three times in three Premier League games. Interestingly, all their conceded league goals have come within the first 20 minutes of their games. Inter has also conceded three times in their four games this season. However, those goals came in their two away matches. Given this stat and no pressure on both sides in the opening round, we expect both teams to score in this clash. It is important to note that Inter Milan has always found the back of the net in all of their clashes. Given the quality of their attack, we expect the Nerazzurri to convert one of their chances on Wednesday.
Anytime Goal Scorer: Erling Haaland @ 1.83 (4/5)
2 (50%)
(50%) 2
Erling Haaland is the man of the moment, and anything he touches turns into goals. The Norwegian attacker has been deadly up front for City, scoring nine goals in four games. Surprisingly, Haaland has only converted 45% of his chances this season. The striker will lead the line for City in this clash and is a solid option to score anytime.
