Betting Preview
Liverpool’s Champions League campaign has swung wildly between big highs and brutal lows. Their emphatic win over Real Madrid was quickly overshadowed by a humbling 4-1 defeat to PSV at Anfield, a result that equalled a 96-year-old club record for home losses by three or more goals in a single season. That setback left the Reds outside the top-eight positions in the league phase and raised fresh questions about their direction.
A three-match unbeaten run has steadied the ship slightly, but draws against Sunderland and Leeds, including a last-minute equaliser conceded at Elland Road, show the inconsistency remains. Off the field, tensions hit boiling point when Mohamed Salah, unused at the weekend, publicly criticised the club and insisted his relationship with manager Arne Slot had broken down.

Despite the turbulence, Liverpool now turn to a historically favourable matchup, chasing a fourth straight European win over Italian opposition. But form and momentum are firmly with Inter.
Even though Inter also lost their last Champions League game, a narrow 2–1 defeat at Atletico Madrid, it was hardly a crisis moment. Before that, they were perfect in the competition and remain level on points with European heavyweights Bayern, Real Madrid and PSG. Domestically, they have surged since the Atletico setback, winning three straight matches by an 11-1 aggregate and crushing Como 4-0 at the weekend.

Liverpool did win 2-0 at San Siro in 2021/22, but Inter have since turned their home ground into a fortress, winning 10 of their last 11 Champions League games there. Given Liverpool’s instability and Inter’s confidence, the Italians enter Tuesday’s clash as deserved favourites.
Recent Form & Stats
- Inter Milan Form: Recent games show strength, with comfortable Serie A wins and solid showings in the Champions League. Their back line has conceded few goals, and their home records in Europe remain exemplary.
- Liverpool Form: Mixed at best. Defensive frailties and morale issues have weighed heavily. Their last European outing ended in a poor showing, and recent domestic results have done little to restore confidence.
- Head-to-Head: Across the last six European meetings: Liverpool 4 wins, Inter 2 wins, no draws.
- San Siro Advantage: Inter remain unbeaten at home in their last 18 Champions League home games (W15 D3), the longest ongoing home run in this season’s competition.
