Man City vs Inter preview

Manchester City have very fond memories of Champions League ties against Inter.

Granted, they’ve only faced them once in this competition. But that was a memorable one with Rodri’s only goal in the 2023 final clinching European success for the club for the first time.

Given the way they’ve started this season, they’re rightly favourites to win it again this season.

They’re the only side with a 100% record after four games and Erling Haaland has nine goals in that time. Yup, 9.

Inter are unbeaten themselves in four games in Serie A but have dropped points in both away games at Genoa and Monza.

This is a little bit of a step up on those two.

Man City vs Inter betting tips and predictions

Head and shoulders above

Man City tips? They have to centre around Erling Haaland.

Scoring two goals, hat tricks, 1st scorer – the value is starting to get less for punters, and for good reason!

So finding that him scoring with his head – something he’s done 11 times in his 72 Premier League games – is at a decent price will absolutely do for us!

Gun’s blazing

Ilkay Gundogan’s City return was a big boost to Guardiola and co, as the German is a big game player.

This, here, is a big game. And his late runs into the box and general build-up play is going to be a key weapon for the home side.
