Key stats and predictions for Champions League Group Stage between Inter and Barcelona
It's no vacation for neither Inter nor Barcelona as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Inter form and stats
Inter participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the group stage.Inter have performed here at Giuseppe Meazza this season with 5 wins from 8 Serie A matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.
The points were shared in Inter's previous game, also at home. Visiting Roma travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against SPAL.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Inter matches with similar probabilities have ended with 0 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats (from one game).
A decent goal production from Inter in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 8 league matches. Inter have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Barcelona form and stats
Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the semi-finals against Liverpool.As the visiting team in La Liga matches, Barcelona have produced an overall stat of 4-1-3 so far. The fact that Barcelona have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Barcelona love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Barcelona are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the La Liga against Mallorca. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Atletico Madrid at their stadium, the result 1-0.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Barcelona, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? It's hard not to mention Lionel Messi's lethal finishing against Mallorca. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Barcelona playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.
Barcelona has another fixture away, a La Liga game, against Real Sociedad in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!
Barcelona find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. 9 goals have been conceded by Barcelona in these games.
Head 2 Head
