International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Inter and Real Madrid are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Inter and Real Madrid.
These teams have little in common geographically as Real Madrid have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Inter form and stats
Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the group stage.All-inclusive Serie A results at home this season for Inter are 1-0-0 (wins-draws-losses). In general it's been a long time since Inter tasted defeat here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, as they have taken at least one point from their last 18 home games in the league.
Inter travelled for their previous game, a trip to Sampdoria that ended 2-2. Lautaro Martínez, a striker, was the highest rated player for the team in that game, earning a rating of 7.41 (out of 10). Martínez scored one goal.
Before that match, a Serie A win away at Hellas Verona.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Inter have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won one, drawn zero and lost one.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Bologna are visiting.
Inter has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
Real Madrid form and stats
They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the semi-finals, when Chelsea drew the shortest straw.Real Madrid are happy with their away performances in the La Liga so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. Things are running smoothly for Madrid who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 22 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Levante.
Madrid are travelling after their nice 5-2 home win in the La Liga against Celta de Vigo. Attacker Karim Benzema got a player rating of 9.84 in the game. "Man of the match" Benzema scored three goals, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 36 successful passes (of 42 total). As you can tell from the result, the match against Celta de Vigo was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Karim Benzema certainly enjoyed Madrid's last game versus Celta de Vigo, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 5-2 victory.
Prior to that result Madrid won their away game at Real Betis in the La Liga. The scoreline was 1-0.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Real Madrid playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were two Real Madrid wins, one draw and one defeat.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The La Liga trip to Valencia.
