Leverkusen have lost just once at home this season
Inter are yet to concede in this season’s Champions League
The Nerazzurri won the last head-to-head in Germany 2-0, back in 2003
Inter can keep record intact in tight contest
Inter Milan have been one of the strongest teams in this season’s league phase of the Champions League and they will be expected to put out another impressive performance when they travel to Germany to face reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
The Nerazzurri have won four of their opening five continental matches – the only blemish on their otherwise perfect record being a goalless draw at Manchester City on matchday one – and Simone Inzaghi’s men are currently on a 13 match unbeaten run, with 11 of these results ending in victory.
Leverkusen have also enjoyed a promising European campaign, winning three of their opening five matches and losing just once, and are currently on a five match winning run in all competitions – including a memorable 1-0 victory over Bayern in the DFB-Pokal.
While the hosts are in strong form, they will be without strikers Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick for this contest through injury and these absentees could hamper their chances of victory. Both sides have proven to be difficult to beat this season and so a draw looks the smart bet, with our prediction being a 1-1 tie.
