Barcelona come into this match after a 1-2 La Liga win to defeat Real Valladolid in their most recent match.

In that game, Barcelona had 81% possession and 24 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. For Barcelona, goals were scored by Raphinha (54') and Fermín López (60'). On the other side, Real Valladolid got 5 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Iván Sánchez (6') scored for Real Valladolid.

Demonstrating their involvement in fruitful encounters, goals have been seen as many as 24 times in the previous 6 games in which Barcelona have played, making it a mean average of 4 goals per clash. Their opponents have got 11 of these goals. That trend won’t necessarily be continued here, however.

📰 Team News: Inter Milan

Benjamin Pavard (Ankle sprain) and Valentín Carboni (Cruciate ligament tear) are not available for Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi.

In all likelihood, Nerazzurri will possibly opt for a 3-5-2 formation for the game featuring Yann Sommer, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Denzel Dumfries, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Mehdi Taremi and Lautaro Martinez.

📋 Team News: Barcelona

Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness worry for the Barcelona gaffer Hansi Flick to contend with. José Gragera (Toe injury) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that Barça seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Wojciech Szczesny, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Ferran Torres.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Barcelona have the ability to create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.

However, Inter Milan could well find it tough to break down their defence, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be hitting back at some stage, too.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 1-3 margin for Barcelona at the end of this one.
