In a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarterfinal matchup, Bayern Munich will host Inter Milan in the first leg on Tuesday. Bayern Munich enters the game leading the Bundesliga and having won their last four matches in all competitions. However, they will be without several key players due to injury. Inter Milan, currently topping Serie A, will be looking to extend their impressive 10-game unbeaten run.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. ET at Allianz Arena in Munich. Betting odds favor Bayern Munich as the -110 favorites for the 90-minute match, while Inter Milan are the +290 underdogs. A draw is priced at +250, and the over/under for total goals is set at 2.5.
Expert analysis suggests focusing on Bayern`s potential scoring challenges. Bayern Munich will be missing midfielder Jamal Musiala due to a hamstring injury sustained in their recent league victory. This absence could impact Bayern`s attacking prowess, especially considering Inter Milan`s strong defensive record in the Champions League, having conceded only one goal in eight matches. Inter Milan progressed to the quarterfinals by defeating Feyenoord 4-1 on aggregate, highlighting their defensive solidity this season.
Despite Inter`s strong defense in the Champions League, they have conceded goals in several of their recent games, keeping only one clean sheet in their last six matches. Both teams boast formidable attacking lineups. Inter Milan`s attack is spearheaded by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, while Bayern Munich`s offense is led by Harry Kane and Michael Olise.
Leroy Sané is highlighted as a key player for Bayern Munich, expected to step up in Musiala`s absence. Sané has been in excellent form recently and is considered a strong candidate to score or assist in the match.
