In the first leg, Inter Milan defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 at home, with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi. Martinez has been in excellent form for Inter, scoring in his last two Champions League appearances and in two of his preceding three Serie A games. Bookmakers have him as the favorite to score for Inter at +180. Marcus Thuram, who scored in both Round of 16 legs and is Inter`s top domestic scorer, is priced at +210 to score. While Inter boasts strong attacking options, their defense has been particularly impressive this season. They conceded only once during the Champions League group stage and have allowed just two goals in the knockout rounds so far. Domestically, Inter has conceded a mere 32 goals in 31 games and has suffered only one home defeat in Serie A.
Bayern Munich faces significant challenges due to a lengthy injury list, diminishing their chances of overturning the deficit in the second leg. Key players Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano, and Alphonso Davies are unavailable for this match, along with veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. This places increased pressure on Harry Kane, Bayern`s leading scorer in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. Kane, with scoring odds of +120, scored three goals against Bayer Leverkusen in the Round of 16 and has two goals in his last three Bundesliga matches. Thomas Muller, who scored in the first leg of this quarterfinal, is expected to start for Vincent Kompany`s team and is priced at +380 to score.
