Head-to-head
Inter and Liverpool have met twice in competitive games, with both meetings coming at this stage of the Champions League in 2008. Liverpool won both legs, 2-0 and 1-0 with Fernando Torres scoring the winner in Milan.
Prediction
Inter have been great in Serie A throughout the season. Simone Inzaghi’s men are more than capable of winning today’s game, with Inter putting up big performances in Serie A this season. However, Liverpool might be a step higher than Inter in terms of performances. Comparing the quality of players on each side and their respective form coming into today’s game, a win for Liverpool is the most probable outcome.
