Inter take on the visitors Arsenal in the round 4 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 6th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter doesn’t look as confident as last season. Under Simone Inzaghi, Inter has generally performed well, especially given the financial struggles of its Chinese owners, which reached a peak earlier this summer. Last season, the Milan club had a fantastic Serie A campaign, securing the “scudetto” comfortably and ahead of schedule. However, they’ve faltered somewhat this season, dropping points in the very first round. While they’ve stumbled in Serie A, the “Nerazzurri” have looked solid in the Champions League. They opened with a goalless draw against Manchester City, then defeated Red Star in a dominant display at San Siro, and recently clinched a hard-fought 1-0 win against Young Boys in Switzerland, thanks to a late goal from Marcus Thuram.

Last season, the Gunners finally returned to the Champions League after a long absence and performed well, confidently winning their group. However, they fell to Bayern in the playoffs. In the Premier League, they once again finished behind Manchester City, but this time by only two points. In the current campaign, Arsenal is battling not only with City but also with Liverpool, notably drawing 2-2 against both rivals. In the Champions League, they started with a goalless draw against Atalanta but managed clean wins in their last two games. They comfortably beat PSG 2-0, but their match against Shakhtar was less impressive, with the lone goal coming from a fortunate own-goal after several deflections. After Trossard’s missed penalty late in the game, Arsenal nearly conceded but ultimately secured another 1-0 win and three more points.
These teams faced each other in the 2003 Champions League, each winning an away match. At the 2007 Emirates Cup, the Gunners secured a 2-1 win. The chances for either team to win appear almost equal. However, neither side is likely to push for an open, high-scoring game, so a “total under 2.5 goals” seems likely.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
