Inter take on the visitors RB Leipzig in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, November 26th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Inter Milan, the reigning Serie A champions, have experienced a slight dip in dominance compared to last season when they secured the Scudetto with matches to spare. While their domestic campaign has seen them blend into the title race pack without standing out, their performances in the Champions League have been highly impressive. Under Simone Inzaghi, the "Nerazzurri" began their UCL group stage campaign with a 0-0 draw at Manchester City, followed by three consecutive clean-sheet victories: a 4-0 demolition of Young Boys and narrow 1-0 wins over Young Boys and Arsenal. These results reflect Inter's defensive solidity and efficiency in converting opportunities at critical moments. Their defense has been rock-solid in the Champions League. Their attack, while not prolific, is highly efficient in crucial moments.

RB Leipzig, a rising force in German football, continues to show ambition and potential under Marco Rose. Domestically, they’ve been strong, even halting Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak. However, their Champions League journey has been nothing short of a disaster. The "Red Bulls" have lost all four group matches, including defeats to Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, and a surprising 1-3 loss to Celtic in their latest outing. Their struggles in Europe are starkly at odds with their Bundesliga form, raising questions about their ability to handle top-tier continental competition. Their inability to handle elite opposition in Europe has been glaring this season. Poor defensive organization and missed chances upfront have been their undoing.
This will be the first-ever competitive meeting between Inter Milan and RB Leipzig, adding an element of intrigue to this clash. Inter’s form and consistency, particularly in Europe, make them clear favorites for this encounter, especially at San Siro. Leipzig’s defensive vulnerabilities in the Champions League are likely to be exploited by Inter’s clinical attack, led by Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram. Inter to win comfortably, with a bet on a handicap of -1 goal offering value.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -1.0 handicap.
