Inter Milan vs Borussia M’gladbach Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

The replacement of Roberto Mancini with former Ajax boss Frank de Boer shortly before the new Serie A season contributes to the upheaval at Inter Milan, whose new owners will be expecting a much better season than last time out. Good additions have been made in the form of Antonio Candreva and Dodo, as well as reliable full-back Cristian Ansaldi, but de Boer has had almost no time to work with his squad ahead of this game.

It has been a fairly disastrous pre-season for Inter, who lost 3-1 to PSG and 4-1 to Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup, a tournament in which the Italians were shown to be completely out of their depth. As if those results were not bad enough, they were hammered 6-1 by Tottenham in their most recent game.

Pre-season has been much smoother at Gladbach, with their only major outgoing player Granit Xhaka replaced by Christoph Kramer as they seek to make an impact at the top of the Bundesliga again this year. Of eight pre-season games played by the club there have been seven wins, with Zurich’s 2-1 victory the only slip-up.

Although reading too much into pre-season results can be a trap, it is just impossible to side with Inter here given their recent thrashings, although the players will be out to impress de Boer as they are now all playing for their futures.

Instead, Borussia M’gladbach to Win at 7/5 with bet365 is the recommended bet for this match, with Borussia M’gladbach to Win 3-1 at 18/1 with bet365 picked out as providing solid value from the correct scores market.
