Manchester City vs Inter Milan Predictions

• Manchester City have won their last four games.
• The Citizens have conceded in four of their five matches this season.
• Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in his last four appearances.

Slow-starting Citizens find a way

The last meeting between these sides culminated in Manchester City lifting their first Champions League title and, after a flawless start to the season, the Citizens are backed to secure victory once more.

Pep Guardiola’s side have faltered at times this season, with Yoane Wissa’s first-minute goal on Saturday being the third time they have conceded first this season, but they waste little time in getting into their stride and they can transfer that form to the Champions League on Wednesday.

Inter stumble out of the blocks

Last season’s runaway Serie A champions have not started the 2024/25 campaign with the same vigour as their hosts, although they do remain a threat going forward.

Their 1-1 draw away to Monza on Sunday made it two wins and two draws from their opening four matches, with both those stalemates coming on the road. They have scored nine goals across this quartet, though, so they have every chance of troubling Manchester City’s seemingly fragile back line.

Haaland’s purple patch can continue

The hosts have won all four Premier League games this term and beat Manchester United on penalties in the Community Shield, but they have just one clean sheet so far and backing them to win and concede looks the best bet.

City have scored exactly twice in two of their four league games and Inter conceded two at Genoa in their opener last month, so a repeat of Manchester City’s 2-1 win on Saturday could be in store, while Erling Haaland remains worth backing in the anytime goalscorer market after notching nine goals in four games.
