For detailed projections and expert picks for the Bayern Munich vs. Inter Milan match, refer to SportsLine. Expert Jon Eimer has provided two selections for this second leg quarterfinal.
In the first leg, Inter Milan secured a 2-1 away victory with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi. Martinez has been in excellent form for Inter, scoring in his two most recent Champions League appearances and in two of his last three Serie A games. He is favored by oddsmakers at +180 to score again in this match. Marcus Thuram, who scored in both Round of 16 legs and leads Inter in domestic goals, is listed at +210 to score. While Inter boasts strong attacking options, their defense has been particularly impressive this season. They conceded only one goal in the Champions League group stage and have allowed just two in the knockout rounds so far. Domestically, Inter has conceded only 32 goals in 31 matches and has suffered only one home defeat in Serie A.
Bayern Munich faces significant challenges due to a lengthy injury list, diminishing their chances of overturning the deficit in the second leg. Key players Jamal Musiala, Dayot Upamecano, and Alphonso Davies are all unavailable for this match, along with veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. This puts increased pressure on Harry Kane, Bayern`s top scorer in both the Bundesliga and Champions League. Kane, with scoring odds at +120, scored three goals in the Round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen and has two goals in his last three Bundesliga matches. Thomas Muller, who scored in the first leg of this quarterfinal, is expected to start for Vincent Kompany`s team and is priced at +380 to score.
