Leg 1 : bOTH tEAMS tO Score
Whether or not this bet lands looks likely to come down to if the visitors can get on the scoresheet. No Premier League side has come close to Man City’s goalscoring this season, with the reigning champions scoring 11 times in four games.
At the Etihad last season, they failed to score only once in 27 games, against Arsenal in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s side created at least 1.0xG in 23 of their 24 home clashes with expected goals stats available, so Inter keeping a clean sheet here would be a huge shock, not least with Erling Haaland in the best form of his City career, bagging nine of his side’s 11 goals.
City conceded in 19 of their 27 home games in all competitions last season and have allowed a goal in each of their last three games this season. Inter meanwhile have bagged nine goals in four games this season, scoring in all four. They have seen both teams to score land in two of their four games and last season this bet would have landed in three of their four away ties in the Champions League.
LEG 2 : Rico Lewis to have 1+ shot
On the teamsheet at right-back but finding himself in the attacking third more than some of City’s midfielders, Rico Lewis looks overpriced to have a shot here.
The 19-year-old has started all four of City’s games this season, but lasted just 45 minutes against Brentford. Josko Gvardiol took over in the second half in a move that suggested the manager was managing the minutes of both players ahead of this crucial clash in midweek.
Lewis did not have a shot in that first half showing against Brentford, but he was playing out of position on the left. He has now had at least one shot in three of his last four starts for club and country, and in each of the three of the starts in which he lasted 90 minutes.
He started six times in last season’s Champions League, taking at least one shot in five of these six starts. Lewis is deployed as an extra man in attack for Man City, creating a six-man front line. That will be tough for Inter’s five-man defence to deal with, and if they do not pick him up, he will happily get a shot away.
LEG 3 : Over 2.5 Inter corners
Inter have hit this line in all four of their Serie A games this season, averaging 6.25 corners per game across these matches. Last season, in the Champions League, they only failed to clear this line in two of their eight games.
The only away game in which they did not hit this line was their Round of 16 clash with Atletico Madrid where they were defending an aggregate lead until the 87th minute, so game state played a large role in their low corner tally. The Italian champions also had four corners when they met City in the 2023 Champions League final just over a year ago.
Man City, meanwhile, have allowed at least three corners in all but one of their league games so far, the only exception coming against newly-promoted Ipswich.
Despite an easy schedule featuring Young Boys, Red Star Belgrade and FC Copenhagen, City’s opponents cleared this line in four of their 10 Champions League games last season. They are in for a sterner test here, and this low corner line looks easily beatable for a side like Inter, who will be City’s toughest opponents so far this season.
Leg 4 : Over 1.5 Inter cards
Inter picked up at least two cards in five of their Champions League games last season, including three of their four away clashes. They saw three bookings when travelling to Real Sociedad and another three away to Atletico Madrid in the Round of 16.
They have also picked up two bookings in both of their away games in Serie A this season, whilst City have seen an average of 2.0 bookings per game for their opponents in the Premier League in 2023/24.
Last season Man City’s opponents also saw plenty of bookings, with only 43 of the 57 matches they were involved in seeing more than two cards shown to the opponents.
That record was even greater in the Champions League, where only one of City’s 10 games saw their opponents picking up fewer than two or more bookings. Across the campaign as a whole, their opponents picked up 2.2 cards per game.
It is also worth remembering that under this new format, every group game is much more important this time around, so the intensity should be higher than group games last season, leading to higher card totals.
