Inter Milan vs. Bayern Munich: UCL Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

On Wednesday night, Inter Milan will host Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal, with a lead of 2-1. Last Tuesday, in a thrilling first leg at the Allianz Arena, Davide Frattesi scored a late winner, giving the Nerazzurri a slim lead heading back to San Siro.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

Inter secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in Bavaria, reclaiming the lead in the 88th minute after Thomas Müller briefly drew the hosts level. The victory extends Inter's unbeaten run to 12 games and marks their fifth consecutive Champions League win, putting them in pole position to face Barcelona—whom they beat en route to their 2010 treble—in the semifinals.

Simone Inzaghi's men have gone 14 Champions League games unbeaten at San Siro and are top of Serie A after a 3-1 win over Cagliari. Inter's treble dream remains alive with a Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against AC Milan on the horizon.

Historically, Inter have progressed in 21 of 23 Champions League ties after winning the first leg. However, despite a strong first leg, they'll be cautious after last season's exit to Atletico Madrid.

Bayern, meanwhile, have won just one of their last eight UCL ties after losing the first leg against Lazio last season. Their poor home record against Inter continues, with them losing all four meetings without scoring.

This defeat is Bayern's first at home in Europe since 2021, and pressure is mounting on Vincent Kompany, especially after a 2-2 draw with Dortmund and Leverkusen's surprise weekend loss.

Inter Milan vs. Bayern Munich Team News

Simone Inzaghi rotated his squad for the weekend fixture, resting key players like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alessandro Bastoni, and Marcus Thuram. Kristjan Asllani returns from a European suspension, while Mehdi Taremi is back from injury—but both are likely to start on the bench.

With Denzel Dumfries and Piotr Zielinski sidelined, Inzaghi must choose between a now-fit Federico Dimarco and in-form Carlos Augusto at left wing-back.

Jamal Musiala has been ruled out for the season on the Bayern side. Raphael Guerreiro—who impressed off the bench against Dortmund—could start again, while Thomas Müller, who scored last week, might continue as an impact substitute.

Young keeper Jonas Urbig will start in goal again, with Manuel Neuer not expected back until late April. Bayern's injury list includes Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, and Hiroki Ito. Despite Serge Gnabry's goal off the bench in Der Klassiker, Leroy Sané is expected to start, while Kingsley Coman offers another option for Vincent Kompany.

With another outstanding performance, Inzaghi's Inter could go to the semifinals, where they have become European champions of defensive stability.

Even though Bayern have an excellent record at San Siro, this mission seems rather challenging, and they will regret turning off late last week after tying the score.
