Champions League Predictions This Week
Inter Milan vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips
Inter and Real Sociedad square off on Tuesday night in a match that will decide who clinches the top spot in the group. Inter have home advantage and Simone Inzaghi’s side should throw the kitchen sink at this.
The previous meeting between these sides in the group finished 1-1 and Sociedad were able to restrict the amount of chances Inter created but this encounter in Italy should play out differently. Both sides are level on 11 points and a draw would be enough for Real Sociedad to stay ahead of their rivals.
The Basque side have been solid at the back in this competition and they will look to hold firm in the early stages here. This will mean they invite pressure and Inter should be able to rack up the shots.

Last season’s beaten finalists have had 21 and 17 shots in their Champions League group games at the San Siro this season. They have a new-look attack with Marcus Thuram partnering Lautaro Martinez and the duo have looked dangerous. They hammered Udinese 4-0 at the weekend and they lead the way in Serie A so they are full of confidence coming into this crunch clash.
Inzaghi’s side are averaging 17.9 shots per home game in all competitions in this campaign. We can back them to have at least 16 at 4/5 with Unibet and that’s an appealing angle given that only a win will do. They have reached this mark in five of their last six matches at the San Siro; the exception was the draw with Bologna where they managed 14 shots.
Tip: Over 15.5 Shots For Inter @ 4/5 Unibet
20:00 Wednesday
Newcastle vs AC Milan Betting Tips
Newcastle and AC Milan’s Champions League hopes are hanging by a thread. Only a win will give either side a chance of qualification and they will be relying on Borussia Dortmund beating PSG elsewhere. The Europa League is also a worthy consolation prize should the Parisiens get the job done so expect to see plenty of attacking football.
Milan made it to the semi-finals of this tournament last season and a group-stage exit would be a real blow for the seven-time winners. Stefan Pioli’s side were on the front foot in the previous meeting between these sides and they will show plenty of attacking impetus despite playing away from home here.
Eddie Howe’s side have been exceptional at home this season.
They have won nine of their 11 matches at St. James’s Park in all competitions and are scoring 2.18 goals per game in the process. They had 22 shots in their last match at this ground.
However, Newcastle looked vulnerable in their recent matches against Tottenham and Everton. There were 32 and 34 shots in those. This bet has won in their last four matches with an average of 33 shots per game.
Milan’s Champions League matches so far this season have seen an average of 29.8 shots per game and there has been at least 28 in four of them. There were 31 shots in the previous head-to-head with Newcastle.
