We're backing extra time in tonight's Champions League semi-final between Inter Milan and Barcelona.
20:00 Tuesday
After last week's 3-3 thriller, there is all to play for in the second leg of this Champions League tie.
Inter vs Barcelona Prediction
- Inter did well to claim a result at Barcelona last week, and followed that up with a 1-0 win over Verona to end a five-game winless run.
- The Nerazzurri claimed a narrow win the last time these two met at San Siro back in 2022.
- Barcelona came from behind to maintain their title push at Real Valladolid on Saturday night.
- The Blaugrana make the trip to Milan having won nine of their last 10 away matches. With home advantage, Inter should claim a result that'll send this one to extra time.
Score Prediction: Inter 1-1 Barcelona

Inter vs Barcelona Team News
- Lautaro Martinez was forced off at the break in last week's 3-3 draw at Barcelona and while he sat out the weekend's win over Verona, the Argentine is pushing hard to make the squad.
- Even so, Marko Arnautovic and Mehdi Taremi are competing to deputise for the Inter skipper, with the latter potentially given the nod.
- Valentin Carboni and Benjamin Pavard are Inter's other two absentees, with Yann Bisseck set to continue in defence.
- Jules Kounde came off in the first half of last week's draw with Inter, with Eric Garcia likely to fill in at right-back in Milan on Tuesday night.
- Alejandro Balde was expected back for the weekend's 2-1 win at Real Valladolid, but has suffered a setback with Gerard Martin set to continue at left-back.
- Robert Lewandowski, Pablo Torre and Dani Rodriguez will be assessed, however Marc Casado and Marc Bernal are missing.

Inter vs Barcelona Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder tips for Inter vs Barcelona features Bastoni to be Carded, Thuran 1+ Shot on Target & Both Teams to Score.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 9/2 with bet365.
- Inter’s center-back Alessandro Bastoni is prone to a card, with 8 yellows and 1 red this season including 2 bookings in 11 Champions League matches. He’ll likely face Lamine Yamal, who draws 1.7 fouls per game and completed 7 dribbles last game. Bastoni will need to stop him this game and his aggressive defending could lead to a caution, especially in a high-stakes match.
- Thuram, despite injury concerns, played in the first leg and scored a stunning goal. He’s managed 1+ shot on target in 5 of his last 6 Champions League games. With Lautaro Martinez sidelined due to injury, Thuram will be Inter’s main attacking threat. Barcelona’s high line could leave spaces for him to exploit, especially on counters.
- Both teams scored in the first leg, with Barcelona netting three at home and Inter matching them. Barcelona have seen BTTS land in 9 of their 13 Champions League matches this season, while Inter’s last four Champions League games (vs. Bayern Munich x2 and Feyenoord) all saw both teams score. Inter’s home games in the Champions League have been tighter (3 goals conceded in 6), but Barcelona’s attack, led by Raphinha (12 UCL goals), is potent. Inter, despite recent struggles, have players like Marcus Thuram and Kristjan Asllani who can exploit Barcelona’s high defensive line as we saw in the first leg.
