- Inter Milan have won 1-0 in four of their last five Champions League matches
- Monaco have won one of their last eight away trips across all competitions
- Recommended bet: Inter Milan to win 1-0

Inter Milan have little pressure on their shoulders as the League Phase of the Champions League wraps up and they should be able to get past Monaco in Wednesday’s meeting.

The Nerazzurri are fourth in the standings and a point is all they need to secure a place in the last 16.

Opponents Monaco are also chasing a place in the top eight and this is a must-win clash for the Ligue 1 outfit.

Team news

Inter will be without both Hakan Calhanoglu and Raffaele Di Gennaro, while Francesco Acerbi is a doubt.

The hosts will likely shuffle around their starting XI, as they have done all season while juggling European football with their Scudetto defence.

Monaco have some key injury issues here as they are without forwards Folarin Balogun and George Ilenikhena, while defender Wilfried Singo will also miss out.

The stats

Inter have lost just one of their last 14 home matches in all competitions.

Monaco have conceded 10 goals in their seven League Phase fixtures in the Champions League.

Inter have the best defensive record in the Champions League, conceding just once across their seven matches.

The Nerazzurri have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight home European games, dropping points only once.

The Italian side have won 10 of their last 12 home games in this competition, with seven of those 10 victories finishing 1-0.

Prediction

While this is a must-win game for Monaco, their away record casts some doubt on their chances of a surge into the top eight.

The visitors have won just once across their previous eight away games in all competitions, while they have drawn 2-2 at Dinamo Zagreb and lost 3-0 at Arsenal in the Champions League.

Monaco did go to Italy and shut out Bologna in a 1-0 win, but they will find this Inter side a tougher nut to crack.

The hosts have conceded just once in this season’s Champions League, which is the best record across the 36 teams in the League Phase.

Inter have won 20 of their last 25 games in all competitions, including nine wins from their last 11. In the Champions League, they have won five of their last six games to nil.

While a point would be enough for Inter, they should have chances to catch a desperate Monaco side on the break. A single goal tends to be enough for the Nerazzurri, who have won 1-0 in four of their last five European games.

The hosts have also won 10 of their previous 12 Champions League home matches, picking up seven 1-0 wins during that period and that same scoreline can land again.
