Inter Milan vs. Barcelona: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Barcelona and Inter Milan put on a spectacle in Spain last week as the pair tied 3-3 in an end-to-end match. 

However, an injury to the Italian side's star man could be crucial and the La Liga club may secure the road win they need to move on to the UEFA Champions League final.

Inter will feel they missed an opportunity to get the better of Barcelona last week after they went 2-0 up within 21 minutes against Hansi Flick's men.

However, superstar starlet Lamine Yamal helped inspire a comeback for the Catalan club and level the tie at three goals apiece coming into this second tie.

Inter Milan vs. Barcelona betting picks and predictions

Barcelona to qualify (-143)

Barcelona have been one of the most exciting teams in soccer this season and they showed that once again in the first leg between them and Inter. However, their attacking style leaves their games open and Inter capitalised, going 2-0 up early.

But, Yamal helped his side roar back into contention with a 24th-minute goal and they levelled it up through Ferran Torres on 38 minutes. Denzel Dumfries scored his second of the game to put Inter up once again before a Yann Sommer own-goal restored parity and left this tie delicately balanced going into the second leg.

There was one major issue for the Italian side from the first game. Star striker Lautaro Martinez limped off with a muscle injury and looks unlikely to feature in this crucial clash.

The Argentinian has eight goals in this year's UEFA Champions League and provides a spark to the Nerazzurri offense that will be lacking in his absence.

By contrast, Barca have been dynamic all season long, netting 40 goals in just 13 games in this competition and 91 in 34 in La Liga.

With the combination of wingers Yamal and Raphinha they are set to cause problems for Inter all night long and could wear down their hosts, who are solid defensively.

Simone Inzaghi's side are no pushovers. They have only lost once in this competition all season, and could even take this game to extra time or penalties, but Barcelona's attacking might may be too strong and they are the pick to qualify at -143

Lamine Yamal anytime goalscorer (+210)

The performances of youngster Yamal were always going to lead to comparisons to Lionel Messi and he produced a showing that the Inter Miami star would have been proud of in the first leg of this UEFA Champions League semifinal.

His trickery and pace caused constant issues for the Inter defense, and he netted the crucial goal that turned the tide of the game in the 24th minute.

Yamal has scored 15 goals and registered 20 assists in all competitions already this season, and five of those goals have come in this tournament.

He is already leading the way to win the Ballon d'Or, the award for the best men's soccer player in the world, and can make his case even stronger with a goal in this second leg.

The Spaniard made Federico Dimarco's life extremely tough in the first leg and he is expected to do so again. 

Alessandro Bastoni: Over 2.5 Tackles (-120)

Dimarco's issues could lead to problems for the player behind him, Alessandro Bastoni.

Bastoni usually covers his Italy teammate from the left of Inter's three-man defense and averages 1.39 tackles per match in the UEFA Champions League.

However, Yamal's quick feet mean he always seems to beat the first man and the Inter stopper made three tackles in Barcelona.

He can match that total on Tuesday.
