The UEFA Champions League is back with a massive fixture this week as Bayern Munich lock horns with Inter Milan on Wednesday. Both teams have excellent squads at their disposal and will want to win this game.
Bayern Munich are currently in third place in the Bundesliga standings and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The Bavarians were held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin in their previous game and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Inter Milan are in eighth place in the Serie A table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Nerazzurri suffered a 3-2 defeat at the hands of AC Milan over the weekend and have a point to prove in this match.

Team News
Inter Milan: Inter will miss the services of Romelu Lukaku as the striker has sustained a thigh injury. Edin Dzeko might start alongside Lautaro Martinez in attack after finding the net in the Milan derby.
Inzaghi might shake up his squad a bit which could see Alessandro Bastoni being relegated to the bench in favour of Federico Dimarco. While, Robin Gosens might start on the left flank ahead of Matteo Darmian.
Hakan Calhanoglu and Nico Barella may be joined by Henrikh Mkhitaryan in midfield with Denzel Dumfires on the right flank.
Bayern Munich: Leon Goretzka has returned for Bayern Munich after a prolonged knee injury which allows Nagelsmann to have his entire squad at his disposal.
Manuel Neuer will start in goal and will most likely be shielded by a back four of Benjamin Pavard, Matthijs de Ligt, Dayot Upamecano, and Alphonso Davies. Marcel Sabitzer and Joshua Kimmich should slot in as the two defensive pivots with Kingsley Coman, Thomas Muller, and Leroy Sane positioning themselves in the attacking third.
Sadio Mane is likely to play as a sole striker upfront.
Prediction: Bayern Munich have an exceptional squad at their disposal but have managed only two points from their last two league games. The Bavarians have been fairly wasteful over the past month and will need to be at their clinical best in this fixture.
Inter Milan have a few defensive issues to resolve and cannot afford to slip up this week. Bayern Munich are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Score Prediction: Inter Milan 1 - 2 Bayern Munich
