Inter vs Barcelona Betting Tips - BTTS/Over 2.5 Goals
Another dramatic, entertaining and likely high-scoring Champions League contest should be on the cards as Inter and Barcelona battle it out in Milan.
Simone Inzaghi's side surprised many by putting in a superb showing in Spain to emerge with a well-deserved 3:3 draw from the first-leg at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. In an end-to-end contest, both teams created numerous opportunities, and a similar affair seems likely with neither side protecting an advantage from the tie in Spain.
Sharing six goals should have been little surprise given the high-scoring nature of both teams' recent matches, especially in the Champions League. Goals are usually guaranteed when Barcelona are in action, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals landing in five of their last six matches, and in six of their eight most recent UCL fixtures.
Over a longer period, Hansi Flick's side have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in six of their last seven away UCL contests, and I expect more of the same on Tuesday.
While Inter are not quite as attack-minded as the visitors, each of their last four UCL matches saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored. Simone Inzaghi's men failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches at the San Siro, and they seem unlikely to repel a rampant Barcelona attack.
In the end, it's tough to pick a winner, but another enthralling contest is likely to deliver plenty of goals at both ends.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals is my best bet at the San Siro.

Goalkeeper Marc Ter Stegen is available after he made his return from injury on Saturday, but may have to settle for a place in the bench.
