Real Madrid vs Inter Milan Preview and Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid come into this clash on the back of four wins in their last five matches. Their near-perfect run was broken by a narrow 0-1 defeat to Real Betis in La Liga on Friday.

Manager Jose Mourinho must be disheartened that despite having 58% possession, Los Blancos conceded a late goal and could not mount a comeback. Their attacking players were in imperious form but lacked the finishing touch and could not breach the Betis defense.

The team recorded a whopping 20 shots, including eight on target, made 51 touches in the opposition box, and produced an xG of 3.46. Star striker Kylian Mbappe’s missed penalty did not help matters.

Madrid have a long list of injured players, which includes Raul Asencio, Ferland Mendy, Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni, Endrick, Rodrygo, and Thiago Pitarch. Bernardo Silva, Eduardo Camavinga, and Arda Guler, meanwhile, are suspended.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Inter Milan (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Cucurella, Huijsen, Konate, Dumfries; Bellingham, Valverde; Vinicius, Diomande, Diaz; Mbappe.

Inter Milan Team News

Inter Milan’s form has been better than that of their opponents: they have won each of their previous five matches, kept two clean sheets, and scored 11 goals. Most recently, they overcame Napoli 3-2 in Serie A.

Lautaro Martinez scored a brace, with his second goal eventually proving to be the winner for Inter. He recorded the most touches (14) in the opposition box and took the most shots (six). Right wingback Andy Diouf impressed with his speed and accuracy. He also created a game-high seven chances and completed 90% of his passes.

Central defender Manuel Akanji, meanwhile, stood out with his ability to mark his opponents closely, winning every single one of his ground duels. He also recorded 100% accuracy on long balls and played a vital role in spreading play from the back.

The Nerazzurri will have to make do without new signing Djed Spence due to injury.

Inter Milan predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (3-5-2): J. Martinez; Bastoni, Akanji, Bisseck; Dimarco, Sucic, Barella, Zielinski, Diouf; L. Martinez, Thuram.

Real Madrid vs Inter Milan Prediction

  • Pick: Real Madrid to win
  • Odds: -156 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Inter Milan

At home, Madrid will be hard to beat. They have won three of their last four meetings with Inter at Bernabeu, drawing the other. Overall, Los Blancos have won six of their previous seven encounters with Inter, either home or away.

Despite suffering a narrow loss to Betis, Real Madrid’s recent form has been impressive: they scored 13 goals in the four matches prior to that loss, two more than Inter have managed in their last five outings.

Real Madrid vs Inter Milan Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Kylian Mbappe to score
  • Odds: -145 (20Bet)

Mbappe is in excellent form, having finished the 2026 FIFA World Cup as its leading goalscorer. The Frenchman has already scored four goals in four La Liga appearances this season, averaging one per outing.

Most importantly, he won the Golden Boot in the UEFA Champions League last season with 15 goals in 11 matches. The missed penalty against Betis should only strengthen his resolve to find the back of the net against Inter.
