Barcelona v Inter Preview
Barcelona’s Form
A new era at Barcelona Football Club, with it being close to half a decade since the departure of club icon Lionel Messi. While the Argentine’s departure leaves an irreplaceable hole, along with his supporting cast. This new iteration of their squad looks as exciting as ever, but to a different end with Yamal, Torres, Raphinha and Fati revolutionising their style of play to one which can also play on the counter with pace, along with dominating possession like they usually do.
The 23/24 season promised so much early days, but ultimately culminated in a trophyless season. However, this season has been an entirely different story with victories already in the Supercopa and at the weekend in the Copa del Rey, both coming against bitter rivals Real Madrid. They also lead La Liga being 4 clear again of their rivals with 5 games remaining in the season. With this tie to look forward to, a quadruple isn’t beyond the realms of possibility in the closing weeks of the season.
Barcelona continue to adapt seamlessly to any challenges, with Torres slotting in for Lewandowski in recent weeks. However, it’ll be interesting to see if there are heavy legs following their extra time tie at the weekend against Real Madrid.

Inter’s Form
Inter were dominant winners of the Serie A last season, coming 19 points clear of their bitter rivals Milan. They were also Supercoppa winners, though their Champions League Round of 16 elimination was disappointing after reaching the final in 2023. In recent weeks, their season has begun to fall off, losing in the Supercopa in January 2-3 against Milan, losing again to them in the Coppa Italia 1-4 on aggregate and now in Serie A, they trail Napoli by 3 points with 4 games remaining.
At the weekend, their miserable run of form from recent weeks continued when they lost at home 0-1 against Roma. Despite being dominant in possession with 70% of the ball, the chances created were largely minimal, with 17 shots only amassing an XG of 1.10. Roma scored 1 goal from an XG of 2.8. That win means only 7 points accrued in their last 5 Serie A matches.
While their form has been questionable in recent weeks, at least domestically, they’ve always been reliable in European competitions. Rule them out at your peril, the likes of Bastoni, Barella and Martinez would make most sides in football if not all.

Key Players To Watch
Ferran Torres – Barcelona
The electric winger by trade has been excellent since signing from City in 2022 and will offer something very different on Saturday Night. His electric pace, elite dribbling ability and link-up play will be the perfect foil for the likes of Yamal and Raphina.
Ferran Torres first goalscorer – 9/2
This season, he has 18 goals and 4 assists, which translates to 1.19 goal contributions per 90. He is 9/2 to score first in this game and 5/4 to score anytime.
Lautaro Martinez – Inter
The Argentinian Striker and Inter Captain is one of the most underrated footballers in European Football, despite a record of 27 goals and 7 assists from 44 matches in all competitions this season. This season, he has been less prolific but remains effective with 21 goals and 6 assists in 46 games across all competitions.
Lautaro Martinez anytime goalscorer – 5/2
He can be gotten at 8/1 to score in this game first and 5/2 to score any time in the game.
Barcelona v Inter Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Inter
The Catalan side will be riding high following the weekend and will look to take another step toward a treble.
Inter may have lost at the weekend, but they’re one of the best equipped tactical sides to face this Barcelona side.
The home ties will be crucial here to decide who qualifies, and I think Barcelona do enough here to win.

Barcelona win & under 3.5 goals – 13/8
