Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Preview
Inter are well-known for their strong defense led by Head Coach Inzaghi. They managed to keep Manchester City from scoring in their first match of the season, and now they are aiming for their third win in a row in the tournament. The reigning Serie A champions produced a strong 4-0 win against Red Star Belgrade before securing a tight 1-0 victory over BSC Young Boys on matchday three. Marcus Thuram stepped up as the star player, scoring in the dying moments of the second half. Lautaro Martinez’s header helped Inter defeat Venezia in their most recent game.
Arsenal is on a three-game stretch without a win in the Premier League. The club is facing a big blow with the news that their award-winning sporting director Edu will be leaving. This comes as Arteta is getting ready to say farewell to one of his key supporters, just when he needs them most. Arsenal managed a narrow 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in their third match of the Champions League. This result brings their points total to seven from three games in the 2024-25 season, placing them ninth in the 36-team standings. Notably, the team has not allowed any goals against them in Europe so far this season.
Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Team News
Inter faced a bit of a scare in their match against Venezia when Alessandro Bastoni had to leave the pitch with 20 minutes left in regular time. Fortunately, it seems he was just dealing with cramps and should be okay for Wednesday’s match. Inzaghi will likely be missing only Carlos Augusto for the big match this week. The Brazilian left-back is sidelined with a hamstring injury and won’t return until after the international break. However, Federico Dimarco, who has been impressive, is the top choice for that position.
Odegaard is close to returning from his ankle injury and is aiming to play at San Siro. However, Arteta didn’t give a clear answer about his chances after the loss to Newcastle. The Gunners will be without defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), and Riccardo Calafiori (knee) for their match in Milan. However, Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes have recovered from their injuries and played this weekend. White was only given minutes off the bench, but he will undoubtedly be a contender to start the match on Wednesday.
Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Possible Starting Lineups
Inter Milan: Sommer (GK), Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni, Dumfries, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Dimarco, Taremi, Martinez

Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Prediction
Arsenal has had some ups and downs this season and will need to bounce back as they head into this match. Arteta’s team didn’t impress in their match against Newcastle United over the weekend and will have to sharpen their finishing for the game on Wednesday. Inter Milan has shown strong defensive skills in the UEFA Champions League and will face a tough rival this week. The two teams are closely matched, and this game could easily end in a tie. Our prediction: Inter Milan 0-0 Arsenal
