Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich predictions, odds, betting tips and team news
Inter Milan will host Bayern Munich at the San Siro on Wednesday, April 16th, for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie. The game kicks off at 20:00 and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2.
The Italian side managed a 2-1 win in the first leg with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Davide Frattesi, while Thomas Muller was on the scoresheet for Bayern in his final season with the club. Inter are the 1/3 favourites with most bookmakers to progress to the final four of the Champions League, and for those looking to get Bayern on-side, 9/4 is available.
Lautaro Martinez Anytime Scorer (15/8 with Sky Bet)
Champions League fans were treated to some incredible goals in the first leg ties, with one of those coming from Lautaro Martinez when he opened the scoring with a beautiful outside-of-the-foot finish.

The Argentine has been in excellent form in the Champions League and has scored on each of his last four appearances in the competition, including a hat-trick against Monaco in the final league phase game. Martinez has a further 11 goals in Serie A this season and can once again trouble the German defence on Wednesday.
Konrad Laimer to be Carded (7/4 with Paddy Power)
No player has been shown more cards in the Bundesliga for Bayern this season than Konrad Laimer, who looks a strong proposition to be carded in this clash. The Austrian averages a card every 175 minutes in the Bundesliga this season, with seven cautions in total. He has also been booked twice in the Champions League and found his way into the book in the DFB-Pokal earlier in the campaign.

How both teams go into Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich
In the Bundesliga, Bayern have been their usual imperious selves and currently sit top of the league by six points with six games remaining. They've hit a couple of speedbumps along the way recently, falling to a defeat against Bochum and only managing a draw against Union Berlin but they got back to top form in the two games since, beating St Pauli and Augsburg, scoring six goals in the process.

Bayern will still be confident that they can turn this tie around after the 2-1 defeat in the first leg. The final is being held at their Allianz Arena this term, but they have not shone in the competition like in other years. Kompany's side finished 12th in the group stage with five wins and three defeats, so had to go through the knockout phase play-offs. There Bayern were drawn against Celtic and needed a late equaliser in the second leg to avoid extra-time, taking the tie 3-2 on aggregate. Things were a bit more straightforward in the last 16 though, as Bayern beat German rivals Bayer Leverkusen 5-0 across the two legs.
This game sees a repeat of the 2010 final, when Inter last lifted the trophy. The Italians have been tough to beat in the Champions League this season, finishing fourth in the group with six wins, one draw and one defeat. They boasted the toughest defence in the group, conceding just one goal. They conceded one goal in the last 16 too, but that came with a 4-1 aggregate victory over Feyenoord. They now hold the upper hand after their 2-1 win in Germany, and with an impressive defensive European record, they will be confident of seeing the job through.
Inter hold a six point lead at the top of Serie A, although their closest rivals Napoli have a game in hand. The side have picked up four wins from their last five games, with a draw against Parma being the only thing keeping them from holding a perfect record coming into this game.
Inter Milan team news
After missing the first leg, Denzel Dumfries could be back for Inter by the time this game comes around, but Stefan de Vrij remains a doubt.
Bayern Munich team news
Bayern should have Manuel Neuer back in time for this game, after Jonas Urbig played in goal in the 2-1 defeat against Inter a few days ago. Alphonso Davies is out for the season with an ACL injury, while Dayot Upamecano is also sidelined until the summer.
Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan head-to-head
This will be the 11th meeting between these two sides, with Bayern and Inter most recently facing off in the 2022-23 Champions League group stage prior to this quarter-final. Bayern hold the advantage with five wins to four, but Inter do have the 2-0 victory in the 2009-10 Champions League final.

Russell Martin wants ‘powerful' connection between his Rangers side and fans
Russell Martin believes Rangers will 'take some stopping' if they can harness an energy and connection between players, supporters and everyone else associated with the club. The Ibrox head coach is determined to ensure that process takes shape in his first match in charge against Panathinaikos on Tuesday. Rangers take on the Greek side in the first leg of the Champions League second qualifying round at Ibrox and Martin hopes fans can quickly see the dominant, intense, aggressive team that forms his vision for his reign. The former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager said: 'Every day I wake up and I'm honoured to be in this position. I feel extremely grateful for it. I'm excited by it and I will give it absolutely everything I've got. We all will. 'That's what this club demands, what the people demand, what the supporters demand, who will outstay all of us. I just want to put a team on the pitch that they are proud of. 'It has to start (on Tuesday) and they have to see something to be excited about and we have to see something to be excited about. The players have to feel something to be excited about and it's an amazing opportunity and game to do that. 'What we've seen in training has been amazing. They've come with fresh energy, with willingness and openness to new ideas, to new demands, to maybe different rules to what they've had before and they've been great the way they've embraced it. 'And now the biggest challenge for them is to do it in front of 50,000 people with a game that means so much to so many people. And, for any football player, I think it's the biggest test to be yourself in those situations. 'What we have seen over the last four weeks, the more chance we have of being successful. I hope they play with the same freedom, enjoyment and aggression and willingness to run. 'For the team, it will accelerate the learning. That will improve, whatever happens, there's no doubt about it. 'But I think one of the things that has to come out is that the supporters will leave feeling positively about their team, their new-look team, the way it's going to start to shape up. 'We'll be by no means the finished articled, there's a lot of work that needs to go in, but in four weeks from what we've seen to now, the group has been great and they have to put that on the pitch. 'I hope that the fans will leave feeling excited about what's to come and (there will) start being a real connection. Because I think if we can be connected, the whole club, Ibrox, here, the supporters, if this club has that, with that energy, I think it's going to take some stopping. I think it's really powerful. 'But we have to all believe in something and that will be how much the players are willing to win, the hunger, the character, the desire to show. And I'm confident that we'll see that.' Martin's demand that his team play out from the back will ensure a different style to what Rangers fans have been accustomed to and the former Scotland hopes they can buy into that process. 'There will be times where it won't require much patience and there will be times where it will,' he said. 'It's not all going to be plain sailing, there will be some bumpy moments but we have to make sure that everyone can understand and see what we are trying to achieve and that the team has enough moments that people can feel excited about.'

Transfer market: Ademola Lookman has no interest in Atletico Madrid
Clearly, Ademola Lookman has only one club on his mind this summer. The Nigerian has no interest in Atletico Madrid. Despite recent interest from Los Colchoneros, Ademola Lookman is focused solely on Inter Milan this summer. In fact, the 2024 African Ballon d'Or winner has already reached a verbal agreement with the Nerazzurri on a five-year contract, with a reported salary of €5 million per season. Atletico reportedly made an approach in recent days according to AS, but did not pursue negotiations with Atalanta or the player's representatives. The Spanish club is well aware that Lookman has other priorities. Atalanta are demanding between €50 and €60 million for the player, partly due to a 15% resale clause owed to RB Leipzig. Inter, meanwhile, hope to finalize the deal on a loan with an obligation to buy, and do not want to exceed €40 million.
