Inter and Arsenal Gear Up for a Direct Clash

Attack, attack, and plenty of goals—that’s the scenario of the UEFA Champions League matches this season. What we expect in mid-week is no different as Inter Milan faces their guests, Arsenal, who have met only twice in continental competitions.
Notably, in these two encounters, each team emerged victorious on the other’s team home stadium, with goals flowing freely, particularly when Arsenal triumphed 5-1 at their opponent’s turf during the 2003-2004 season.
However, this time the challenge may be tougher, as the “Nerazzurri” have kept a clean sheet in all three matches they have played so far, reinforced by the presence of their outstanding Swiss goalkeeper, Yann Sommer, who boasts an impressive record of not conceding a goal in 7 out of the 10 Champions League matches he has played.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, which has failed to score in their last four matches played on Italian stadiums, faces a challenging encounter on multiple levels, especially after suffering a loss to Newcastle United (0-1) last Saturday in the local league. The London team will strive with all its might to secure a victory over Inter Milan to soothe their fans and continue competing for direct qualification spots, currently sitting in ninth place with 7 points.
On the other hand, Inter enters the match with high spirits after winning against Venezia (1-0) in Serie A, narrowing the gap with league leaders Napoli to just one point. The “Nerazzurri” will aim to capitalize on the momentum of their recent victory by defeating Arsenal to stay in the competition for direct qualification spots to the Round of 16, currently sitting in seventh place with 7 points.
Here are some indicators that will help you predict the winner and win with “Betway”:
Arsenal has failed to score in their last four away matches in the Champions League in Italy (drawing once and losing three times). The last player to score for them there was Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor, during a 2-0 win against Milan in March 2008.
Only five teams have faced more shots in the Champions League this season compared to Inter (53), yet they have maintained a clean sheet three times, which is notable considering they have never kept four consecutive clean sheets in their European history.
Inter’s Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer has achieved a clean sheet in 7 out of the 10 Champions League matches he has played with the Italian club, boasting a clean sheet percentage of 70%, the best for any goalkeeper with 10 or more matches in the competition.
Only Atalanta (4) has faced fewer shots on goal in the Champions League this season compared to Arsenal (5), which has also maintained a clean sheet three times so far; the last time they achieved four consecutive clean sheets was in November 2007.
All of Arsenal’s goals in the Champions League this season have come in the first half. In the second half of matches, they have managed only 9 shots, which is the second-lowest number after the 8 recorded by Sporting Braga of Portugal.
During the first three rounds of this season’s Champions League, the two players who applied the most intense pressing were Iran’s Mehdi Taremi from Inter and Germany’s Kai Havertz from Arsenal (211 each). Additionally, Havertz made the most pressures in the final third during this period (92).
