Inter vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

Unlucky finalist last year, Inter still retains a special status in this Champions League where they will have to be monitored very closely this season. Under the leadership of Christian Chivu, this transalpine team has so far won 4 of its first 5 matches played during this regular season. The Interists had even won their first 4 matches against Ajax 0-2, Slavia Prague 3-0, Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4 and against Kairat Almaty 3-1 before losing on the last day at Atlético Madrid 2-1. Despite this setback, the Lombards remain in 4th position in the ranking. In Serie A, the Nerrazzuri are in ambush in the title race. They will face Pisa and Como before hosting Liverpool. Opposite, Liverpool are going through a fairly unexpected crisis.

Everything started quite well for this team which had had a hell of a transfer window this summer. But the machine has stalled for the players of Mersey who have now been collecting heavy setbacks for some time and who do not seem to have the recipe to reverse the trend. The Reds began their European journey with a great victory against Atlético Madrid 3-2 before falling against Galatasaray 1-0. Arne Slot's players were then able to bounce back against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5 and Real Madrid 1-0 but they sank at home against PSV Eindhoven 1-3 on the last day, falling to 12th place in the standings. Also suffering in the Premier League, the residents of Anfield had suffered two big defeats against Manchester City 3-0 and Nottingham Forest 0-3. They will want to restart the machine against West Ham and Sunderland. 

On the Italian side, the indestructible Dumfries (right piston, 2 goals in C1), the important midfielder Mkhitaryan, the experienced defender Darmian and the replacement goalkeeper Di Gennaro will not be able to play this match. On the bench against Atlético Madrid as he returned from injury, Marcus Thuram (3 goals in SA, 2 goals in C1) could this time be associated with Lautaro Martinez (4 goals and 2 assists in SA, 4 goals in C1), which would push the young Frenchman Bonny (4 goals, 3 assists in S) to the sidelines. The other executives who make up the interist block should be aligned from the start like the defenders Akanji and Bastoni, the piston Dimarco (2 goals and 4 assists in SA) and the midfielders Barella (1 goal and 3 assists in SA) and Calhanoglu (5 goals in SA, 1 goal and 2 assists in C1). Liverpool should go to Giuseppe Meazza deprived of the full-backs Frimpong and Bradley, the disappointing playmaker Wirtz and the replacement defender Leoni who have all been in the infirmary for some time.

Hit in the back against PSV, French international Ekitike (3 goals in PL) is not guaranteed to be 100% for this meeting. Conversely, wingers Salah (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) and Gakpo (3 goals and 2 assists in PL) are available, as is Swedish international Isak (1 assist in PL) whose performance struggles to justify his summer transfer so far. Much less efficient than usual, the hinge Konaté Van Dijk should still start. 

• Summary: Inter U19 is going head to head with Liverpool U19 starting on 9 Dec 2025 at 15:00 UTC . The match is a part of the UEFA Youth League .
