Inter Milan and Arsenal will put their unbeaten Champions League records on the line this week when they face off at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Wednesday night. Both these sides are on seven points and are separated by goal difference, with I Nerazzurri currently in seventh place and the Gunners in ninth. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The only previous time these European giants met was in the group stage at the 2003-04 edition of this competition and both games ended with the away side securing victory. Arsenal though, are winless and failed to score in their last four Champions League away games in Italy (W0 D1 L3) dating back to 2008 against AC Milan.
Despite having the oldest average team age in the competition this season (31 years and 139 days), Inter Milan’s solid defensive performances to date see them enter this match as the favourites, according to the bookmakers. To the key stats!

Inter Milan - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Inter Milan have built up solid momentum ahead of this headline fixture, with their 1-0 win over Venezia at the weekend marking their eighth consecutive match without defeat.
During that period, I Nerazzurri secured an incredible seven wins and a 4-4 draw against Juventus, while they have only suffered one defeat in 14 matches this season.
However, the benchmark of their success has been their defence, which has kept clean sheets in more than half of their matches across all competitions this season (eight in 14 games).
Inter and Arsenal are two of only three sides that are yet to concede in this season’s Champions League!
Meanwhile, Arsenal enter this match off the back of disappointment, having lost their last Premier League match to Newcastle United 1-0 over the weekend.
That result ended a three-match unbeaten run for the Gunners, which included a 1-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk in this competition. They drew goalless with Atalanta and beat PSG on matchdays one and two respectively.
However, the visitors have been struggling on the road, failing to win four of their last five matches, with a victory over lower-division Preston North End in the EFL Cup being the only exception.

Inter Milan & Arsenal Squad Analysis
Inter Milan received a significant injury boost over the weekend against Venezia, with midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu shaking off a knock to return to the squad, and he will be in line to start this one.
That means that the Serie A champions have just one confirmed absentee for this match in the form of Carlos Augusto (muscle injury), while Kristjan Asllani is flagged as a minor doubt.
Reports suggest that Arsenal’s captain Martin Odegaard could make his return from injury in this match!
Gabriel Magalhaes was flagged as a doubt for the Gunners’ last outing, but the Brazilian played the entire 90 against Newcastle United and is expected to partner William Saliba in the heart of the defence this week.
However, the Gunners are still a little short-handed in defence, with Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) and Kieran Tierney (hamstring) all expected to miss this trip to Milan due to injury.

With that in mind, this match could turn into a tactical one, where clear-cut chances for both teams are at a premium, and the first goal could easily end up being the winner. Our Inter Milan vs Arsenal prediction: Under 2.5!
