Inter Milan vs Liverpool Prediction

Inter Milan are currently 2nd in the league, and have won only two of their last five league games. They are a point behind league leaders AC Milan, who have played a game more. Simone Inzaghi's men will be keen to put their Serie A form behind and produce a positive performance against Liverpool.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have relied on Mohamed Salah's brilliance this season. Portuguese attacker DIogo Jota has enjoyed an excellent season as well.

Liverpool should win here.

Prediction: Inter Milan 1-2 Liverpool
