Inter Milan vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

Inter Milan will be disappointed with the Milan Derby result, and Antonio Conte will be desperate to get his team back on a winning track. Striker Romelu Lukaku has begun well once more, and the Belgian will be crucial if Inter Milan are to be successful in this encounter.

Borussia Monchengladbach have impressed under manager Marco Rose. The frontline of Breel Embolo, Alassane Plea and Marcus Thuram was in fine form last season, and will need to be at their very best once more if they are to trouble Inter on Wednesday.

A close match is expected, but Inter Milan should have what it takes to edge past Borussia Monchengladbach in this Champions League encounter.

Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
