Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League schedule brings fans some thrilling contests on matchday six. They don’t come much bigger than the showdown at the San Siro, where Inter Milan and Liverpool go toe-to-toe in a heavyweight slugfest from 20:00 BST.
Which team will secure the points? You can place bets at the top bookmakers listed at Flashscore.
Inter Milan enjoy home advantage as they shoot for a fifth win in six games. Last season’s runners-up - beaten convincingly by PSG - know victory would strengthen their push for a top-eight finish and spot in the playoffs.
They enter fourth in the table and within touching distance of current leaders, Arsenal. A win over the Reds would show Milan are contenders.
Things haven’t gone according to plan for Liverpool so far this season. The defending Premier League champions are struggling domestically, and things aren’t going much better in this competition.
Arne Slot’s team have won three and lost two so far, leaving them down in the playoff places. An away win would catapult them up the rankings.

Odds courtesy of bet365. Correct at the time of publication and subject to change.
Stick with the home team
Our first bet on Tuesday’s match at the San Siro in Milan is Inter Milan to win or draw. You’ll find this wager in the double chance market on the bet365 website and app. It covers both results, meaning you have a two-in-three chance of bagging a profit in the match-winner. A 4-1 home win pays the same as a 1-1 draw. Milan must avoid defeat.
We take confidence from how Inter Milan have performed at home recently. Cristian Chivu’s team beat Lazio 2-0 here last month. They also edged Kairat 2-1 at this venue in the Champions League, a win achieved thanks to goals from Martinez and Augusto. Going back further, Milan thrashed Fiorentina 3-0, Cremonese 4-1, and Slavia Prague by a 3-0 scoreline.
Having your stake on Inter Milan or draw would’ve boosted your balance in all but one of the locals’ five Champions League outings. They started in style, racking up four wins on the bounce, taking a maximum 12 points. The spare in that impressive run came last time out, when Inter slipped to a surprise 2-1 defeat at Atletico Madrid. Fans demand a response.
Tip: Inter Milan win or draw @ 4/11 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Inter Milan avoid defeat in midweek, your bet wins.
We’ll get goals at the San Siro
Our second bet under the bright lights in Italy on Tuesday is for Inter Milan vs Liverpool to score a combined three or more goals. With this wager, it doesn’t matter which team wins, who scores the goals, or the final scoreline. As long as we see at least three goals scored, you’ll make a profit. Inter Milan could ease to a 3-0 victory, or Liverpool could nick a 2-1 win.
Focusing on Liverpool’s form in this season’s UEFA Champions League, they’ve won three and lost two. What’s more interesting, especially when thinking about this bet, is that the Reds have found the net ten times in five games, but conceded eight goals in the same period. That shows they’re dangerous in attack, but their backline can’t be trusted.
Check the head-to-head stats on the Flashscore app, and you’ll see Inter Milan and Liverpool have met six times in the past. Liverpool have four wins, with the Italians claiming the other two. In those fixtures, over 2.5 goals was a winning bet twice. Liverpool won 3-1 at home, with Milan winning 3-0 in Italy. With two high-scoring teams, we fancy more goals.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 4/6 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Inter Milan and Liverpool score a combined three or more goals, you’ll see a return on your bet.
Bet at bigger odds
We sign off at the San Siro with a third bet at higher odds than the previous two, backing both teams to score in a home win. Here, you need Inter Milan to collect all three points, but Liverpool must find the net at least once. Both parts of the bet must land to secure a profit. If Milan wins well, but Liverpool draw a blank, your bet loses, and the bookie keeps your stake.
Inter Milan played two Champions League games last month. In their first of November, they banked all three points when beating Kairat 2-1 at the San Siro. The locals led at the interval, before their opponents hit back to stun the crowd soon after the restart. Milan showed the fighting spirit to keep pushing for a winner, and they got it with time to spare.
Milan showed character to avoid dropping points against Kairat, and they must show more of that never-say-die attitude. Then we switch to Liverpool. They lost 4-1 to PSV at Anfield in their previous game. When last on the road, Slot’s struggling side smashed Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1, showing they can create chances and have the quality to score goals.
Tip: Inter Milan win and both score @ 11/4 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need Inter Milan to win, but Liverpool must score one or more goals.
