Prediction Man City vs. Inter: Champions League odds, tips

Manchester City has made a brilliant start in the Premier League.

The four-time defending champion is 4-0-0 and has outscored its opponents 11-3 on the season.

The star of the game was Erling Haaland, who scored an unprecedented nine goals in City's first four games this season.

The talk about the Cityzens' slow starters has turned to whether this is the best version of Manchester City we have ever seen.

City begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday afternoon with a showdown against Inter Milan – the team the Sky Blues defeated in the 2023 Champions League final.

Prediction for Man City vs. Inter Milan

The numbers do not suggest that City do not deserve to be top of the Premier League, but it is fair to say that their current situation is unsustainable.

While that doesn't mean they'll be down to earth, winning almost every game with a Haaland hat-trick seems like a tall order for any team.

It is also noteworthy that City opened the season with a relatively relaxed schedule.

They faced Chelsea in their opening game, but the Blues were in the middle of a wild transfer window and playing under a new manager.

The victories over West Ham, Ipswich and Brentford were take-care-of-everything kind of victories.

City will probably find it much more difficult to face an Inter side that has a good grasp of its formation and plays a structured, responsible style of football that is difficult to overpower.

To make matters worse, City has a monumental game against Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners finished second behind the Cityzens for two years in a row and appear ready to face another serious challenge in the 2024/25 season.

Pep Guardiola and his men will have to keep this competition in mind when they face Inter on Wednesday.
