Champions League
2009-11-24 - Barcelona vs Inter Milan
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Defending Champions Barcelona could be the first ever holders to be shown the exit from the group stages if they suffer a defeat in this match. The Spanish Giants have one win from their group so far and stumbled against Russian champions Rubin Kazan, losing at home, before drawing in the away leg.
If Barcelona loses to Inter Milan tonight and Rubin Kazan beat Dynamo Kiev in the other game in Group F match then Barcelona would be knocked out.
Inter have also won just once in the group despite at the top of the group. Jose Mourinho will be eager to knock the club where he was once an assistant coach. Mourinho admits he is not sure if they would go all out for a win or a draw as there are risks with both. As it is now if Rubin win then Barcelona will be in trouble so it is a decider in tonight's match.
Barca boss Josep Guardiola insists that his team will fight to the very end to beat Inter tonight. The home side does have some injury worries ahead of the game, but only Yaya Toure - who has swine flu - is definitely out. The main worry is over star man Lionel Messi, who has a groin problem, but Barca will leave it as late as possible before making a decision on him. Former Inter star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also struggling with a hamstring injury. In defence, Gabriel Milito and Rafa Marquez are also struggling and may not feature.
For Inter, they have a near fully fit squad to choose from with Davide Santon the only player to miss out. Wesley Sneijder is a doubt with a thigh injury and Mourinho will assess the Dutchman before finalizing the squad.
Take Inter and accept the 3/4 ball here for a draw match.
Cheers and good luck,
