Real Madrid
A lot of the permutations are completed in the Champions League as we get down to the final Match Day of the Group Stage, but not all of the places have been secured. Winning a Group can offer a considerably more comfortable Second Round tie compared with finishing as Runners Up and so this is a very important game for both Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
Carlo Ancelotti has to be really pleased with the way his Real Madrid team have been playing of late and they have moved clear at the top of the Spanish Primera Division as they look to take the title away from City rivals Atletico. They are also top of this Group, but Real Madrid need at least one more point to secure the position ahead of their opponents on Match Day 6.
Real Madrid are not only unbeaten in 11 games in all competitions, but they have built up some significant momentum with 8 straight wins going into this final Group game in the Champions League. They have won 4 in a row at home in all competitions too.
There are some key players missing for Real Madrid with the most notable being Karim Benzema. A big Madrid derby game is coming up this weekend, but Carlo Ancelotti will not want to take too many risks and lose top spot in this Group.
Inter Milan
It has been a long time coming for Inter Milan, but their win on Match Day 5 was enough to secure a spot in the Champions League Last 16. There is still something to play for on Match Day 6 as Inter Milan look to secure a victory that would see them win this Group and earn a potentially better Second Round tie when the draw is made next Monday.
In recent years Inter Milan have struggled to make it out of Champions League Groups and have been left kicking themselves for blowing opportunities throughout the six Match Days. However, they have managed to beat the teams they have been expected to this time around, although Inter Milan will be looking to make a statement by winning in the Spanish capital and winning the Group.
Inter Milan are the Champions of Italy and look to be motoring back to the top of their domestic League thanks to a run of 11 games without suffering a loss in all competitions. Like their opponent on Tuesday, Inter Milan have started piling up wins with 5 in a row heading into this fixture. The side are unbeaten in 5 away games in all competitions and have won 4 of those games.
A number of long-term injury issues continue to reduce the squad numbers, but Inter Milan are likely to have a strong team starting this one.
Head to Head
A goal in the 89th minute was enough for Real Madrid to earn a 0-1 win at the San Siro earlier in the Group.
Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 3-2 here in the Champions League Group Stage last season and they have won 6 in a row when hosting this club.
Prediction
Groups have largely been decided on Tuesday of Match Day 6 of the Champions League and only one of the eight places up for grabs has yet to be determined.
However, Real Madrid and Inter Milan will be meeting with top spot on the line and that is very important when it comes to the draw next week. Real Madrid have the edge with a point good enough for them, but Inter Milan will take risks to try and win the game in the Spanish capital.
In recent years Inter Milan have struggled here and have lost 6 visits in a row, but they have been playing well.
Real Madrid have also been in good form and they are without Karim Benzema who has become the talisman for the team as big names have departed, but Carlo Ancelotti's men have been in really strong form.
The feeling is that Inter Milan could be caught out if they take chances to try and win the Group and Real Madrid have been producing plenty of quality opportunities in front of goal. They do have a big game coming up, but Real Madrid should be focused to try and win this section and I think they can be backed to secure a narrow win.
