Inter Milan’s perfect start to the UEFA Champions League campaign is a testament to their formidable form, with no losses and no goals conceded so far. However, their European journey faces a significant test when they host RB Leipzig in a match that could decide their future in the competition. Despite the Nerazzurri’s strong home record, they’ve been inconsistent against German teams in recent years, while Leipzig, although struggling in Europe, will arrive with a point to prove.
In our preview, we analyse both sides' current form, tactics, and key players to provide a clearer picture of what could unfold in this exciting UCL encounter. Inter’s defensive solidity has been their standout feature, but Leipzig’s resilience could play a role in their fight for a vital away victory.
Inter Milan are cruising in the Champions League, with three wins and a draw, alongside a stunning defensive record. Their 5-0 thrashing of Verona over the weekend showed their attacking power, while their defensive line remains one of Europe’s tightest, with the team yet to concede a goal in the UCL this season. Manager Simone Inzaghi has instilled a strong tactical discipline in his squad, and their 11-match unbeaten home run in the competition (W9, D2) makes them a tough proposition at San Siro.
Despite these impressive stats, Inter’s recent record against German sides in Europe isn’t all that stellar, having lost to Bayern Munich last season. Inzaghi will need his team to maintain their defensive solidity, but their attack, led by the likes of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram, will need to deliver against a Leipzig side capable of causing problems. Thuram, in particular, is in fine form, having netted a brace in Serie A on the weekend, bringing his season tally to ten.
RB Leipzig have had a disappointing European season so far, with four losses from four matches, including a 2-1 defeat to Juventus. Their record in Italy isn't inspiring, and another loss here would see them match their longest-ever losing run in the UCL. Leipzig have struggled to capitalise on early leads, with three of their four defeats in this competition coming after they had taken the initiative, a worrying trend for manager Marco Rose. This was echoed in their recent Bundesliga defeat to Hoffenheim, where they failed to protect their advantage despite leading three times in the match.
Leipzig’s standout player is Antonio Nusa, who has been in scintillating form recently, contributing directly to seven goals in his last three outings. With goals coming early in games, Leipzig will look to start fast against Inter, as their attack, led by Nusa, will need to be clinical to overcome the defensive prowess of the home side. However, Leipzig’s inconsistency and shaky defending, particularly away from home, leave doubts over their ability to get a positive result in Milan.
Our experts expect this match to be a close affair, with Inter’s defensive solidity likely to keep Leipzig at bay for long periods. However, Leipzig's speed and offensive quality on the counter could catch Inter off guard. Inter’s dominance at home makes them the favourites, but Leipzig’s need to recover their UCL form could spark a spirited performance, especially if they can capitalise on any early chances.
While Inter are solid and tough to break down, Leipzig’s unpredictability could see them snatch an important win. Their offensive capabilities and Leipzig’s desperate need to end their losing streak make this a match where the underdogs may just surprise the home team.

We predict a 1-2 win for RB Leipzig, as they will capitalise on Inter’s slight vulnerability to quick counters. The best bet here would be to back Leipzig to win with a correct score of 1-2. Given Leipzig’s ability to score early and Inter’s reliance on defence, Leipzig’s attacking flair and desire to turn their European campaign around should prove decisive in this close encounter.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
