European giants flying high in Group B

Inter and Barcelona are the teams that are control of Group B, with Spurs and PSV yet to claim a win after three matches.

The reverse fixture a fortnight ago saw Barca win 2-0, but Tottenham's draw away at PSVhas given Inter a great chance of making the knockout stages. Avoiding defeat at home would be a huge step towards fulfilling that ambition.

Inter have bounced back from that defeat with consecutive victories over Lazio and then Genoa at the weekend, who they thrashed 5-0. They are now second in Serie A, with the loss to Barcelona their only game that they haven't won from their last ten outings.

Barcelona are unbeaten in eight (W6 D2). They have won all three of their Champions League games and can book their place in the last-16 with a victory.

Inter should give better account at home

Lionel Messi has returned to the Barcelona squad after breaking his arm and the possibility of his involvement, justifies the low price for the visitors.

Yet with Inter in such good form, it's a risk to back the away win. The Italians will feel that they did not do themselves justice in the away fixture and will be eager to test themselves on home soil.

Inter have scored eight goals in the two games since drawing a blank at the Nou Camp and with Barcelona having had to come from behind to win 3-2 at Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, Inter's attackers should get on the scoresheet this time round. Back both teams to score at 1.70.
