host Inter Milan in a Uefa Champions League Group B match at Camp Nou and it promises to be a thriller. It is tempting to call it for Barca as they are favourites to top the group but Milan have proved they can match anyone.

Luciano Spalletti’s side will be high on confidence as they come from a sweet victory over bitter rivals AC Milan in the Milan derby last weekend. And they are yet to lose in the Champions League having collected six points in their opening two games. The odds are however heavily stacked against them as they meet a Barcelona side who are on a high.

While a sensible bet would be to go with Barca, they have been blowing hot and cold. And with Leo Messi missing, they could struggle. But with their experience, they should prevail and open a three-point gap at the top of Group B.
