Betting Tips: Inter vs PSV

  /  autty

While Mark van Bommel's men have no chance of even a Europa League spot, Al Hain-Cole is backing them to make life difficult for the Nerazzurri

Inter will be hoping to book their place in the Champions League knockout stages when they welcome PSV to the San Siro on Tuesday.

The Nerazzurri need to better the result of second-placed Tottenham, who face a difficult away game against already-qualified Barcelona.

Having run out 2-1 winners in the reverse encounter in Eindhoven, they are 33/100 (1.33) favourites with 888Sport to give themselves the best chance of progression by coming out on top once again.

Mark van Bommel’s side are already destined to finish bottom of the group after picking up just one point from the opening five games, but can be backed at 8/1 (9.00) to at least sign off with a surprise victory here.

A draw would be enough for the hosts to progress should Tottenham lose in Barcelona, and you can get odds of 23/5 (5.60) on them being held to a stalemate.

Matias Vecino is fit to return to the starting XI after a muscle injury, while Radja Nainggolan is hoping to take his place on the substitutes’ bench.

Ryan Thomas remains a long-term absentee due to a knee injury, while youngster Matthias Verreth is also ruled out for the guests.

Although certainly side in a difficult group, it would be wrong to label the Boeren as whipping boys based on their performances so far.

The Dutch champions took the lead in the reverse encounter with this opposition and both games against Tottenham, as well as finding the net at home to Barcelona.

With nothing left to lose, they could prove dangerous guests for Luciano Spalletti’s team, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their five group games so far.

Indeed, Inter have conceded in 17 of their last 18 Champions League fixtures, and odds of 4/5 (1.80) look like solid value on them being joined on the scoresheet by PSV in this clash.
