INTER have one foot in the Champions League Final after last week’s 2-0 derby win but AC Milan won’t go down without a fight tonight.
Everyone expected a cagey game in the semi-final’s first leg so it was a surprise when Simone Inzaghi’s men raced out of the traps to score twice in the first 11 minutes.
They are now McBookie’s 1/50 hot favourites to reach the showpiece with the Rossoneri at 12/1 to turn the tie around.
I don’t think it’s as cut-and-dry as that, even though Inter are the ‘home’ team in the San Siro and will have most of the fans.
So I’m steering clear of backing a result and going for cards instead. Just two yellows were flashed in the first leg but I’ve a feeling it will be more fiery tonight.
Bet365 price a sending-off at a tempting 10/3 while Milan’s Sandro Tonali is 49/20 (Unibet) for a card in the heat of the midfield battle.
There’s play-off action on both sides of the border with Annan hosting Clyde in the first leg of the League One Final.
The Bully Wee only just edged past East Fife while Athletic battered Dumbarton 6-0 on aggregate. So I’m on a win for Annan tonight at 21/20 with McBookie.
Sunderland hold a 2-1 lead heading to Luton as they bid to move a step closer to a dream Premier League return.
The first leg was pretty open and Tony Mowbray isn’t the kind of manager to defend a lead so over 2.5 goals appeals at 6/5 (Bet365).
- Super singles: Tonali card (49/20, Unibet). Annan win on night (21/20, McBookie).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining over 2.5 goals with BTTS at Luton pays 137/100.
