Inter Milan vs PSV Eindhoven
UEFA Champions League. Kick-off: 8pm, Tuesday 11th December. Live on BT Sport ESPN.
THE danger for Inter Milan in their final Group B clash is becoming too preoccupied with events at the Nou Camp.
If Spurs claim a famous win over Barcelona then the Italians will be out of the Champions League, no matter what happens in their own game with PSV Eindhoven.
So plenty of eyes at the San Siro will be flitting between the action on the pitch and smartphones as Inter fans desperately wait for news of a Barcelona goal.
But boss Luciano Spalletti will be hammering home the importance of his players focusing on the task in hand as they can do nothing to influence events in Catalonia.
Everyone seems to be expecting Inter Milan to stroll to victory against PSV Eindhoven but this is far from a sure thing.
Even though the Dutch champions prop up the group and don't even have a hope of securing a place in the Europa League, they remain a dangerous side.
Since crashing 4-0 to Barcelona in the group opener, PSV Eindhoven haven't lost by more than one goal in any of their games. The reverse fixture was won 2-1 by Inter and a repeat here could be worth a quid or two at 15/2 with 888 Sport.
Spalletti's side also go into the game having not won in three games, although it has been a tough run with matches against Spurs, Roma and Juventus.
Inter Milan are 33/100 with 888 Sport to get the win, however, while PSV are huge 8/1 outsiders and even the draw is a hefty 23/5 which may be worth a little nibble.
Both teams to score looks a good shout at 4/5 with 888 Sport while Inter Milan to win after a level first half is also worth consideration at 7/2 on what could be a tense night.
I'm a big fan of Ivan Perisic and the Croatian is 17/4 to net first and 6/5 to score anytime with 888 Sport. Perisic is also a creator of goals and I like the look of the 6/4 888 Sport offer on him claiming an assist.
Hirving Lozano is always a threat for PSV and looks good value at 33/10 for anytime scorer. If you fancy him to net first then the odds lengthen to 10/1.
There are some interesting specials on 888 Sport and I like the look of Inter talisman Mauro Icardi scoring a goal and also getting booked, which is 11/1. Given he may get booked for over-celebrating a goal, that seems far too generous.
Recommended bets
- Draw half-time/Inter full-time 7/2 (888 Sport)
- Mauro Icardi to score and get booked 11/1 (888 Sport)
- Ivan Perisic assist 6/4 (888 Sport)
