THERE are plenty of nail-biting, take-it-to-the-wire last day Champions League showdowns this week. Unfortunately, Bayern Munich hosting Inter Milan isn't one of them.
Both the Bavarian superpowers and the Serie A giants have already safely qualified and Bayern are five points ahead of the Italians, so have the group winner's place in the bag, while Inter are guaranteed second spot. Both made sure Barcelona failed to qualify from the group stages for the second year in a row.
So it boils down to some nice extra pocket money for winning games in the competition and for Bayern, they will want to put down a marker by maintaining their superb 100 per cent record in the group.
After that sluggish start to the season, Bayern are really motoring recently as they cruise into top gear. A 6-2 home mauling of Mainz at the weekend was their sixth win in a row and they've done it with considerable panache having rattled in 25 goals on that run.
However, Inter are on a really good run of their own to, having won four in a row and six out of seven which has also included plenty of goals.
How the bookies view it
Bayern are strong odds-on favourites to win here at 7/15 with SBK.
Inter Milan can be backed at 6/1 with bet365 while it's 4/1 for the draw with Paddy Power.
Recent head to heads
Bayern were too good for Inter in the home leg last month when they went to the San Siro and won 2-0. Bayern are 3-2 ahead in the overall meetings.
Players to watch
Sadio Mane took some time to warm up from his summer move from Liverpool, but has netted 12 goals so far for club and country this season including his last two games for Bayern. He is 11/8 to score at bet365.
Edin Dzeko is 36 now and is used more in Europe than in Serie A, but he seems as deadly as ever after a double in his last game in the group against Viktoria Plzen. The Bosnian hitman is 3/1 to score with William Hill.
Anything else catch the eye?
It will probably pay to check the line-ups here with little at stake apart from pride, but there are goals galore in both teams and the way to go looks like going for Bayern to complete their 100 per cent record in an entertaining clash.
Inter have scored ten goals in their last three games and can contribute here, although they are likely to fall short against a Bayern team who are getting even stronger. It points to a Bayern win and both teams to score at 17/11 with SportNation.
On a similar path, Bayern to win and over 3.5 goals looks to have a big chance at 13/8 with Paddy Power.
