Real Madrid vs Inter prediction

THE FORECAST

Real Madrid opens their Champions League campaign under pressure following their defeat to Betis, but home advantage at the Bernabéu and historically strong European home records give the home side a slight edge. The injury list is considerable (Camavinga, Rodrygo, Militão, Mendy, Güler among others), which limits rotation depth, while Inter are in good form with 15 matches unbeaten and a confident return after the 3-2 against Napoli. The high temperatures (up to 34.6°C) could affect both pressing teams, but Chivus' intensive Inter may be slightly more affected, which puts Real Madrid's counter-attacking style at a relative advantage.
