Inter Milan vs Monaco Prediction
Internazionale sit three points behind Napoli with a game-in-hand in Serie A as they come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering of Lecce in Apulia the other day thanks to goals from Davide Frattesi, Lautaro Martinez, Denzel Dumfries and Mehdi Taremi. The Nerazzurri edged past Sparta Prague by a goal to nil in the UEFA Champions League last week as they sit tucked inside the top eight of the league phase. They now face a Monaco side that enjoyed an entertaining 3-2 win over Stade Rennais at Stade Louis II the other day thanks to goals from Maghnes Akliouche, Mika Biereth and Aleksandar Golovin. Inter are favourites for this one and it should be an entertaining encounter with the pressure off and the Monegasque are looking to re-establish some form and rhythm.
