1st Prediction for Inter Milan vs Crvena Zvezda : Inter Milan To Win – 1.16
Inter Milan are the clear favourites for this one and with good reason. They have one of the strongest squads in Europe and come up against a Red Star Belgrade side who are the best team in Serbia, but is a much weaker league than the league Inter are champions of, the Serie A in Italy. Inter were impressive in their 0-0 draw with Manchester City, showing their defensive capabilities. They are also strong in attack with players like Marcus Thuram and World Cup winner Lautaro Martinez and should get the victory in this one. Odds of 1.16 can be found with Myriad Play Sports.
2nd Prediction for Inter Milan vs Crvena Zvezda : Inter Milan Handicap -1 – 1.45
Inter Milan should be comfortable in this one. They are so strong defensively, that they will likely keep a clean sheet in this one. If this is the case then handicap betting could be the way to go, as a result of the short odds of an Inter Milan victory. Inter Milan have the capabilities to score multiple goals in this one, as well as keeping a clean sheet, so a handicap of -1 could be the way to go, and is better odds than just an Inter Milan victory, with Myriad Play Sports providing odds of 1.45.
3rd Prediction for Inter Milan vs Crvena Zvezda : HT/FT – 1.52
As I have mentioned, I expect Inter Milan to be comfortable in this one. They will want to start the game fast, which could lead to them scoring early in the game. If this is the case they will most likely lead at half time, and I expect them to win the game, so Inter Milan half time/full time at odds of 1.52 with Myriad Play Sports will be a good bet.
