Inter Milan have been priced at 11/2 by the best Champions League betting sites to win a fourth Champions League honour following Wednesday night’s quarter-final aggregate victory over Portuguese outfit Benfica.

Inter won the first leg 2-0 in Portugal thanks to goals from Nico Barella and Romelu Lukaku, handing the Nerazzurri a near guaranteed spot in the semi-finals to face AC Milan who defeated fellow Serie A side Napoli 2-1 on aggregate.

Italian football is enjoying a resurgence on European football’s biggest stage and Inter rubber stamped their spot in the next round with a 3-3 second leg draw thanks to another strike from Barella followed up by two from Lautaro Martinez and Joaquin Correa.

Inter’s domestic campaign hasn’t gone quite to plan under Simone Inzaghi, sitting fifth in the table and 24 points adrift Napoli at the top – however the club’s main focus is now delivering European glory for the first time since 2010.

Inter Milan Champions League Odds

  • Manchester City @ 5/6
  • Real Madrid @ 7/2
  • Inter Milan @ 11/2
  • AC Milan @ 13/2

Inter are favourites to do the job over fellow Milan rivals AC despite sitting two points behind Stefano Pioli’s side in Serie A. In the three matchups so far this season, Milan have won once and Inter twice.

A five goal thriller in September saw AC win 3-2 thanks to a double from Rafael Leao, but Inter responded in typical fashion in the next meeting with a 3-0 victory in the Italian Super Cup final.

Most recently, Inter took all three points with a 1-0 win as Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal of the game. The Derby della Madonnina has produced some special moments over the years and this Champions League semi-final is poised to deliver yet again.

The successful side will face either Manchester City or Real Madrid in the final on June 10 at Istanbul’s Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Turkey.
