Inter Milan v Barcelona - To Qualify For Final

Dark Horse · 04-26-10, 06:42 PM

I'm leaning Barca. Sneijder is almost certainly out for Inter. Barca's vulnerability is that they leave a lot of space between their last defender and their goalie. A precision passer like Sneijder is deadly there. Without him this isn't the same Inter. I would guestimate that Inter's chances at scoring a goal dropped by 50%.

Shark79 · 04-26-10, 06:52 PM

My lean is Barca, even though I hate them, but DH has a valid point. Sneijder was the silent player that Barca never really forced or cared to block. This brings a new question to this game .... will Mourinho simply station the bus in defense and take that 2 lead goal as the advantage Inter will need to advance? or will he look for an early goal ?? Many variables.

If Balotelli brings his A game to this event, it will definitely be in Inters favor.

I predict Barcelona will play better than Intermilan, but that's just my personal recommendation

Wilforth · 04-26-10, 08:59 PM

A 2-0 win is good enough for Barca and that's not beyond them. I'd take Barca +125 if I had to.

rfr3sh · 04-26-10, 11:34 PM

Inter +1 and +1.5 +102
Barca to Qualify +143

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

Barcelona looks good to me.

Barca will win at home but not more than 1 goal. So Inter is my pick.

Om3n · 04-27-10, 02:16 AM

Never mind! Barca will kill Inter at home!!!

Totolover1409 · 04-27-10, 02:29 AM

I don't think Barca will advance. Inter will be playing crazy D and can strike with those counter attacks like they did against Chelsea.

pouroupoupou · 04-27-10, 02:46 AM

Barca 2-0, 3-0

blackf1re · 04-27-10, 03:09 AM

I can see Mourinho going for a goal in the first 20 minutes and then park at least 2 busses. No betting for me though.

samitarian · 04-27-10, 03:18 AM

barca are not going through.

TeamTT · 04-27-10, 05:51 AM

Initial thoughts were inter ... But the more I think n read... Barca can do it.. The odd is very attractive too...

50/50 .....very hard to predict

valgan · 04-27-10, 08:48 AM

barca will qualify!

Tommy_de1st · 04-27-10, 09:29 AM

Sneijder is fit and gonna be playing 2morrow.
Barca is capable of scoring 2, 3 or even 5 goals in open play but Inter still have Murinho and they gonna play like they played vs Chelsea - defencively.
No play for me, ill be just watching

swiss88 · 04-27-10, 09:49 AM

I'm sure Barca can do it and qualify at home against Inter but what scares me is Mourinho... His strategy for the 1st leg was perfect and maybe he will find another one again for tomorrow to prevent Barca from qualifying...

SRBI · 04-27-10, 09:57 AM

Everyone expects Barca to go through no matter what.
Even if they were 10 goals down, people would still be like: Barca is going to win 11-0 at home and qualify!

Nonsense. I ain't gonna write em off, we all know what they're capable of, I just think Inter will hold, with help from refs.

iNTER MiLANO FOR CHAMPiON

Has that been confirmed ? Where ??

pavyracer · 04-27-10, 10:33 AM

This is a game better suited for live play. If Barca doesn't get an early goal I'm leaning Inter.

Barca will go through. Altough Inter might play in 14 (including the refs, nothing can stop Barca on Camp Nou

Going all in then, eh??

SoV · 04-28-10, 10:32 AM

Barca will qualify. Only need a 2-0 and I expect the little genius Messi to step up again.

yisman · 04-28-10, 10:44 AM

Inter.

I expect them to get a goal and not to lose by 3 or more.

moiz615 · 04-28-10, 11:37 AM

Too tough to pick, not much return. Will be staying away

Smogs · 04-28-10, 11:44 AM

Fellas - no one has mentioned that Mourinho is the

special one

for a reason!

Inter +1.5 @ 4/6 yes please, small bet though - 0.3 Unit

(I need action!)

Sorry i can't offer a better argument

SoV · 04-28-10, 11:49 AM

Messi is the Special One.

Barca 4-1 1x

This has turned so tactical now, Guardiola just isn't as 'special'

SoV · 04-28-10, 04:19 PM

Barca cheated out. Disappointing.

Tommy_de1st · 04-28-10, 04:42 PM

Perfect defensive gameplan by Mourinho

Inter were the ones who were cheated with that bullsht red card, but they still fought through and won.
