Key players to watch in Inter Vs Bayern Munich

Lautaro Martinez (Inter)

Lautaro Martinez has been in rampant form for Inter in recent matches, scoring the opening goal in the match in the first leg. It was a brilliant finish by him from the outside of the boot to give the goalkeeper no chance of having it. With this goal, his tally for the season is up to 20 goals in all competitions. In his last five matches, he has found the back of the net on three occasions and will continue that in this match also.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane will be hoping to play a crucial part here for the visitors to turn around the tie. The England international has all the tools to score the goals here, having already demonstrated his qualities to the world.

He is arguably one of the very few forwards who can score goals anytime if provided the chance. In the last match, he was unlucky to hit the post after being presented with the chance. This season, he has 34 goals in 41 matches for the club while also providing 10 assists to his teammates.

Inter Vs Bayern Munich Prediction

We have a blockbuster clash on our horizon as two strong teams battle to secure their place in the semifinal. Inter look the favorites given the advantage they have from the first leg, but you cannot rule out Bayern, who have quality in their squad to turn around the tie. However, we still believe the match to end in a draw and Inter to qualify in aggregate.
