Two of the top teams in the Champions League face off as Inter Milan hosts Monaco. It is time to continue our Champions League odds series with an Inter Milan-Monaco prediction and pick.
Inter Milan comes in at 5-1-1 in UCL play, which places them in fourth place in the Champions League. While they have not officially clinched a spot automatically to the round of 16, they would need to lose, and see multiple other teams win to move out of that spot. They are coming off a win in their last UCL game, beating Sparta Praha 1-0. It was the fourth time in five games that they had won a game 1-0.
Meanwhile, Monaco is 4-1-2 on the year, sitting in tenth in the Champions League. They will be moving on to the knockout round, but could still take a spot that automatically advances to the round of 16. Monaco is just two points behind fifth place and has multiple avenues to move into the top eight with a win. They could also move into the top eight with a draw but would need plenty of help. Monaco is coming off a win against Aston Villa in their last game, winning the game 1-0.

Final Inter Milan-Monaco Prediction & Pick
The major difference in this game will be the Inter Milan defense. They have allowed just one goal in Champions League play this year. That was to Bayer Leverkusen, who has scored the same amount of goals in UCL play as Monaco. Still, Inter Milan has not given up a goal at home so far in UCL play. Regardless, Inter Milan has scored more than one goal just once in UCL play. That game was against Crvena Zvezda, who has allowed the fourth most goals in UCL play. Expect a low-scoring game in this one, and take the under.
