Before locking in any Inter Milan vs. Barcelona picks, you need to see what proven SportsLine soccer expert Jon Eimer has to say. Here are Eimer's Champions League picks and predictions for Barcelona vs. Inter Milan on Wednesday:
Raphinha to score or assist (-125)The Brazilian forward has more pressure on him right now since Barcelona lead striker Robert Lewandowski is sidelined with an injury. He totaled seven shots on goal in the Copa del Rey final with three on target, and a similar effort could result in a goal against a tired Inter team. This player prop is listed at -125 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Barcelona to score in both halves (+125)Hansi Flick's men have found the back of the net in two of their last three games across all competition, and in three of their last four matches on home soil. Barcelona to score in both halves of Wednesday's semifinal match is listed at +120 odds at BetMGM Sportsbook.
Barcelona on the money line (-150)The Blaugrana are undefeated in 15 straight home matches across all competitions, while Inter was clean-sheeted by Bologna in their last road game. The Nerazzurri will press hard for offense after failing to score a goal in three straight games, but it will really be up to their defense to lock down a red-hot Barcelona attack.
"Barcelona have some of the most creative midfielders and prolific strikers in the world right now, including Ferran Torres, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Dani Olmo and Frenkie de Jong," Eimer told SportsLine. "I know that Inter's defense can be good and I know Barcelona is probably tired, but their momentum should be too much for anyone to stop right now."
