We have a crucial week ahead, and the Leverkusen vs Inter odds are available on the best apps for betting on football. The Germans are playing at home, and as such, they are favorites at 2.25 (5/4), while Inter Milan are quite overvalued at 3.10 (21/10). There’s been only one draw in five games for both teams, and the odds of a tie have the highest value at 3.40 (12/5).
Both teams have met just once in a European tie, a Europa League quarter-finals clash in 2020. The Italians prevailed in a 2-1 win courtesy of goals from Romelu Lukaku and Nicolo Barella, while Kai Havertz scored a consolation goal for Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen went on a poor run in October and November, where they could manage only six wins from 12 matches. They looked to have bounced back with the 5-2 win over Heidenheim, and they are on a five-game winning streak. Xabi Alonso’s side began their UCL campaign with a 4-0 win over Feyenoord, and they are currently sixth in the 32-league format, racking up 10 points from five games. Facing Inter in the Champions League is a daunting task, but Leverkusen have lost just once in this competition, and they were in the game against Liverpool up until the 61st minute.
Victor Boniface is ruled out of the game against Inter Milan but the hosts have a capable replacement in Patrick Schick. Amine Adli and Jonas Hoffmann are other players on the sidelines, but there are no suspensions for the Black and Reds.
Inter Milan has always reached the knockouts in the last three editions of the UEFA Champions League, and they are on course to maintain this record. The Italians have four wins and one draw from their first five Champions League games this term, and the only time they dropped points was against Man City at the Etihad. Inter Milan has beaten the likes of Arsenal and Leipzig while shutting them out, and they have very underrated odds on UCL 24/25 betting sites. So far this season, AC Milan is the only team to have beaten the Nerazzurri in a narrow 2-1 loss, and they will be a tough team nut for the Germans.
There are no worries for Simone Inzaghi, who has all his key players traveling to Germany for their Champions League game. The debate in attack has always been about who starts alongside Lautaro Martinez, but Mehdi Taremi has held this spot in the last two UCL games.

Inter Milan has always found a way to absorb pressure in the big games this season, and they should do just fine in Germany. The 2010 UCL winners have the best defense in the Champions League this term, failing to concede a goal in five matches. Five out of Inter Milan’s last seven games have ended with under 3.5 goals, and they didn’t lose a single game in that period. Bayer Leverkusen is in good form, but their scoring this season has dropped compared to last term, and their last three matches have ended with under 3.5 goals. A bet on the Italians to avoid defeat in a low-scoring game has good odds on Leverkusen vs Inter predictions.

Will Bayer Leverkusen be the first team to breach Inter Milan’s backline in the UCL this season? The home advantage makes Bayer Leverkusen favorites here, but we’ve seen this Inter Milan team keep clean sheets against an in-form Man City team and Arsenal. It’s very possible that the Nerrazzuri will maintain their run without conceding, but even if the hosts manage to break this tight backline, it shouldn’t be more than a goal. A bet on the hosts to score less than two goals is a good option on Leverkusen vs Inter betting tips.

In most big games this season, Inter Milan has often preferred to sit back and absorb pressure like in the game against Arsenal, and they end up conceding more corner kicks. Only Sparta Prague has fewer corner kicks than Inter Milan in the UCL 2024/25, with the Italians racking up just 12 set pieces from the corner flag. Bayer Leverkusen has had more corner kicks than any of the teams they have faced in their last four Champions League appearances.
This game could change the dynamics of the top eight as both teams try to hold onto their spot in the automatic qualification zones. Our Leverkusen vs Inter Milan betting picks are out, and you can make extra cash from this match by using our expert tips and predictions.
