Inter Team News
In the last championship match, Inter beat Salernitana away 0:4. They took the lead in the 62nd minute, and the guests managed to equalize immediately after four minutes, but the goal was disallowed after a VAR decision. In the 77th and 85th minutes, they increased their advantage, and they set the final score in the 89th minute of the match. Interestingly, all four goals were scored by Lautaro Martinez, the first goal was assisted by Marcus Thuram, the second by Nicolo Barella, who scored the third from the penalty spot, while Carlos Augusto successfully outplayed him for the fourth goal.
After seven rounds played in the Italian Serie A, Inter is tied for first place with city rival Milan with 18 points each. Since the beginning of the season, they have recorded as many as six wins one draw and one loss in all competitions.
In the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, they played away to a draw with Real Sociedad 1:1. The home team took the lead in the fourth minute, and the equalizer was only achieved in the 87th minute with a goal by Lautar Martinez, while the assistant was Davide Frattesi.
Coach Simone Inzaghi is expected to be without injured players such as Davide Frattesi, Marko Arnautovic, Stefano Sensi, and Juan Cuadrado. Inter could start with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram in attack, and their cooperation at the beginning of the season is already bringing results.

Benfica Team News
In the previous round of the Portugal League, Benfica defeated Porto at home with 1:0. Already in the 19th minute, the visiting team was left with one less player, and the home team used their numerical advantage in the 69th minute with a goal by Angelo Di Maria. Until the end of the game, the score remained unchanged. In the current season, Benfica defeated their biggest rival for the second time, because they also defeated them in the Super Cup with 2:0 at the start.
They currently occupy the second position in the table with 18 points, one less than the first-placed Sporting. Since the beginning of the season, Benfica has recorded seven wins and two losses.
In the first round of the group stage of the Champions League, they were unexpectedly defeated by Salzburg at home 0:2. Benfica’s defeat was probably influenced by Antonio Silva’s red card in the 13th minute of the match, after which they conceded two goals until the 51st minute.
He is now suspended and will not be available for the match against Inter. Coach Roger Schmidt has no major concerns about injuries, so minimal changes in the starting line-up are expected.

Inter vs Benfica Prediction
Although Inter is the favorite in this match, we cannot predict with certainty that the hosts will win, because Benfica is always a difficult rival, and they are in good form. Also, a more open match is expected, so our suggestion for betting is a win for Inter or a draw, with at least two goals scored in the entire match.
