_0.jpg)
Jose Mourinho’s side are definitely firing on all cylinders and they go into their 2nd leg fixture with CSKA in pole position to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2010 Champions League. Leading 1-0 from the match in Italy, Inter Milan are listed by top UK bookmakers William Hill at a 6/5 price to take the outright win over 90 minutes. CSKA are trading at 23/10 with the draw at 9/4. Effectively, if Inter Milan score a goal, then the Russians have it all to do. The margin in slim and if CSKA can notch a quick one then it really evens the tie out and it becomes a 50-50 contest.
Inter have been performing admirably in defence, conceding just a single goal in their last four European affairs. That’s top quality defending and OPTA Sportsdata recommends Inter Milan to keep a clean sheet at 5/4. Personally, I think the Russians are more used to playing on the synthetic surface and it may work in their favour. I do think that CSKA will score but I’m just not sure if they will score first.
Inter Milan are trading at an odds-on price to score first with a 3/4 listing against CSKA Moscow’s 11/8. No goal trades at 15/2 and that would be enough to see the Italian side through. Inter are 19/10 to win to nil and that’s not a bad bet if you really think they’re going to run away with this one.
Should Inter run up a big tally, you’ll do well to back them on the handicap. Inter Milan (-2.0) trades at a 19/2 price while a (-1.0) margin is listed at 16/5.
The lowest priced correct score option is either 1-0 to Inter or a 1-1 draw, with both options listed at 5/1. A 2-1 result to Inter pays out at 15/2 while 2-0 rewards at 17/2. CSKA to win 1-0 pays out at 7/1 while a 2-1 result pays 10/1- Inter would still go through at that point. If Jose Mourinho’s side scores, then CSKA need three goals.
Speaking of goals, both Samuel Eto’o and Diego Milito are trading at 5/4 with Mario Balotelli and Goran Pandev both listed at 7/4 anytime. Wesley Sneijder can be backed at 2/1.
Tomas Necid is CSKA’s favoured anytime goalscorer at 2/1 with Guilherme and Alan Dzagoev both available at 11/4 prices. Mark Gonzalez can be backed at 4/1 and that’s not a bad bet if you think its going to come from midfield.
Personally, I think that Inter have a lot of depth and plenty of possible goalscorers. CSKA can win the match, but they will need to produce a nearly perfect performance to progress.
