Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Inter vs Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Inter vs Liverpool
• Date: Tuesday, 09 December 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza

Inter's recent form has been solid, with four wins in their last five matches, showing they're in good shape heading into this game. They'll likely stick to their 3-5-2 formation, which has served them well, and with players like Martinez and Calhanoglu in fine form, they could pose a real threat to Liverpool's defence. However, Liverpool's attack, led by Ekitike, can't be underestimated, and they'll be eager to bounce back after a heavy defeat.

Liverpool, despite a recent loss, have shown they can compete with top teams, as evidenced by their win against Real Madrid. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allows for flexibility and creativity in attack, which could trouble Inter's backline. This match could be closely contested, with both teams having the firepower to score, but Inter's current momentum might just give them the edge.

Inter have been in fine form recently, winning four out of their last five matches. Their only loss came against Atletico Madrid away from home, but they've bounced back well with convincing victories against Kairat Almaty, Union St. Gilloise, Slavia Praha, and Ajax. This run of form should give them confidence and momentum going into the match against Liverpool.

Liverpool's recent form has been a bit up and down, with three wins and two losses in their last five matches. Their most recent game was a disappointing 1-4 loss at home to PSV Eindhoven, which might dent their confidence. However, they did manage a notable win against Real Madrid at home, showing they can still perform against top teams.

Inter are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with Sommer in goal and a back three of Bisseck, Akanji, and Bastoni. This setup allows them to be solid at the back while providing width through Augusto and Dimarco, with Martinez and Bonny leading the attack.

• Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Jones (DF), van Dijk (DF), Konate (DF), Kerkez (DF), Gravenberch (MF), Mac Allister (MF), Salah (MF), Szoboszlai (MF), Gakpo (MF), Ekitike (AT)

Liverpool are likely to stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alisson in goal and a back four of Jones, Konate, van Dijk, and Kerkez. This setup should allow them to control the midfield with Gravenberch and Mac Allister, while Salah, Szoboszlai, and Gakpo provide creativity and goal threat behind Ekitike.

• Lautaro Martinez vs Ibrahima Konate: Martinez's pace and finishing will be tested against Konate's strength and defensive nous.

• Piotr Zielinski vs Alexis Mac Allister: Zielinski's creativity will be crucial against Mac Allister's ability to break up play.

• Hakan Calhanoglu (Inter): Calhanoglu's control in midfield will be vital for Inter's possession and tempo.
