Inter vs Anorthosis F. Match preview

Champions League - Group B: Inter vs Anorthosis F.

Inter’s triumph in Rome claimed their contention for defending the title, and judging by what we saw so far in Serie A, only their city rivals could be a threat. After demolishing Roma, Mourinho said that it was his side’s best game this season and that it is only the beginning. Zlatan Ibrahimovic shined again and his fifth-minute drive opened the door to victory and it was all routine after that. Neroazzuri are now on top with two points ahead of their rivals. This season is a dream for Anorthosis, by far the most successful season in the history of the club. Cyprus side first eliminated Rapid and Olympiakos in the qualifications and for the first time in history they qualified for the group stage. They have also had an excellent start so we can see why coach Ketsbaia is now trying to calm the euphoria after four points taken in the first two games.

Inter failed to beat Werder at Meazza

They were the better side in the match but they conceded naively and kept on trying but couldn't score the second goal till the end. However, the draw didn’t hurt as the win in Athens in the first round brought them the head position on the standings and anything but the top of the group would be a surprise for them. You get the impression that the Italians are by far the bets team in the group; Mourinho will shuffle again as he has plenty of players to choose from. Obbina was a surprise against Roma; actually the Nigerian got his chance from the first whistle and scored to show his gratitude. Clearly Mourinho wishes to save the team during the autumn so they wouldn't be exhausted in the decisive period. Champions League is the priority for the club from Milan but they will certainly try to win the title as well. They struggled in some home matches this season but as the season goes by their play is getting better.

Anorthosis are not giving up

They took four points from two games and clearly their appetites grew. A point in Bremen was a sensation but not a coincidence as the Cyprus side’s triumph over Panathinaikos helped them join Inter at the top. Although the creator of this great team, once famous Georgian player, Ketsbaia keeps on saying that the aim is third place and UEFA Cup, the fans want more. Regardless of the fact that they will meet Inter twice in the next few weeks, even if they don't take any points from this tie, they are hosting Werder in front of their noisy fans, which could be a crucial game. Who knows? We are yet to see the final outcome, but the club from Cyprus have already made a great contribution to Cyprian football.


Betting Verdict

The difference in the quality is huge and whichever team Mourinho field we believe that they will easily win. However the odds are low so it is perhaps best to bet on Inter with -1handicap, with a higher stake, of course. Odds are around 1.60 and we don’t think that Cyprus side can score at Meazza, and 2:0 or 3:0 is the most realistic outcome.
