Matthew Trebby: Inter Milan's profile has not changed much since last season under Antonio Conte. Some of the personnel has, but the Nerazzurri still feature an attack that thrives on good finishing and quality going forward.
This game should be one-way traffic. Inter is likely to win and doesn't need much space in front of goal to score. Two of Edin Dzeko (seven Serie A goals), Lautaro Martinez (five) and Joaquin Correa (four) will likely start in attack, and those three have been lethal. For example, Correa's four goals have come from just 0.60 expected goals.
Meanwhile, Sheriff has yet to register more than 1.0 xG in a Champions League game, although it does have a pair of shock victories over Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid (at the Bernabeu!).
This game will be at home in Moldova in front of what will only be about 5,200 spectators, which is all its stadium holds.
After conceding in eight consecutive games, Inter has kept two consecutive clean sheets against Empoli and Udinese, who are superior to Sheriff. I'm going to back another one here at -110 on DraftKings as my top selection.
Inter is shockingly two points behind top-of-the-group Sheriff (what?) and need a result. Last season, the only blemish on its season was being demoted to the Europa League after the UCL group stages. This is an experienced enough squad to keep a clean sheet in an atmosphere like this, and I'll back them to on coin-flip odds.
Trebby's Pick: Inter Milan Win to Nil (-110)
Sporting vs. Beşiktaş
Sporting Odds | -270 |
Beşiktaş Odds | +700 |
Draw | +425 |
Over/Under | 2.5 (-160 / +130) |

Jeremy Pond: Talk about a mismatch.
Sporting enters this showdown in stellar form, having won six consecutive games across all competitions. And their latest foe was one of the victims during this magical run when they squared off a few weeks back.
The Portuguese side delivered a 5-1 shellacking to Beşiktaş in the reverse game on Turkish soil. Sebastian Haller lit up the Black Eagles for four goals in the impressive road triumph.
As for the visitors, they've been downright awful of late in this competition. Beşiktaş has given up at least two goals in its last six UCL affairs, resulting in as many losses. And with the issues and injuries surrounding the side entering this meeting, it wouldn't surprise anyone if we saw another rout in Lisbon and a seventh defeat hitting this embattled club.
That said, I'm playing a Same Game Parlay as my top selection. I'm backing Sporting to win the match and the total going over 2.5 goals at -105 odds via DraftKings in my leg of the parlay. Sporting is without question the better side and could hit this total on their own knowing what happened the last time these combatants met.
Pond's Pick: Sporting Win & Total Over 2.5 Goals (-105)
Trebby & Pond Parlay
Inter Milan Win to Nil (-110) & SGP — Sporting Win & Total Over 2.5 Goals (-105) at +272 odds via DraftKings.
