Real Madrid will welcome Inter Milan to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Champions League matchday 6 on Tuesday. The kick-off is at 22:00 CEST.

Preview

It's been intense three months since Rodrygo's only strike secured all three points for Madrid against Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza in the reverse fixture. Both sides have already qualified for the CL knock-out rounds since then as Carlo Ancelotti's men are currently at the very top of the Group D standings with 12 points while Simone Inzaghi's side sit in second, two points adrift of the Whites and four points clear of third-placed Sheriff Tiraspol.

Thus, the Nerazzurri will be desperate to get even with Madrid for September's narrow loss in Milan when they lock horns in the Spanish capital this time around to secure themselves the first-placed finish in Group D.

Team news

While Dani Ceballos and Gareth Bale remain on the sidelines for Madrid with long-term injuries, Karim Benzema has joined the duo in the treatmennt room as picking up a hamstring issue over the weekend. Matteo Darmian, Aleksandar Kolarov, Andrea Ranocchia,Stefan de Vrij and Joaquin Correa, meanwhile, wil miss Inter's trip to Madrid due to respective injury woes on their own.

Prediction

It's extremely hard to separate Madrid and Inter ahead of their second head-to-head meeting in the 2021/22 campaign as both sides are on a 11-game unbeaten streak across all competitions right now, including respective victories over Real Sociedad (2-0) and Roma (3-0) on Saturday. What's more, Madrid will be without Benzema on Tuesday and the absence of their arguably best player will certainly affect the Whites' attacking power. Still, Ancelotti's crop only need one point to finish at the top of the table and we can envisage Madrid holding the Serie A champions to a narrow draw at the Bernabeu.
