The UEFA Champions League features another massive fixture between two European giants this week as Inter Milan lock horns with Xavi's Barcelona side in a crucial encounter at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan Preview
Inter Milan are currently in seventh place in the Serie A standings and have been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. The Nerazzurri edged Sassuolo to an important 2-1 victory over the weekend and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are at the top of the La Liga table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this year. The Blaugrana held their nerve to secure a 1-0 victory against Celta Vigo in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.

Barcelona vs Inter Milan Prediction
Barcelona have experienced a slump after the international break and have a few issues to address ahead of the game. The Catalans cannot afford to slip into the Europa League this season and have a point to prove this week.
Inter Milan are set to employ another low block and hit their opponents on the counter. Barcelona have home advantage this week, however, and hold the upper hand going into this game.
