Football Multi Bet: $10.90 Tip for Thursday

Barcelona and Inter Milan will renew their European rivalry on Thursday morning at Camp Nou in the first leg of a UEFA Champions League tie.

The hosts remain in the hunt for a treble this season, having already secured the Copa del Rey, while Inter's hopes of a treble have ended following their defeat in the Coppa Italia final.

Here are the best betting picks for the game across the top betting sites NZ.

Thursday May 1, 7am NZT, Camp Nou 

Barcelona to Win

Barcelona head into this clash as strong favourites due to their dominant home form and attacking strength. They’ve won five of their last six meetings with Inter Milan at Camp Nou and remain unbeaten in their last ten matches overall. 

Inter, on the other hand, are struggling, winless in their past four games across all competitions. Given the gap in form and Barcelona’s historical advantage, backing them to win is a smart move for your multi. 

Football betting sites, therefore, are overwhelmingly backing Barcelona to grab a win in this one. While the odds don’t look quite attractive, it’s a great low risk bet to build your multi bet on.

Raphinha to Score

Raphinha has been sensational to watch this season. The Brazilian winger has been a driving force behind Barca’s charge for trophies, racking up an impressive 53 goal contributions, with 30 of those finding the back of the net.

Raphinha has struck 12 times in the Champions League this season, making him the tournament’s second-top scorer, only trailing Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy by one. With penalty duties also in his hands, his prospects of scoring against Inter are strong.

PlayUp has priced Raphinha at $2.35 to score on Thursday, and it looks like a value bet worth considering.

Barcelona to Win and Both Teams to Score

We have already mentioned why Barcelona have an excellent chance of winning this tie. So, to round out our multi, we’re focusing on both teams to score. Inter Milan’s scoring form has been impressive, with goals in 45 of 50 matches this season and an average of two per game. 

They’ve kept that up in the Champions League too, scoring in 10 of 12 games at an average of 1.58 goals. On the road, they’ve struck in four of their six UCL trips, scoring six goals in total.

Inter have been shaky at the back lately, conceding in each of their last nine games in all competitions. With that in mind, both teams to score looks like a strong bet.
