Inter — Liverpool Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 9 December 2025
On December 9, 2025, in the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Inter will host Liverpool. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Inter
Inter approach this match in excellent form. After their defeat to Atlético in the previous Champions League round, the team played three matches in all competitions and won all of them convincingly. First, they beat Pisa 2–0 away, then crushed Venezia 5–1 in the Coppa Italia, and most recently secured a confident 4–0 home victory over Como.
At the moment, Inter are at the top of the Serie A table, although Milan and Napoli have games in hand which could potentially move Inter from first place.
As for their home record, Inter have been performing very solidly at the San Siro. This season, the team have suffered only two home defeats, and in the last nine home fixtures they lost just once, while winning the remaining eight. In the Champions League, the defeat against Atlético was their only loss after five matches. They won the other four and currently sit 4th in the overall standings with 12 points.
When it comes to home matches against Liverpool, Inter have never beaten the English side. The teams have played twice at the San Siro, and both times Liverpool win. Inter also failed to score in either of those games.
Liverpool
Liverpool are going through a difficult period. Although the team are unbeaten in their last three matches, they are far from the side that won the Premier League last season. Liverpool drew both of their most recent league games – 1–1 at home against Sunderland, and 3–3 away at Leeds, where they conceded in the final minutes and dropped two points.
Overall, their current form is rather poor: in the last six matches Liverpool have suffered three defeats, recorded two draws and only one victory. In the Premier League they sit 9th with 23 points, just three points behind the Champions League zone, but already ten adrift of the leaders Arsenal. Defensively, Liverpool have been struggling, conceding 24 goals in 15 league matches – exactly the same number they have scored.
In the Champions League, after an impressive home win over Real Madrid, Liverpool suffered a heavy and surprising 1–4 defeat at Anfield against PSV. That was the first time Liverpool had conceded four goals at home in the Champions League. At the moment they are 13th in the overall standings with 9 points and remain in the race for the knockout stage.
As for the head-to-head record against Inter, the teams have met only four times. Inter have one victory, while Liverpool have won three. All four of those matches ended with under 2.5 total goals scored.

Inter — Liverpool Prediction
Both teams approach this match in very different form. Inter bounced back after two consecutive defeats against Milan and Atlético, and reacted with an impressive run of three straight victories, scoring 11 goals and conceding just one. The team is currently among the leaders of Serie A and also holds strong positions in the Champions League. Liverpool, on the other hand, has been struggling recently. They are unbeaten in their last three matches but dropped points in the previous two after finishing level. Historically, Liverpool has been stronger in head-to-head meetings against Inter, but the current form of the teams is quite different. Liverpool will need to restore confidence, so they are likely to play more open football and try to extend their positive tradition against Inter. Inter performs very well at home and has lost only once in their last nine home matches. Therefore, we expect this game to be quite dynamic with many interesting moments, and both sides should have opportunities to score. My bet for this match: Both Teams to score — Yes at odds of 1.57.
