Inter vs Getafe Prediction
Inter are clear favorites for the first leg of this tie at San Siro, despite their recent struggles in Serie A.
The Milan side were impressive in their meeting with Ludogorets and still have a number of excellent attacking players that can hurt Getafe.
The Spanish side are very strong defensively and have only conceded 25 goals in 27 league matches.
Their 2-0 win in the home tie against Ajax was the foundation upon which their round of 32 win was built and with their efficient 4-4-2 system under Jose Bordalas, they will provide Inter with a stern test.
They do not have the most threat going forward and their squad is aging, but their organization means they should prove tough to break down.
However, given the attacking talent at the disposal of Conte, Inter should come out on top and with odds of 97/100 on 22Bet.
