Following an
entertaining six goal thriller, Inter Milan and Celtic meet again for the
second leg of their round of 32 Europa League clash. Here are some live
listings & online streaming options for Inter Milan vs. Celtic.
The first leg of the round of 32
Europa league tie bewteen Inter Milan and Celtic was nothing short of
entertaining for fans and neutrals alike. Six goals were split between the two
sides, setting up an intriguing part two when the Scottish giants visit the
Giuseppe Meazza, but it will be Ronny Delia's men who have a slight
disadvantage after conceding three away goals.
In fact, should the score-line
remain the same after 90 minutes, the Nerazzurri, like their Italian counterparts
Fiorentina who also drew their first away leg are through. However, given the
attacking potential of their opponents, that will be easier said than done.
They will have to make do without some of their defensive reinforcements,
including Japanese international Yuto Nagatomo, whilst Hugo Campagaro (who
unfortunately scored an own-goal in the first leg) and Danilo D'Ambrosio are
doubtful for the upcoming clash.
In terms of personnel, Celtic are
also missing some key players, with defender Mikael Lustig and Charlie Mulgrew
suffering from ankle and hamstring issues respectively. Statistically the odds
do not look to be in the visitors' favour. Although Inter have not beaten the
Hoops in regulation time, with three draws and one win, out of
their five home games against Scottish opponents, they have won four
and drawn one. Additionally, they have outscored their opponents by 11
to 1.
Celtic have not only been unable to
keep a clean sheet against Italian opposition but also are winless in
their last eight games, with three draws, five losses, and
have scored just four goals, something that coach Ronny Delia will hope
will increase if they want to book their spot in the round of 16. Yet, it will
not be easy. Inter not only topped their group with 12 points but also did so
sans losing a single match (three wins, three draws) and will be
certainly keen on maintaining that in front of their home fans.
With this game poised on a knife's
edge, it looks set to be another intriguing clash that one will certainly not
want to miss.
