Liverpool are under immense pressure after a host of mediocre performances that are threatening Arne Slot's job, and a UCL date with Inter Milan on Tuesday won't make things any easier.
I see Inter as the favorites to keep the points in Milano, but I'll opt to go for goals in my best bet, judging on the many defensive liabilities at both ends.

My Inter Milan vs Liverpool best bet: Over 3.5 (+155 at Sports Interaction)
Inter have scored a total of nine goals over their last two official matches. After a 5-1 Italian Cup victory over Venezia one week ago, the Nerazzurri put four past Como on Saturday.
Led by rookie manager Cristian Chivu, Inter sit second in the Serie A standings, one point behind Napoli. That's despite losses in each of the derbies they played since the start of the campaign, against Juventus (3-4), Napoli (1-3), and AC Milan (0-1).
However, they've won four or their five games in the Champions League, with the only loss coming against their strongest opponents so far, Atletico Madrid (1-2).
Liverpool have been worryingly inconsistent. After an emphatic start to the season, they went on to lose no fewer than nine matches across all competitions since the end of September.
Title-winning manager Arne Slot might face the sack if Liverpool don't improve fast, while star forward Mohamed Salah added gasoline to the fire by accusing the coach and the club of "throwing him under the bus" in recent weeks.
In their previous Champions League game, Liverpool lost 4-1 at Anfield to Dutch side PSV. At the weekend, they wasted a two-goal advantage in a spectacular 3-3 draw against relegation-threatened Leeds United in the Premier League.
Both defenses have been lacking of late, so I believe there will be many goals between Inter and Liverpool. I'm taking Sports Interaction's +155 for the Over 3.5.

Over 3.5
Lautaro Martinez anytime goal
Hugo Ekitike 1+ shots on target
Dominik Szoboszlai 1+ shots on target
Inter’s Lautaro Martínez has scored in all five of his UEFA Champions League games at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in 2025 (eight goals in total). Despite tensions between him and Chivu, I count on his quality to increase Liverpool's troubles.
The only central midfielder to be involved in more open play sequences ending in a shot in the UEFA Champions League this season than Dominik Szoboszlai (37) is Vitinha (58).
The Hungarian has been directly involved in five goals in Liverpool's five games in the competition this term. He scored two goals and provided two assists. I like both of them to hit the net on Tuesday.
