Inter's 2-0 win over Dortmund and sparkling start to 2026 (six wins from eight) lift confidence. With roughly €71m already banked from Champions League participation, punters may back Inter to progress through the playoff round, likely shortening their odds for advancement.
Inter 2-0 Victory but Playoff Path Awaits
Inter Milan defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in a high-stakes Champions League encounter, yet the result was not enough to seal automatic progression. Despite five wins from their eight league-phase outings, the Nerazzurri must navigate the playoff round to reach the last 16. The victory keeps momentum intact but forces the club to take the longer route to the knockout stages.
Strong Early-Season Form Under Chivu
Cristian Chivu can take confidence from Inter’s form entering the new calendar year. The San Siro side have won six of eight competitive matches in 2026, showing improved cohesion and attacking threat. That run should give belief to players and fans heading into the decisive playoff fixtures.
Financial Windfall from Champions League Participation
No matter how the playoffs unfold, Inter will have earned roughly €71 million from their Champions League participation. The club has already secured about €61 million for featuring in the tournament, and knockout qualification adds a €10 million bonus. Progress from the playoff round would boost those figures further and solidify the club’s European revenue haul.
What This Means for Bettors
Inter’s recent form and the financial stakes provide a clear betting angle. The team’s strong results in 2026 and their 2-0 win over Dortmund suggest momentum; bookmakers may shorten odds on Inter to advance from the playoff round. Punters might consider backing Inter to progress or to win the tie outright, while also weighing props tied to goals and match control given their current run.
Looking Ahead
Inter must convert momentum into results in the playoff round to avoid an extended European campaign. The clash with Dortmund offered positives, but the upcoming fixtures will determine whether the Nerazzurri turn promise into a direct route deeper into the Champions League.
