Opta

Until last week, it looked like Mario Gomez would challenge Lionel Messi to be Champions League top scorer
"Mario Gomez has scored 14 goals in his last 12 Champions League appearances (excluding qualifiers)."
Michael Lintorn has looked over the Opta stats and found reasons for Bayern Munich fans to be optimistic, but very few positives omens for Inter...
Nine of Bayern's 11 goals have been netted in the first half, the highest proportion in the Champions League this season (82%)
This stat suggests that the chunky odds usually offered on the first half producing more goals than the second 45 are well worth taking. Further support for such a wager is provided by the fact that nine of the 13 goals at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League this season have come before the break.

And the Bundesliga's top scorer fired three past Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday to draw a line under a rare four-game drought, the first of those coming as early as the fifth minute. The German international grabbed the opener in two of his side's three home encounters in the group stage.
Marseille have never scored more than once in their 15 encounters against Italian opposition in Europe (excluding Intertoto Cup)
This is one of several under 2.5 goals indicators, another one being that Marseille have the worst shooting accuracy figure of any team in the last 16, with just 37% of their efforts hitting the target. Their last six matches have all featured two goals or fewer, as have four of Inter's last half-dozen.
Marseille have kept nine clean sheets in their last 13 Champions League games
Inter have lost their last three clashes with Didier Deschamps' men 1-0, and their chances of finally scoring against them this time aren't great given that they have been shut out in seven of their last ten fixtures in all competitions. They haven't struck in the first 70 minutes of any of their last seven.
