Slavia Prague vs Inter Milan Predictions

Wednesday’s trip to Slavia Prague is a must-win game for Inter Milan. The visitors are three points shy of Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League group, but the Italians have the crucial head-to-head advantage following their double header. Now Inter need to match Borussia’s win in the Czech Republic and hope Barcelona can do them a favour elsewhere.

The hosts are bottom of Group F, but things could have turned out very differently had they held on to their lead in San Siro in the opening round of matches. Slavia have failed to win since, but they have proved to be a test for every side in the group so far. Will they push the Nerazzurri in their final home match of the group stage?

Inter come here fresh from yet another Serie A victory, with the visitors still chasing down Juventus. They remain a point shy of the Old Lady as we head towards the winter break. While domestic affairs remain their main concern, Inter will look at this group with two games to go and see an opportunity. They can take it down to the final game should they claim a victory in Prague this week.

The good news for Inter is away form has been pretty solid for them this season. They’ve won every Serie A away day, while they’ve scored twice or more in each of their seven away league wins this season. Across those seven, Inter have scored 18 goals, including three at Torino at the weekend. They are aiming to improve on their consecutive away defeats in this group, but Inter can be confident after scoring twice home and away to Dortmund in their previous two in Europe.

The visitors are backed up by in-form forward Lautaro Martínez. He has scored in his last three Uefa Champions League appearances for Inter – he could become the fifth Argentinian to score in four consecutively, after Hernan Crespo (2002), Lionel Messi (six occasions), Sergio Agüero (2019) and Ezequiel Lavezzi (2013). Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku scored his 10th goal in 11 matches for club and country at the weekend.

With Inter in scoring form, Slavia should be worried. The hosts have conceded twice in both of their home games so far, while we see the Nerazzurri getting two goals in this one. We’re going with over 1.5 goals for Inter Milan as our main tip, while we’re also backing a 2-1 away win, which has landed in two of Inter’s last three trips.
