- Inter chasing a fourth straight win across all competitions
- Lautaro Martinez back from injury and already on the scoresheet
- Slavia Prague unbeaten in 19 matches but struggling in Europe
- San Siro form makes Inter a daunting opponent in the Champions League
Inter Milan’s season looked shaky early on, with unexpected slip-ups against Udinese and Juventus raising eyebrows. But Cristian Chivu’s side have steadied the ship. Wins against Sassuolo, Cagliari and that impressive night in Amsterdam against Ajax have restored confidence. Lautaro Martinez has shaken off a back problem, scoring again at the weekend, while Marcus Thuram continues to prove a lethal partner up front. Can this forward line push Inter closer to erasing the painful memories of last season’s final? That’s the burning question in Milan.
History certainly leans in Inter’s favor. The Nerazzurri haven’t lost a Champions League home match in 16 outings, winning 13 of those. Defensive solidity has been a hallmark too, with clean sheets in nine of their last ten matches in league or Europe. The energy inside San Siro, especially on a European night, feels almost like a twelfth man. And with key players fit and firing, Chivu knows this is a golden opportunity to press their advantage in Group A.
Slavia Prague arrive in Milan with confidence from their domestic form, but their European record tells another story. The Czech champions squandered a two-goal lead at home to Bodo/Glimt in their opener, despite firing 26 shots. That collapse underlined their lack of experience at this level. Head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky has his side unbeaten in 19 across competitions, but away from Prague, the numbers don’t flatter them: no Champions League wins since 2007, and three straight away defeats without scoring. Can they change that here? It feels unlikely, but football loves a twist.
Injuries don’t help Slavia’s cause. Tomas Holes, Dominik Javorcek and Petr Sevcik are all sidelined, leaving gaps in both defense and midfield. Still, Lukas Provod and Tomas Chory have shown they can spark attacks, and the team’s relentless energy makes them dangerous if underestimated. But against a hungry Inter, at a ground where so many European dreams have been crushed, this could be another uphill battle. Expect the Nerazzurri to control the tempo and Slavia to fight mostly on the counter. Even so, it might just take one moment of magic to swing things, that’s what makes nights like this so captivating. For fans looking for sharper angles, our experts have more Champions League Predictions waiting.
Inter’s rivalry with Slavia Prague carries a remarkable piece of history. Back in July 1938, Ambrosiana Inter suffered their heaviest European defeat, a 9-0 loss in the Central European Cup quarterfinals. Legendary striker Josef “Pepi” Bican scored four times that day, sealing a result that still stands out in football history. For the Nerazzurri, every meeting with Slavia recalls that stunning chapter Gazzetta dello Sport.
Inter’s home form in the Champions League is simply too strong to overlook. They are unbeaten in their last 16 games at San Siro, with 13 wins during that stretch. Cristian Chivu’s side comes into this match on the back of three consecutive wins, including a clinical 2-0 at Ajax. Lautaro Martinez is back fit, scoring against Cagliari, while Marcus Thuram looks sharp as ever. Slavia Prague, by contrast, haven’t won in their last 12 Champions League games and failed to score in their last three away fixtures in Europe. They also surrendered a two-goal lead against Bodo/Glimt, showing fragility under pressure. With defensive injuries piling up for Slavia and Inter’s attacking options firing, it’s hard to see past a home win. The San Siro atmosphere adds another layer, and given Inter’s pedigree, this feels like a match where the Italians will impose themselves from the start.
Over 1.5 goals feels like a strong play here. Inter have scored at least two goals in their last three matches, including that clinical 2-0 win at Ajax and another 2-0 against Cagliari. With Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram forming a dangerous strike duo, supported by Hakan Calhanoglu’s service, chances should come. Slavia Prague are no strangers to high-scoring games either, their opener against Bodo/Glimt ended 2-2, with 26 shots fired by the Czech side. While they may struggle to get past Inter’s defense, their attacking intent is clear. Even if Slavia don’t score, Inter’s offensive quality should be enough to push this game over the line. Factor in San Siro’s atmosphere, which often inspires fast starts, and this match has the profile of a contest that sees goals. A tight 1-0 doesn’t fit these sides’ current form — 2-0 or 3-0 Inter looks far more realistic.
