Inter vs Slavia Prague: can Inter secure a convincing home victory?
On Tuesday, September 30, the UEFA Champions League clash will see Inter host Slavia Prague at home. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 CET. Here’s our in-depth preview and prediction for this encounter.
Inter vs Slavia Prague: match preview
Last season, Inter reached the Champions League final, but much has changed since, including a new head coach. Cristian Chivu has taken the helm, and his start to the new campaign has been anything but stable. Inter lost twice in the first three rounds, but results have since improved. In the Champions League opener, the Nerazzurri defeated Ajax 2-0, followed by back-to-back Serie A wins: 2-1 over Sassuolo and 2-0 against Cagliari. In the Italian league, Inter currently sit fifth with nine points, just three off the leaders.
Slavia Prague have played more domestic matches and, after ten rounds, have collected 24 points, placing second in the standings—trailing the leaders by just a single point. Notably, Slavia remain unbeaten this season, including in the Champions League: in their opening group match, the Czech side hosted Bodo/Glimt, taking a 2-0 lead until the 78th minute, but let the advantage slip, conceding twice in 12 minutes for a final 2-2 draw.
