Inter Milan return to San Siro on Tuesday evening for their second Champions League outing of the season against Slavia Prague. Inter will be buoyed by a confidence-boosting victory over Ajax on matchday one. The Nerazzurri, last season’s beaten finalists, showed their European pedigree in Amsterdam, in a controlled performance.
In Serie A, Cristian Chivu’s side endured a turbulent start, slipping to a surprise defeat against Udinese and losing a dramatic 4-3 Derby d’Italia clash to Juventus. However, Inter have since steadied their campaign, registering successive league victories against Sassuolo and Cagliari. San Siro has been a fortress for Inter in Europe, with the Italian giants unbeaten in their last 16 Champions League fixtures at home, winning 13 of those.

Slavia Prague will arrive with both hope and frustration after their opening match against Bodo/Glimt. Despite producing a club-record 26 shots, Slavia squandered a two-goal lead and conceded twice late on, leaving them with only a point. The Czech champions come into this game on the back of a 2-0 domestic win over Dukla Prague.
They have been prolific at home but their form in Europe tells a different story. Slavia have lost their last three European away games without scoring and remain winless in 12 consecutive Champions League matches since their debut victory in 2007. History is also against them, with Slavia never winning in Italy, losing seven of their eight visits.

Over 2.5 Goals @ -180 looks like a strong play, considering the recent trends of both teams. Inter’s last six matches have produced plenty of action, with four of those games seeing at least three goals, including a 4-3 thriller against Juventus. Their attack, led by Thuram and Martinez, has been consistent, while their defensive line has shown occasional vulnerabilities.
On the other hand, Slavia Prague were involved in an exciting 2-2 draw in their Champions League opener against Bodo/Glimt. Their European form suggests they can create chances but also struggle to keep things tight at the back, especially away from home. As a result, a high-scoring encounter could well be on the cards.
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has opened the new campaign at a slower pace by his usual high standards. He has only scored twice in five Serie A outings so far. However, the Argentine remains a proven force in Champions League. With the responsibility of leading Inter’s attack, Martinez is well-positioned to open his account in Europe here.

Inter will view this as the ideal chance to strengthen their grip in the table and reinforce their status as title contenders.
