Inter Milan
A slow start was made to the new Italian season after a disappointing effort in the Club World Cup and some fans will have been longing the days of being managed by Simeone Inzaghi. Recent results have been more positive though and Christian Chivu may have finally become comfortable in the role as Inter Milan manager with the team looking for a couple more strong results before the October international break.
It feels like so much is different for Inter Milan this season and it can be easily forgotten that they reached the Champions League Final last season before being overwhelmed by Paris Saint-Germain. The side have begun this League Phase with a 0-2 win in Amsterdam and Inter Milan will be targeting the top eight places and avoid having to play an extra Knock Out Round in February.
Inter Milan lost games to Udinese and Juventus either side of the September internationals, but they bounced back to win 3 in a row in all competitions ahead of this home opener in the Champions League. They have won 2 of the last 3 games played at the San Siro and Inter Milan are unbeaten in 17 home games in the Champions League, while they won all 4 League Phase fixtures twelve months ago.
A strong squad is available for the manager as Inter Milan look to keep the momentum behind themselves.
Slavia Prague
In recent years, Slavia Prague have been one of the strongest teams representing Czechia and they will have really enjoyed ending Sparta Prague's run as two time Champions. This is a Club that have been in and around the top of the domestic Division for a number of years, but the step up to the European level has been one that Slavia Prague have struggled to handle.
Last season they were beaten in the Champions League Qualifying Rounds and were dropped into the Europa League, but Slavia Prague finished 30th in the League Phase and were eliminated from the competition. Earlier this month, Slavia Prague looked to be making a strong start to this campaign in the Champions League, but conceded twice in the last 12 minutes in a 2-2 home draw with Bodo/Glimt.
Slavia Prague have opened the season with a 12 game unbeaten run in all competitions and they have been victorious in 8 of those matches. The side have also won 4 of the last 6 away games played, but this is a considerable step in level of opponent on Tuesday night.
While the home team look pretty strong, Slavia Prague are dealing with a few injuries ahead of this fixture.
Head to Head
These two Clubs met in the Champions League Group Stage in 2019/20 and it was Inter Milan who picked up four points from the two matches.
However, the game in Milan ended 1-1.
Prediction
Finishing in the top eight of the Champions League will still feel important to the best clubs in the competition, even if Paris Saint-Germain showed no ill-effect from having to go through an extra Knock Out Round on the way to winning the competition.
However, some would argue that the French League is weaker than the other big European Divisions and having much more intense fixtures at the weekend means it is better to avoid those extra matches.
Inter Milan managed to do that last season and ultimately finished Runners Up in the Champions League.
Home form was huge for the team who won all 4 League Phase fixtures played here and they should have too much for Czechia Champions Slavia Prague.
The Serie A Club look healthier and so should have more options to rotate the first eleven, while Slavia Prague lost away ties at Athletic Bilbao, Eintracht Frankfurt and PAOK in the Europa League last season.
Two of those losses were by narrow margins, but Inter Milan may do a little better in picking up the three points on offer here.
