Inter Milan Team News
Antonio Conte tends to have immediate success wherever he goes, making Juventus and Chelsea immediately win directly and also being the Italian boss at Euro 2016. He is supported by several special talents to emulate that success at Inter Milan, too, with experienced leaders to Atletico Madrid and Uruguay, Diego Godin, came to improve the back line, Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku up front, and Valentino Lazaro and Matteo Pollitano in midfield.
So far everything will be planned, with the opening weekend 4-0 win over Lecce very impressive. Other wins since then have not been that easy, but they have shown Inter have the strength and ability to roll results, as they beat Cagliari 2-1 and Udinese 1-0 on Saturday. It also conceded only one goal in three matches.
Lautaro Martinez could return to the starting XI after appearing in the final half hour at the weekend, while summer signing Romelu Lukaku was withdrawn for him. The two have the potential to appear together here. Stefano Sensi is the winner of the match on Saturday and is expected to maintain his continued role, playing behind Lukaku and / or Martinez. Further back, it would be a 3-5-2 system that Conte loved, with Godin partnered Stefan De Vrij and Milan Skriniar.
Prague Slavic Team News
Slavia Prague beat the chance to top the Czech League, for the second time in three years, but also only the second time in the last decade, with Viktoria Plzeň tending to dominate. Not only that, but they completed the domestic double by winning the Czech club. Even though their season was very good, it's a pretty difficult task to expect them to qualify for the right Champions League, with qualifications that are difficult to navigate. But they did it; CFR Cluj had knocked Celtic out of the competition with a stunning 4-3 win in Glasgow, but Slavia was far more professional and sound defensive in the final qualifiers, winning both legs 1-0.
They have started their new domestic campaign in fantastic form, too, leading the standings after nine matches and taking 23 points from 27 available - unbeaten with seven wins and two draws, with their latest result being a solid 3-0 win over Slovácko on saturday.
Tomáš Souček finished last season as top scorer with 18 goals in all competitions. He is a substitute who was not used on that occasion, and can return to the starting line-up here - but he has only scored one league goal so far, and one for the Czech Republic during the international break. Josef Hušbauer has four goals from midfield so far and could be one of the more dangerous players.
Inter Milan vs Slavia Prague betting tips
Inter Milan returned to action in the Champions League on Tuesday after a strong start at home. The Nerazzurri will try to improve Europe's poor form last year, which makes them finish third behind Barcelona and Tottenham. Inter meet Barca again this time, while their looming clash with Borussia Dortmund makes this meeting with Slavia a match that must be won.
Inter drive high in Serie A with three wins out of three under Antonio Conte. However, the fear of the host is their new manager. He has four league titles to his name from the last five seasons in club management. However, trophy records are always bad, with bad habits coming up short in the Champions League. Will there be more problems for this term?
Regardless of what holds Conte in Europe, Slavia Prague is not expected to be a major barrier for the Italian giant. The Czech side is the small fish in this pond, with club representatives becoming viral for laughing at their own misfortune during the draw. Given the talent they face this fall, they will focus on not being beaten unanimously in each match.
Not surprisingly, Slavs have been made outsiders for Tuesday's meeting. In fact, you could say that Inter are a bit expensive despite being very at odds for this match. They were the best in both meetings with PSV last season - the weakest team in the group. Slavia does not have the same standard, which points to Inter Milan's victory.
The Nerazzurri have won home games from zero to zero in Serie A so far. They are too good at the back, with Antonio Conte keeping them organized. Inter were already among the leaders for a clean sheet at home in Serie A last season, while Conte has improved it by recruiting Diego Godin from Atletico Madrid.
The signing points to positive things for Inter who entered this clash. They are already a solid team behind, while Slavia are not too special to advance. They won their playoff match 2-0 in aggregate against Cluj, showing that they want to keep things tight. Slavia Prague has not scored a single goal in Europe's last five matches against Italian clubs, without a goal that runs in 491 minutes. That's why we went with Inter to win to zero, given their defensive strength.
We don't see Inter trying too hard for this match. We support them to close the shop behind, while they can survive through Slavia. Romelu Lukaku's love for the smaller side is well documented, so this could be a great opportunity for him. We support Inter to win 2-0 at home this week.
