Inter vs Slavia Prague prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-09-29 19:00.
[p]Inter Milan were one of 14 sides to win their opening league phase game in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) while opponents Slavia Prague will be kicking themselves they weren’t the 15th. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The Italian giants could scarcely be coming into this matchday two fixture in better form, arriving on the back of three successive wins in all competitions, most recently beating Cagliari 2-0 at the weekend. A 2-0 win against Ajax sparked the run, and Inter are no strangers to success in this competition having reached the final in two of the three prior UCL editions, albeit losing on both occasions. Taking that final step to win the competition for the first time since 2009/10 remains the ultimate aim, and few would bet against them taking the next step to achieving that goal at home, where they’re unbeaten in 16 UCL games (W13, D3). [/p]
[p]Slavia Prague were left rueing what could’ve been on matchday one, as they surrendered a 2-0 lead after the 75th minute to draw 2-2 at home to Bodø/Glimt. That was certainly a bitter pill for Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side to swallow, but Slavia have responded well (W2, D1) and remain unbeaten in competitive action this season (W8, D4) following a 2-0 win against Dukla Prague on Friday. They’ve got their work cut out to extend that record in the UCL, not least because they haven’t won a game in the competition proper since September 2007 (D5, L7 since) and have never won away from home in the main draw of the UCL (D3, L3)![/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be a third competitive meeting between these two sides (INT: W1, D1). Inter have won their last four UCL games against sides from the Czech Republic, while Slavia have never won away to Italian opposition in major European competition (D1, L7). [/p]
