Inter Milan vs Slavia Prague – Match Preview and Team News

Inter Milan Team News
Cristian Chivu has no major injury concerns as Inter Milan prepare to host Slavia Prague, but the Romanian coach might make several changes from the weekend victory over Cagliari. Captain Lautaro Martinez has fully recovered from the back injury that sidelined him earlier this month and returned to the starting lineup alongside Marcus Thuram in attack against Cagliari.
The main team news revolves around tactical rotation, with Yann Sommer potentially returning in goal after Josep Martinez started against Cagliari, though Chivu may continue with the Spanish keeper who has impressed since his introduction. Denzel Dumfries and Federico Dimarco are expected to reclaim their wing-back positions, while Francesco Acerbi could replace Stefan de Vrij in central defense.
Slavia Prague Team News
Slavia Prague head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky faces significant defensive challenges with multiple key players sidelined through injury. Club captain Jan Boril and defensive stalwart Tomas Holes remain unavailable due to knee injuries, while Dominik Javorcek and Igoh Ogbu are also ruled out.
Midfielder Petr Sevcik is another notable absentee, leaving Trpisovsky with limited options in his squad rotation. Despite these setbacks, Lukas Provod has been in outstanding form this season with two goals and four assists in domestic competition and will be crucial to their attacking threat.
Tomas Chory leads the line after scoring twice against Dukla Prague in their most recent league fixture and will partner the experienced Vasil Kusej, who has contributed three goals and four assists this campaign.
Form
Inter Milan
Chivu’s side have shown resilience after a difficult start to the season, responding to back-to-back defeats against Udinese and Juventus with three consecutive victories. The Nerazzurri secured an impressive 2-0 away win against Ajax in their Champions League opener, with Marcus Thuram scoring both goals to demonstrate their European pedigree.
Their domestic form has improved significantly, culminating in a comfortable 2-0 victory over Cagliari at the weekend where Lautaro Martinez marked his return from injury with a goal. Under Chivu’s guidance, Inter have shown tactical flexibility and a higher press compared to previous seasons.
Slavia Prague
The Czech champions secured a 2-2 draw against Bodo/Glimt at home in their previous UCL match. Youssoupha Mbodji scored both goals for Slavia Prague in that entertaining encounter.
Domestically, Slavia Prague have been in excellent form, winning their last three league matches including a 2-0 victory over Dukla Prague where Chory was the standout performer. Their recent run includes victories over Pardubice and away successes against Mlada Boleslav.
