Sparta Prague vs Inter Prediction 22.01.2025 | Champions League

• Competition: UEFA Champions League - Matchweek 7
• Date: Wednesday, 22nd, January 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: epet ARENA (Prague)

In a bid to remain among the top eight, Inter will face off against Sparta Prague at the epet ARENA on Wednesday evening in the second-to-last round of the UEFA Champions League.

Although they enjoyed a dream start to Europe's elite club competition by hammering RB Salzburg 3-0 in their opener and earning a commendable 1-1 draw away at Stuttgart on matchday two, the Marrons have since left a very poor impression. More precisely, Sparta Prague have ended up on the losing side in each of their last four European outings, with their defense bearing the brunt of this dismal run, conceding a bizarre 17 goals, which has brought them to the brink of elimination from the league phase.

The 2023 Champions League finalists, Inter Milan, are eager to make amends with their supporters after last season's surprising exit in the round of 16, but for now, their main focus lies in securing a spot among the top eight teams in the league phase. Inter Milan's ambitions to lock in a direct place in the round of 16 were dealt a setback when they suffered a 90th-minute defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in their latest European match, which ruined their unbeaten start that had included four wins and a draw.

Sparta Prague vs Inter Betting Tips: UNDER 3.5

Throughout history, Inter has visited Sparta Prague four times and has never fared well, managing only one draw while returning home empty-handed on three occasions, including their most recent visit in 2016 when they were beaten 1-3 by the Czech side. The rivalry between these teams has traditionally delivered plenty of goals and thrilling entertainment, with at least three goals scored in each of the last eight encounters, but this time, we are seeing signs that could disrupt this high-scoring pattern. Namely, Inter's European matches this season have been monotonous and devoid of excitement, with one goal making all the difference in four out of their first six appearances. The late 0-1 loss to Leverkusen last time out was actually the first time this season that Inter's defense was breached in the Champions League, but we believe they have enough defensive toughness to shut out Sparta Prague and make it another unattractive contest.
