Slavia Faces Tough Challenge Against Inter Milan in Champions League

Milán, Itálie — Slavia Prague is set to face a daunting task as they take on Italian giant Inter Milan in the second round of the UEFA Champions League on September 30, 2025, at 21:00 local time.

The match will be held at the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, commonly known as San Siro, where Inter enters as a clear favorite. The Italian club won their opening match against Ajax and are currently seen as a serious contender for the trophy, having reached the finals in the previous two seasons.

Slavia’s coach, Jindřich Trpišovský, has made significant adjustments to his lineup. Key players Tomáš Chorý and Youssoupha Mbodji will be absent from the starting eleven. This places the pressure on Vasil Kušej to lead the attack, especially after a disappointing draw against Bodø/Glimt where Slavia squandered a 2-0 lead.

Slavia has struggled in the Champions League, with no wins away from home since 2007. They go into this match with their squad hampered by injuries and illness, making their challenge against the formidable Nerazzurri even more challenging. Currently, they are on a streak of three consecutive victories in domestic competitions.

Inter Milan has also been in good form, recently defeating Cagliari 2-0 in their domestic league. The team is optimistic, particularly since they do not have significant injury concerns except for defender Tomás Palacios, who is not on the matchday roster.

The odds heavily favor Inter, with bookmakers listing them as 1.34 favorites, indicating a 74.63% probability of victory. Slavia’s chances are captured with odds of 8.30, reflecting the belief that they are the underdogs.

Fans eager to follow the action can tune in to watch the match live on Nova Sport 3, while audio commentary will be available on TV Tipsport, allowing those without television access to stay updated.

The clash marks another chapter in the ongoing rivalry, with the last match between these two teams resulting in a 3-1 victory for Inter in 2019. As the match approaches, all eyes will be on whether Slavia can replicate their previous surprising result at San Siro from six years ago.
