Sparta Prague vs Inter Milan Prediction

Sparta Prague head into the final two matches of the league phase of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign sitting four points behind the top 24. They won their first game before then getting a draw in their second game but have now suffered four successive defeats. Inter haven’t been as fluent as they were when they dominated Serie A last season but the Nerazzurri remain in a good position to retain their title and they will also be expected to go deep into this competition with a comfortable away win to be expected for this clash in the Czech capital.
