Inter Milan to win to nil - 5/4

Having won Serie A with five games to spare last season, success in the UEFA Champions League would be seen as the next logical step for Inter Milan and they can see themselves to a comfortable victory at Sparta Prague on Wednesday.

Inter fell to a late goal in a 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in their final fixture in the competition before the winter break, but that was the first time they had shipped a goal and their strong defence, who have kept five successive clean sheets on the road in Serie A, may not be threatened by their hosts.

While the visitors have 13 points from their six games and look set to qualify automatically for the last 16, Sparta have lost their last four UEFA Champions League games on the spin and have been brushed aside by both Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.

They have conceded a host of goals when up against Europe's elite and, while concentrating on their defensive weaknesses may help them avoid a thrashing, the Italian side look likely to win with a shutout at Stadion Letna.

Martin Vitik to be booked - 7/2

Sparta have been playing friendlies in Spain while the Czech domestic season takes a break, so it would be understandable if they were a little rusty for their visit from the Serie A champions.

Lars Friis' team have not been in league action since a fortnight before Christmas and their defence is bound to be under plenty of pressure due to both Inter's ability out wide and the presence of strikers Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram through the middle.

There looks a strong chance that one of the home defenders, Martin Vitek, could find his way into the book.

The 22-year-old has picked up eight bookings this season, including the two that earned him a red card in the October derby defeat to Slavia, and he has also been cautioned in his last two outings.

With Sparta having fought their way through the qualifying rounds, Vitik has picked up four UEFA Champions League cautions this season and could be in line for another.

Denzel Dumfries to score at any time - 8/5

Inter's marauding wing-back Denzel Dumfries is one of the best in his position in Europe and is never shy of having a go at goal, so he is taken to open his UEFA Champions League account for the campaign in the Czech capital.

Dumfries has already notched 10 times this season if you include the three occasions when he has scored for the Netherlands and a strike in the continent's top club competition is all that is missing.

He has started 2025 strongly with a brace in the SuperCoppa semi-final clash with Atalanta and he has also been on target in each of the Nerazzurri's last two league games against Bologna and Empoli.

Dumfries has had at least two attempts at goal in eight of his last 11 outings, including the last three in this competition, so it is worth taking a chance that he can make his mark on Wednesday.
