Inter Milan reassured themselves before their second European meeting by winning at Udinese (2-3) during the 6th day of Serie A this Saturday. Simone Inzaghi’s players remained in 2 draws at Monza (1-1) and Manchester City (0-0) then in 1 derby lost against AC Milan (1-2) on September 22 at Giuseppe Meazza.
Red Star Belgrade got off to a very bad start to its European campaign since the Serbian club was defeated at the Rajko Mitic Stadium by Benfica (1-2) on September 19. The leader of the Super Liga ahead of OFK Beograd subsequently signed 2 successes in the Serbian championship on the field of Partizan Belgrade (0-4) and against Zeleznicar Pancevo (2-1) this Friday evening. With only 1 success in his last 11 Champions League matches (8 defeats), it is difficult to see how Milojevic’s players could upset the Interists in Lombardy.
Inter Milan regrets the withdrawal of its midfielder Nicolo Barella (thigh) and its striker Tajon Buchanan (shin) for the reception of Red Star Belgrade. The Serbian club has only one absence at the moment, that of its midfielder Vladimir Lucic (knee).
After 3 first days without success, Argentine international striker Lautaro Martinez was decisive during the last two outings in Serie A with 1 assist for Dimarco during the derby lost against AC Milan (1-2) then a double, the first of the season, on the Udinese field (2-3), allowing his club to win and join the Top 4 of Calcio. On fire during the first 3 days of Serie A with 4 goals, French international striker Marcus Thuram has been at a standstill since, only managing to provide an assist for Lautaro Martinez in Friuli during his last 4 outings in club.
Author of an assist for Milson during Red Star’s defeat against Benfica (1-2) in C1, Senegalese striker Cherif Ndiaye, author of 7 goals in 7 days of the championship, scored a hat-trick during of the big victory on the ground of Partisan Belgrade (0-4) on September 23. With a playing time of 24 minutes against Zeleznicar Pancevo this weekend, the former Beveren player did not have the opportunity and the necessary time to shine.
With Marcus Thuram “down” for 4 matches, Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez could take the opportunity to shine the spotlight. Author of a double on the field of Udinese (2-3) this weekend, the World Champion has unlocked his goal counter this season and the latter hopes to confirm against the Red Star of Belgrade during this 2nd European day at Giuseppe Meazza. The Serbian club, which conceded 2 goals at home against Benfica, could concede several in Lombardy against the reigning Italian Champion and a rediscovered Lautaro Martinez.
Our prediction Inter Milan – Red Star Belgrade : Lautaro Martinez scorer!
Inter Milan won by 2 or more
Red Star Belgrade has lost 3 of its last 4 European trips with a difference of 2 goals in Manchester City (3-1), in Leipzig (3-1) and in Switzerland against Young Boys Bern (2-0) during the 2023-2024 season. After their heroic draw at Manchester City (0-0), Inter Milan absolutely must win at home against this Serbian team in order to climb into the Top 8 of this C1. The goal difference could be decisive, the Lombard club must win with a big margin.
Total goals – Inter Milan: Over 2.5
Red Star have conceded 13 goals in their last 5 trips to the Champions League. The Serbian club took 5 during its double confrontation against Leipzig and 6 against Manchester City last season! The Nerazzurri scored 3 against Udinese this weekend and they have the 2nd best attack in Serie A with 13 goals in 6 days just behind AC Milan and their 14 goals.
