Sparta Prague vs. Inter Milan predicted lineups, team news

For Sparta Prague, the main threats are Albion Rrahmaniwho found the net against Feyenoord, and Victor Olatunjiwith three direct goal contributions from as many Champions League starts. Despite their struggles, this duo offers the potential to trouble Inter’s resolute backline.

The hosts remain without long-term absentees Imanol Garcia and Angelo Preciadowhile Lukas Haraslin is doubtful due to a hamstring issue.

On the positive side, Elias Cobbaut might return to the squad, and recent additions Magnus Andersen and returning loanee Jan Kuchta could add fresh impetus to Sparta’s lineup.

Sparta Prague predicted XI (3-4-3, right to left): Jensen (GK) — Vitik, Panak, Zelezny — Wiesner, Laci, Kairinen, Rynes — Birmancevic, Olatunji, Rrahmani.

Injured: Preciado (Meniscus), Albeniz (ACL), Haraslin (thigh)
Suspended: None

Inter Milan continue to cope without Yann Bisseck, Hakan Calhanogluand Joaquin Correaall sidelined through injury.

However, they have received a boost with the return of defensive stalwarts Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbiwhile Henrikh Mkhitaryan made a comeback as a substitute on Sunday. Whether he will replace Piotr Zielinski in the starting XI remains uncertain.

Up front, Lautaro Martinez is expected to lead the line again after rediscovering his scoring touch. The Argentine striker, now tied with Mauro Icardi as Inter’s second-highest foreign scorer, could be key to breaking down Sparta’s defense as Simone Inzaghi seeks to confirm qualification.

Inter Milan predicted XI (3-5-2, right to left): Sommer (GK) — Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni — Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Zielinski, Dimarco — Martinez, Thuram.

Injured: Calhanoglu (muscle), Correa (calf), Di Gennaro (Finger), Bisseck (muscle)
