Inter Milan head into Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Slavia Prague full of confidence after their 2-0 Serie A win away at Cagliari.
Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Francesco Pio Esposito sealed victory in Sardinia, giving Cristian Chivu’s side their third consecutive win in all competitions.
The Nerazzurri’s focus now shifts to Europe.
Chivu’s men began their continental campaign with a victory in Amsterdam against Ajax.
Another three points would leave them well-placed to secure early qualification from the league phase
Last season, Inter collected 19 points in the league stage before reaching the knockout rounds.
This year, the aim is to secure progress even earlier, as noted by FCInter1908.
Victory over the Czech side would take Inter to six points from six, with the chance to build further momentum against upcoming opponents.
A strong start could help the Nerazzurri avoid the uncertainty of the playoff round, making Tuesday’s match at San Siro a vital early test.
