Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Inter will look to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich when they face Plzen in the Champions League group stages round 2. The Nerazzurri are desperate to record their first win of the process, and the good news for the visiting side is that important attacker Romelu Lukaku is back in training. The Belgian striker is expected to play some part in Tuesday’s clash, while Simone Inzaghi has no fresh injury worries.
Plzen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to ten-man Barcelona. The Czechs do not seem to be competitive at this level; therefore, anything but a routine away win would be a major surprise. All Kliment, Kopic, and Reznik have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the home side, who take on Inter for the first time in the elite competition.
Highlighted Player (Ivan Perisic):
Ivan Perisic is a Croatian football player born on 2nd of February 1989 in Split. Perisic started his football career in the youth of Hajduk Split where FC Sochaux discovered him by a very young age. After playing for FC Sochaux, Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg Inter Milan transferred him for approximately 17 million euro.
Perisic made his debut for the Croatian national team in 2011. Perisic played in all big tournaments so far such as the EURO 2012 and the World Cup 2014. In several EURO 2016 qualification matches Perisic was the captain of the national team.
Perisic is known for being a strong right-footed attacking midfielder. Because of his strength and vision it’s hard to win a duel against Perisic. One of Perisic’ biggest weaknesses is his lack of technique which is required to play for the biggest football clubs. Perisic won several prizes in his career but didn’t always play a big role in them. In season 2010/2011 Perisic was topscorer of the highest Belgian football division scoring 22 goals.
Highlighted Team (Inter):
