?Inter head to the Czech Republic on Wednesday night in the Champions League to take on Slavia Prague in what is a crucial game for Antonio Conte’s side.
Inter sit in third after a disappointing European campaign so far, but are just three points behind Borussia Dortmund in second. If they want to qualify for the knockout stages of Europe’s elite competition, they will have to take home the three points here.
However, should Slavia Prague win, then they would replace the Italian side in third spot and be in pole position to get into the Europa League.
