Inter vs Viktoria Plzen Prediction: Simone Inzaghi's team cannot afford to lose

If Inter beat Viktoria Plzen, they will secure a place in the Champions League playoffs. Will Simone Inzaghi's side succeed?

The team almost solved the problem of qualifying from the Champions League group stage in the third and fourth rounds when Inter managed to pick up four points in the matches against Barcelona. First, the Nerazzurri beat Barça 1:0 on home soil. Then, they drew 3:3 at Camp Nou in one of their best Champions League encounters.

Last weekend, Inter played another very entertaining match as they beat Fiorentina 4:3 away in the Italian championship. Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the decisive goal after halftime.

The Czech Republic champion is expected to approach the fifth round of the Champions League group stage without gaining a single point. What else would you expect from Viktoria, who is in a group with Inter, Barcelona, and Bayern?

Viktoria is doing far better in the domestic league than in European competitions. Having beaten Banik Ostrava 3:1 in the previous round, they secured their place at the top of the table and have a handicap of 4 points over their nearest pursuer.

After their excellent games against Barcelona, they can't afford to lose against Viktoria Plzen. Why else would they have struggled so hard against Barça? It's likely that Inter, being heavily motivated, will confidently solve the task. Viktoria lost 1:5 away to Barcelona and 0:5 to Bayern in this competition. The same thing is likely to happen at Giuseppe Meazza.
