JAKARTA - Inter Milan will host Red Star Belgrade in the second match of the 2024/2025 Champions League at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, Wednesday, October 2, 2024, early morning WIB.

The Italian giant brought better provisions than the Red Star. In the first match, Inter drew against Manchester City (0-0), while The Star lost against Benfica (1-2).

However, looking at the journey in domestic competitions, the Red Star is in a slick performance unbeaten from nine matches, winning eight and drawing once.

The Star is now at the top of the Serbian Super League 2024/2025 standings with 25 points.

While Inter Milan are fourth in Serie A 2024/2025 with 11 points in six matches. They have won three games, drew twice, and lost once.

Not to mention the records in all competitions, Red Star won four times and lost one of the five most recent matches.

I Nerazzurri are no better with two wins, two draws, and one of the same final matches.

However, Inter Milan did not inferiorly see the record. You see, the Nerazzurri had positive statistics when they met the Red Star.

Inter and Red Star have met twice in the 1980/1981 Champions League quarter-finals (formerly known as the European League). In the first leg, the Nerazzurri won 1-0 and drew 1-1 in the second leg.

In addition, Simone Inzaghi's children can take advantage of Red Star Belgrade's poor record when they travel in the Champions League.

Since the 1992/1993 edition, The Star has lost nine of their away games.

These statistics can motivate the rise of Inter. Moreover, they will play in public themselves.

Although it is certain that they will play without Nicolo Barella, who is still a muscle injury and Tajon Buchanan who has a Tibia fracture, Inzaghi does not need to be dizzy.

The depth of the Inter squad is unquestionable. Marcus Thuram will be the mainstay. The striker appeared sensational by scoring four goals in six games he played this season.

Last season, he played 46 games in all competitions and scored 15 goals and provided 15 assists.

He had good physical strength and helped him hold the opposing defender and won the aerial duel.

Thuram has shown the ability to complete chances with both legs as well as often showing clinical advantages in front of goal.
