Inter vs FK Crvena Zvezda Preview
Inter
The beginning of the 24/25 season seemed promising for Simone Inzaghi, as the head coach oversaw three draws and two victories in the first five games.
The most important draw in all these is the last one from two weeks ago (0-0 vs Manchester City). The game wasn’t in Milano but in Manchester, where Inzaghi’s tactics stopped Manchester City from creating chances.

Few teams dare to play with bold tactics against Pep Guardiola’s Citizens, but this courage allowed him to find a draw at the Etihad. This lasted until the 18th of September. Until then, everything seemed great.
The Milan Derby, only a few days after the City game, seemed to promise a victory for Inter. Except it didn’t, as AC Milan took the three points home in an intense 2-1 victory. Matteo Gabbia’s goal in the 89th minute secured the win for AC Milan, despite Inter’s equalizer through Federico Di Marco in the 27th minute.
Nonetheless, Inter moved on with a 3-2 victory against Udinese, marked by a brace signed by Lautaro Martinez.

Crvena Zvezda’s 24/25 perfect run in the Serbian league was clouded by their opening game in the Champions League.
The Belgrade-based team welcomed Benfica, which ended in a 2-1 victory for the visitors. They will travel to San Siro after two victories in the Serbian league (4-0 vs. Partizan & 2-1 vs. Železničar).

For Crvena Zvezda, the challenge will be to show a better face in Europe after failing to capitalize on their chances in Belgrade. The Serbs are known for their atmosphere at home, making the clash in San Siro against Inter Milan tougher. It should be mentioned that the team won’t be able to count on Ognjen Mimović and Mirko Ivanić.

Inter might not be leading the Serie A as the defending champions, but this doesn’t mean that Inzaghi and the team will abandon their European glory endeavors. Their 0-0 draw against Manchester City at the Etihad proved that they remain a world-class team that is still difficult to beat.

Crvena Zvezda will have difficulties visiting San Siro and lacks confidence upfront (as was seen in the 2-1 defeat against Benfica in Beograd). Crvena Zvezda is part of the weaker teams of, which means that Inter is expected to capitalize on the opportunity.
However, Simone Inzaghi will have to do without Nicolo Barella, who is out with an injury. This is a major blow to the team as Barella is essential to the team’s build-up, given his athletic build and the responsibilities he carries with the team when carrying the ball. Despite his absence being felt against Udinese, David Frattesi filled in for his role and the Italian midfielder is expected to start against Crvena Zvezda on Tuesday.
The greatness of Inzaghi lies in the fact that his system works despite switching players, which means that it’s unlikely to see major changes on Tuesday.
Inter vs Crvena Zvezda Betting Tip
- Pick: Inter to score First in the first half
- Odds: 3.3 (22Bet)
The strength of Inzaghi’s system is that the team can storm Crvena Zvezda in both wings. Di Marco already scored this weekend against Udinese, showcasing his talent going forward. But the team’s striker-pairing, composed of Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram is another major anchor of the team’s attacking dynamics.
Considering that Zvezda haven’t been able to maintain a defensively sound system, this will likely become a problem for the visitors during the match.

Furthermore, the midfield battle will be the most important. Frattesi has been mentioned earlier, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan is another midfielder who provides the needed stability for Frattesi to advance higher up the pitch.
Crvena Zvezda must also watch out for Matteo Darmian, who could storm the flanks from the right wing. Inter Milan’s unique way of playing allows every player to be involved, as the system is versatile enough.

Tracking the marker or the zone will be key for Crvena Zvezda if they want to avoid getting scored on quickly. Inter Milan often tends to open the score in the first half (Frattesi scored in the first minute against Udinese), meaning the Serbian visitors must be alert at all times.
