A chance to climb
Inter Club d’Escaldes sit 35th of 36 in the UEFA Europa Conference League standings, 13 places and one point behind FK Crvena Zvezda. Both teams have played twice, leaving Inter without a point and with a goal difference of -4. A result in Belgrade would give the Andorran side an opportunity to start climbing the table, without the position alone deciding what lies ahead.
Crvena Zvezda are 22nd on one point, with a goal difference of -1. The Serbian side will also want to improve its position, but the immediate standings give Inter a clear target: close the gap on Crvena Zvezda, who are 13 places above them.
Inter need to halt their slide
Inter’s latest Conference League result was a defeat, extending their current run to two losses in a row. Across their last five matches in this competition, they have recorded two wins, a draw and two defeats, scoring eight goals and conceding seven.
Crvena Zvezda’s two Conference League matches have brought a defeat followed by a draw. They have scored four and conceded five, with their most recent result a draw. At home in this competition, they drew their one match, scoring twice and conceding twice.
Competition records offer Inter some hope
Across six Conference League matches, Inter have three wins, a draw and two defeats, with 10 goals scored, seven conceded and three clean sheets. Their away record in the competition is one win, one draw and one defeat: six goals scored, four conceded and one clean sheet. Those figures span six matches in this competition only.
Crvena Zvezda have yet to win in their two matches, taking one point and conceding five goals. They have also conceded twice in their sole home appearance in the competition, so Inter can look for openings even as they seek to arrest their losing run.
Our prediction
The standings give Inter a reason to push for points, but Crvena Zvezda’s home advantage and the model’s strong lean towards the Serbian side make the hosts favourites. The model’s most likely score is a home win with Inter held scoreless.
