Guarany de Bage vs Internacional Prediction & Betting Tips (22 January)

Sparta Prague still has a glimmer of hope of qualifying for the play-offs but this will depend both on its last two results which must be successful and on the results of the main candidates for the 24th and final qualifying place for a play-off. accession to round-16. Clearly, there is little chance of seeing the Czechs reach the top 24. It must be said that they remain on four very significant defeats in the competition against Manchester City at the Etihad 5-0, for the reception of the valiant Brestois 1- 2, leaving their number to Atlético 0-6, and on the lawn of Feyenoord in the last place 4-2. The local championship has not yet resumed its rights, and at the break, Sparta is clearly below the leader Slavia with 13 lengths behind. At the start of the calendar year, Sparta will have played Malmö and Bodo/Glimt in friendlies in order to keep the pace. Finalist of the 2023 edition, Inter disappointed last year by exiting in the 1/8 finals against Atlético Madrid.

However, on a national level, the Nerazzurri did not disappoint, winning their 20th Scudetto in their history and winning a 3rd Italian Supercopa. Coming back to this Supercopa, they ceded their reign to neighboring Milan, AC Milan, losing in the final 2-3 while leading two goals to nothing. The entry of a certain Leao at the hour mark literally upset the plans of the Interists. In the Champions League, Inter had a wonderful campaign up until J6 with a draw against City in Manchester 0-0, a victory against Red Star Belgrade 4-0, a success in the money-time against Young Boys in Switzerland 0-1, and still with the lowest score against Arsenal and Leipzig at home 1-0. However, traveling to the Bayer Arena, the Italians this time felt the hatred of a defeat by the smallest of scores against Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 while conceding their first goal in the competition. 

The offensive player Haraslin (5 goals, 2 assists in the league) remains injured and may not have the green light from the medical staff. Same case for Preciado and Imanol Garcia (injured). In order to give hope to supporters, the main figureheads in the championship will be operational. In this case Olatunji (6 goals), the Birmancevic duo and the Kosovar international Rrahmani (4 goals, 2 assists each in the elite), without forgetting Krasniqi (3 goals). Author of 2 pawns in C1, the Finnish Kairinen will be one to watch.

 Hard blow for Simone Inzaghi (coach) who will not be able to count on French international Marcus Thuram (12 goals in SA) injured after the Supercopa semi-final against Atalanta. During the final, it was the Turkish international Calhanoglu (2 goals in C1) who had to come out due to injury (uncertain). Centrals Acerbi, Pavard and goalkeeper Di Gennaro have been injured for a while and will not participate in this game. The Argentine international Lautaro Martinez (6 goals, 2 assists in SA) will be there as will the Italian internationals Dimarco and Barella and the Iranian international Taremi (ex-Porto).
