Inter Milan are one step away from locking down a sought-after place in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
According to FCInterNews, the reigning Serie A champions need only four points from the last two rounds to secure a top-eight finish.
Simone Inzaghi had overseen a near-flawless European campaign before a heartbreaking loss at Bayer Leverkusen last time out.
However, the Italian giants are still in control of their qualification fate.
Indeed, they only need one win from the final two matchdays to qualify directly for the last-16.
Tonight’s away match against Sparta Prague could almost seal the deal for the Nerazzurri.
Inter’s chances of avoiding playoffs have grown after last night’s games.
But to hold up their end of the bargain, Inzaghi’s men must bag four points against Sparta and Monaco.
Since the latter toppled Aston Villa last night to bolster their qualification hopes, beating the Czech side has become imperative.
Therefore, Inzaghi will probably field his best starting eleven in Prague tonight.
Indeed, Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram will lead the line in Europe for the first time this term.
Inter head into proceedings in high spirits after beating Empoli 3-1 last weekend to close the gap on Serie A leaders Napoli.
