Union SG vs Inter Milan prediction: Vulnerable hosts take on resurgent visitors
Key stats
- Union SG have kept one clean sheet in six, conceding six goals in their past three.
- Inter will be looking for a seventh consecutive victory on Tuesday – they lost two of their first three games of the season – and they have scored at least two goals in seven of their nine matches in 2025-26.
- The hosts have kept their opponents at bay in four of their seven home fixtures this term – they failed to do so in their last two at the ground – while Inter have won three of their four away games while keeping three consecutive clean sheets on the road.
Correct score prediction: Union SG 0-2 Inter Milan
It is difficult to look past Inter's outstanding form of late, as well as the fact that they have been excellent at both ends of the pitch.
Union SG have been vulnerable at home in recent outings, and they will almost certainly find it hard to compete with the Italian giants on Tuesday.
