Lautaro Martinez should be licking his lips at the prospect of facing this Liverpool backline. The Argentine already has four Champions League goals to his name after four appearances - the only team he failed to score against was Atletico Madrid, but even then, he registered three shots, hitting the target once. 

Martinez has been a key reason for Inter’s success this season, and he is averaging 4.34 shots per 90 in all competitions - no Inter Milan player has taken more shots than the captain this campaign. 

The 28-year-old has been a real leader from the front, and comes into this clash in excellent form. After scoring 22 goals in all competitions last season, Martinez already has 11 goals to his name after just 18 appearances this term, with three of those goals coming in his last two starts alone.

Spurs will fancy their chances of making it back-to-back wins, given that Slavia Prague are still yet to record a win in the Champions League this season, languishing down in 31st place. Worryingly, the Czech side have failed to score in any of their last four European outings, highlighting their struggles in the final third. 

Slavia Prague have already faced a side from North London in the Champions League this term, and it won’t bring back fond memories. They were easily defeated by Arsenal, who restricted the hosts to just nine shots worth 0.47 xG. 

The Red and Whites did manage to take a point from their last away match in Europe against Atalanta, but prior to that were beaten 3-0 by Inter Milan. The hosts racked up 21 shots and nine big chances worth 3.99 xG, while the visitors mustered up just three shots worth 0.11 xG in return. 

These are two of the most attacking sides in Europe, so it’s hard to see how we get a low goal count in this clash. Frankfurt have seen 20 goals across their five matches in the league phase so far this campaign (4.0 per game), but their attacking approach hasn’t been that effective with just one win from those games.

Barcelona’s approach is also very risky, and has caused them problems in the Champions League with just two wins from their five matches. They’ve seen 22 goals across their five games (4.4 per game) and have seen BTTS in four of their five Champions League matches, only failing to score against Chelsea, which is a very rare occurrence for this Barcelona side.

Hansi Flick’s side have seen BTTS in each of their three matches since that 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They’ve managed to come out on top in all three of those games, offering a potential angle for BTTS and Barcelona to win in this Champions League clash.

Atletico Madrid’s transfer business during the summer window signalled a slight shift away from the mainly pragmatic approach that Diego Simeone has opted for in recent seasons. We’re seeing that play out in the Champions League, with Atletico Madrid seeing 22 goals across their five league phase matches so far (4.4 per game).

For context, Atletico Madrid only conceded 12 goals across their eight league phase matches in the Champions League last term - they’ve already conceded 10 this time around. They come into this clash having seen BTTS in two of their last five matches across all competitions, and may be dragged into a high-scoring affair here against a PSV side that have seen 12 goals across their two home matches in the league phase so far (6.0 per game).

Atletico Madrid have seen BTTS in four of their five matches in the Champions League this term, only failing to score against Arsenal, which is easily forgivable as the Gunners have the best defensive setup and record in Europe. PSV have seen BTTS in all five of their Champions League matches, setting up another clash where both sides can find the back of the net.
