On December 10, 2025, at 4:00 AM Beijing Time (December 9, 8:00 PM local time), the Champions League will feature a key matchup as an Italian powerhouse hosts a Premier League contender. Currently, the Italian side sits fourth in their group with 12 points, while their English opponents are in 13th place with 9 points. Both teams urgently need points to secure progression to the knockout stage.
The Italian side has been in excellent form, winning 7 and losing 3 of their last 10 matches. Recently, they achieved a three-game winning streak with commanding victories over Como, Venezia, and Pisa. Their attacking line is in fine form, with several forwards performing exceptionally. In midfield, multiple key players are available, and the defense is anchored by experienced players. However, defenders Dignanaro, Palacios, Damian, and Dumfries are unavailable due to injuries, slightly weakening the backline.
The Premier League team has struggled recently, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 matches. They drew their last two games against Leeds United and Sunderland, and previously suffered defeats to Eindhoven, Nottingham, and Manchester City. Their defense has shown vulnerability. While their goalkeeper and some defenders are fit, several key players, including Chambers, Scanlon, Leoni, Bajcetic, and Flynpon, are sidelined with injuries, reducing squad depth.
Considering all factors, the Italian team benefits from excellent recent form, home advantage, and a relatively complete squad. Their attack is capable of consistently creating scoring opportunities. The Premier League side’s defense is weakened by injuries, and their recent away performances have been inconsistent. Therefore, the predicted scoreline for this match is 2-1 or 2-0 in favor of the Italian side.
Recommendation: Home Win
