Soccer Tuesday, early UEFA Champions League matches: Miller picks Inter Milan vs Slavia Prague and Lyon vs Zenit St. Petersburg

Sean Miller

THE CHAMPIONNNNNNS!

The best club competition in the world is back in earnest Tuesday, as the first eight games of the UEFA Champions League group stage match day one take the stage.

Two Premier League teams will be in action, including the defending Champions League winner Liverpool, which has a tough game in Naples. Chelsea gets a Valencia team in disarray, after its coach was dismissed last week. Look for the Blues to capitalize in the capital.

There are two sets of matches each game day in the competition, with two 12:55 p.m. EDT kickoffs, then six 3 p.m. starts. In the two early matches, look for Inter Milan and Lyon to start their campaigns with victories. Lyon, in the "Group of Life", will think it has a chance to win the group with some early wins.
