(Football news)  The team that lost to the finalists the previous season is undefeated in Group D, but Simone Inzaghi needs to be cautious because their opponents have the ability to dazzle the Milan crowd. In Inter’s most recent European match, Lautaro Martinez fluffed a few opportunities, but it didn’t matter because Inzaghi’s team defeated Benfica 1-0.

After winning their 50th Champions League group stage encounter, Inter will look to win their 51st on Tuesday as they go into the game as favourites to earn all possible points.

The runners-up from the previous campaign defeated Torino in Serie A this past weekend to maintain their outstanding start to the new campaign. Marcus Thuram, who scored goals in Turin and won the match against the Portuguese team on matchday two, may play a key role.

The Frenchman has gotten along well with Martinez from the start of the season, but he also gets along well with Denzel Dumfries, who has occasionally set up the striker, most recently on Saturday against Torino.

Inter is the favourite to win Group D thanks to Inzaghi’s experience with the Cup, and they might advance in the first of their two matches against Salzburg.

Real Sociedad defeated Salzburg 2-0 to deny Salzburg the opportunity to start the competition’s group stage as the first Austrian team to win two games in a row.

After giving up twice in the first thirty minutes of the match, Salzburg found themselves in a losing struggle at home, with no chance of catching up.

They did surprise Benfica on the opening day of the competition, losing 2-0 at Estadio da Luz to snap an eight-game losing streak away from home. They are now looking for back-to-back victories while traveling.

With just one league win in their previous five games against the Austrian giants LASK, Gerhard Struber’s team’s preparations for their matchup with Inter were less than ideal.
