(Football news) After a 1-1 draw in their September rematch, the two clubs have advanced to the round of 16 without suffering a setback and will be determined to end their group stage campaign on a high note.

In Serie A’s Saturday night kickoff, Inter easily defeated Udinese 4-0 to reclaim top spot in Italy, their 15th win of the season coming after a 3-0 loss to reigning champions Napoli the previous week.

Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, and Hakan Calhanoglu—who had earlier scored an incredible goal against the Scudetto holders—all scored in the first half, and late in the game, captain Lautaro Martinez scored his 14th league goal of the year.

The Nerazzurri are fighting it out with Juventus for first place, and with a two-point edge after 15 games, most analysts have them as the favorite to win the championship. They have only lost once all season, a shocking loss to Sassuolo.

With 11 points in Group D, Inzaghi’s team has already advanced to the Champions League knockout stages along with Tuesday’s opponents after their thrilling 3–3 draw with Benfica in their previous European match.

Even though Arnautovic, Frattesi, and Sanchez’s goals helped his team rally from a three-goal deficit to tie the game in Lisbon, Inzaghi’s significantly altered squad has only lost once in their previous 12 games in the UEFA Champions League, that being against Manchester City in the previous season’s championship.

They now wrap off their fruitful group stage campaign in Milan, where they have won six of their previous seven home matches in the Champions League, including both of this season’s games.

By the way, Inter last won all three group games at home against reigning champions Real Sociedad in 2010. This week, they may match that record by defeating Real Sociedad, whom they will host for the first time since a UEFA Cup tie around 44 years ago.
