Inter Milan are back in action with another important match in the UEFA Champions League this week as they take on Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday. Both teams have made poor starts to their European campaigns and will need to step up in this fixture.
Viktoria Plzen are in second place in the Czech First League and have been fairly impressive on the domestic front so far. The home side edged Sigma to a 3-2 victory over the weekend and will need to adapt to a different class of opposition in this match.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the Serie A table at the moment and are yet to hit their stride this season. The Nerazzurri edged Torino to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week on the continental stage.
