Stefano Sensi sustained a knee injury in Inter's 2-2 draw at Sampdoria after being unable to finish the match having replaced Hakan Calhanoglu midway through the second half. However, better news for Simone Inzaghi is that Alessandro Bastoni has recovered from a thigh problem sustained on international duty. Lautaro Martinez and Joaquin Correa are in competition to partner Edin Dzeko. David Alaba has been included in the Real Madrid squad for the trip to Inter and is expected to start at centre-back alongside Eder Militao. Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy and Toni Kroos all miss the meeting with Inter. Miguel Gutierrez may keep his place at left-back, though Carlo Ancelotti could use Alaba here and partner Nacho with Militao in defence.
Inter were twice pegged back by Sampdoria on Sunday as their 100% start to the campaign ended in a 2-2 draw. The Nerazzurri have made a solid start to the campaign, no less, and despite the departures of Antonio Conte, Achraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku, remain in a strong position. Real Madrid returned to the Bernabeu on Sunday night and marked the occasion with a 5-2 win over Celta Vigo. Los Blancos beat Inter home and away in the group stages last season and have been superb in the final third, scoring 13 goals in their four league matches so far. However, Los Blancos have been far from solid defensively and that could mean goals in this blockbuster clash at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. 2:2
Real Madrid have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 3 matches against Inter in all competitions. Real Madrid have won their last 3 matches against Inter in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in Real Madrid's last 3 games (Champions League). Real Madrid have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches against Inter in all competitions.
Even though Inter have had success on home soil against Real Madrid, last season's encounter with the Spanish giants proved to be a challenge and another difficult game could be on the cards on Wednesday. We expect goals from this blockbuster clash at the San Siro, though Ancelotti's men should have enough to take away all three points.
