Italian giants Inter take on RB Leipzig at the San Siro in the round five action of the league stage.
Inter Milan have been in fantastic form this season and are coming into this game on the back of a dominating 5-0 win over Hellas Verona.
This win has seen them move back to second position for now level on points with leaders Atalanta. Simone Inzaghi’s team have also made an eye-catching start in the competition winning three of four games while drawing the other one as they occupy fifth spot in the overall standings.
RB Leipzig on the other hand are going through a poor run of form having failed to win any of their previous four games. The Red Bulls also have failed to establish themselves in the competition having lost all of their four games.
Currently languishing in the 32nd spot, time is running out for Marco Rose’s team to climb up the table before it gets too late for them.
Marcus Thuram has been in scintillating form for Inter Milan this season having already scored eight goals this season and is coming into this game after scoring a brace against Hellas Verona.
Inter have pulled a masterstroke by signing him on a free transfer as they are ripping the rewards now. Thuram has demonstrated his ruthlessness this season having already overshadowed Lautaro Martinez as the man of the moment for them.
Benjamin Sesko has become one of the key players for RB Leipzig due to his excellent goal-scoring prowess and ability to be the difference maker in the team.
At just 21 years old, he has the world at his feet and only needs to fulfil his potential having already scored seven goals this season in all competitions. While Sesko is a pacey striker, it is his physical strength that has stood out as he can be a menace from set pieces.
Inter secured a narrow 1-0 win against Arsenal in the last group game. RB Leipzig were defeated by Celtic with a 3-1 scoreline in the last group game. This will be the first time, these two sides will face each other.
