Inter form and stats

Inter participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Inter, as their goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has completely shut out the opponents for 393 minutes in the Serie A.

The Inter supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Getafe in Europa League and win 2-0. A strong away win before that one, visiting Atalanta and winning 2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
