Real Madrid and Inter get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Inter, who are travelling more than 1500 kilometers to play this game.
Real Madrid form and stats
Last season, Madrid's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals against Manchester City.Real Madrid have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the La Liga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.
The Madrid supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Huesca in La Liga and win 4-1. A 2-2 draw away in the Champions League before that, with Borussia M'gladbach the opponent.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Madrid have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won two times, drawn zero and lost zero.
Madrid have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Madrid are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Inter form and stats
They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the group stage.The seven points Inter have gathered from their first three away trips in the Serie A is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Juventus game have they lost an away game, meaning Inter has taken points from nine away matches in a row.
Inter's last game was the home draw against Parma (2-2). Before that, Inter travelled to Shakhtar Donetsk and returned home with a draw after the Champions League game finished 0-0.
The match against Parma looked like a defeat for Inter, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Ivan Perišić equalized in the 90th minute.
Inter are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of one match.
Inter create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 8 goals in 3 travels. Inter have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
