Comments and predictions for Inter Milan vs RB Leipzig: Winning by luck

After contrasting starts to their Champions League campaigns, Inter Milan and RB Leipzig meet at the San Siro on Tuesday evening.

Inter Milan remain unbeaten and firmly in the top eight, while German side RB Leipzig have yet to pick up a point in this season's Champions League group stage.

Latest Inter Milan vs RB Leipzig squad information

It remains unclear whether captain Lautaro Martinez will be available to start alongside Marcus Thuram on Tuesday night after returning late from international duty with Argentina due to illness, leaving Mehdi Taremi, Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa – who scored in a rare start at the weekend – to compete for attacking spots.

Similarly, creative midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu picked up a thigh injury on international duty with Turkey and missed Saturday's win, so Kristjan Asllani is available to replace him. Francesco Acerbi also came off early against Verona and could miss out.

If veteran centre-back Acerbi is unavailable, Benjamin Pavard or Stefan de Vrij will take his place and join Yann Sommer – who has saved all 14 shots on target in the Champions League this season – in Inter's back three.

On Leipzig's side, the duo Eljif Elmas and Yussuf Poulsen both suffered injuries during the national team training session, while El Chadaille Bitshiabu also had problems in recent training.

Midfielder Xavi Simons and left-back David Raum are also struggling with ankle problems. In Simons' absence, Christoph Baumgartner will step in and provide support for the dangerous attacking duo Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

With three goals, Sesko is now Leipzig's top scorer in the Champions League this season, while winger Antonio Nusa is also in fine form: he scored three times in Norway's two UEFA Nations League games this month and continued his scoring streak over the weekend.

Latest football commentary Inter Milan vs RB Leipzig

After starting their Champions League campaign with a dogged 0-0 draw at Manchester City - who beat them in the 2023 final - Inter Milan have since won against Red Star Belgrade and Arsenal at the San Siro, with a 1-0 win over Young Boys in Switzerland in between.

Having kept a clean sheet against Arsenal, Inter are yet to concede a goal in European competition this season; another clean sheet on Tuesday night would see them equal Manchester United's record in 2010, when they were the last team to start with five consecutive clean sheets.

Hakan Calhanoglu's first-half penalty sealed all three points against Arsenal, and they are now unbeaten in 11 home Champions League games, winning nine and keeping nine clean sheets. This impressive run has seen Inter reach the knockout stages for the third season in a row, and Simone Inzaghi's side are currently fourth in their group midway through this season's group stage.

Despite occasional shaky performances in Serie A, the Nerazzurri kept a clean sheet in a 5-0 win over Hellas Verona last weekend, with Marcus Thuram scoring twice to give them only the second time in their history they have scored five goals in the first half of an away Serie A game.

Before the international break, Inter came from behind to draw 1-1 with title rivals Napoli at the San Siro, and that was their only goal conceded in their last five games since a dramatic eight-goal Derby d'Italia. With just one defeat in 16 games this season - against AC Milan in September - Inter will face Leipzig, the first German side they have faced in the Champions League.

As for RB Leipzig, this team is preparing for the first time participating in the Champions League on Italian soil, but they have already defeated both Napoli and Atalanta BC in the Europa League and will not be under pressure when traveling to Milan.

However, Leipzig have no room for error in the remaining stages of the group stage, as they face the threat of elimination after four straight defeats. After a 3-1 defeat to Celtic at Celtic Park, Die Roten Bullen are just one defeat away from equalling their longest losing streak in Champions League history, and could be left to rue the loss.

Marco Rose's side have missed plenty of chances, dropping nine points from leading positions, with three draws after taking the lead - against Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Celtic. These problems appear to have affected their impressive Bundesliga form, with Leipzig losing just two of their last 24 games, but both of those defeats have come in their last three Bundesliga games, including a defeat at Hoffenheim last weekend.

Leipzig led three times but were still beaten in a seven-goal affair, with the four goals conceded in this game just one short of their total in their first 10 Bundesliga games. Veteran goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi went 510 minutes without conceding a goal in the Bundesliga this season - a new club record - but recent errors will be a concern. However, Leipzig are still third in the Bundesliga and can be confident of being underdogs at the San Siro.
