THE KEY STATS
- Inter have lost only one of their last 12 Champions League matches (W7 D4).
- Inter have won only two of their last 15 UEFA club competition matches against Spanish teams (D3 L10).
- A win or draw for Inter would see them complete a UCL group campaign unbeaten for the second time. They previously did so in 2004/05 (W4 D2).
- Real Sociedad are unbeaten in their last six UEFA club competition matches (W3 D3).
- Real Sociedad have won only one of their previous nine European matches against Italian clubs (D4 L4). A 2-0 home win vs Inter in the UEFA Cup in October 1979 is their only previous victory against Italian opposition.
- Real Sociedad have kept seven clean sheets in their last 11 UEFA club competition matches.
THE PREDICTION
Having already secured their passage to the knockout stage, Real Sociedad are looking to make history by winning a Champions League group for the very first time. To achieve this, they must prevent Inter Milan from recording what would be a fifth consecutive home win in this stage of the Champions League. Both these two teams are known for their defensive solidity and neither backline will be easy to breakdown over the course of this game. Inter may also look to rotate their starting XI, which may have an adverse effect on the hosts’ performance. As was the case when these sides clashed in Spain, it would be no surprise if neither can be separated over the course of this encounter.
TIP: DRAW
