Sheriff Tiraspol and Inter Milan is the only fixture in European competition to have been played by a Moldovan and an Italian team – Inter won 3-1 against them last time out on MD3.
Including qualifiers, Sheriff Tiraspol’s defeat against Inter on MD3 was their first defeat in European competition since August 2020, ending a run of 11 games unbeaten (W8 D3).
Following their win over Sheriff Tiraspol last time out, Inter Milan will be looking to record consecutive wins in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since October 2018 (a run of three).
In major European competition, the last team to beat Sheriff Tiraspol away from home was Tottenham Hotspur in the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League – the Moldovan side are unbeaten in their last five home games across the UEFA Europa League and Champions League (W3 D2).
Sheriff Tiraspol are unbeaten in their last five home games in major European competition (excluding qualifiers), winning each of the last two, including their first ever home game in the UEFA Champions League (2-0 v Shakhtar Donetsk on MD1 this season).
Inter Milan have only lost one of their last five away games in the UEFA Champions League (W2 D2), with their lone defeat in this run coming away to Real Madrid in November 2020.
Each of Inter Milan’s last 17 goals away from home in the UEFA Champions League have been scored from open play. Their last goal from a set piece in an away game in the competition came in September 2011, with Brazilian defender Lúcio scoring from a corner.
