Internazionale will look to protect their unbeaten start early in the UEFA Champions League group stage when they play host to Salzburg at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday.

 

Inter won for the first time in the competition this season in their last group stage match 1-0 at home against Benfica. Marcus Thuram was on the scoresheet in the win. They are undefeated in their last four games in all competitions (W3 D1 L0) heading into the contest against Salzburg.

 

Salzburg suffered a first competition loss of the campaign following the 2-0 defeat at home in their last group stage match against Real Sociedad. They are winless in their last three games in all competitions (W0 D1 L2).

 

Inter are second in the group on four points, while Salzburg's three points place them third. With four points, Real Sociedad are leading the group. Benfica are fourth on zero points.

 

It was Inter who emerged victorious in the previous encounter between the teams in August, beating Salzburg 4-3.

 

Thuram and Lautaro Martínez have caught the eye for Inter in Champions League play. The two players are the team's joint top scorers with one goal. Thuram has scored the tone-setting first goal of the match once. Visitors Salzburg have been helped by Oscar Gloukh and Roko Simic, who have each scored once in this season's Champions League.

 

The hosts have scored in 11 straight contests across all competitions. They haven't been shut out since a Champions League meeting with Manchester City in June.

 

Hosts Inter played their only home contest to date of this Champions League season in their win over Benfica.

 

Salzburg were victorious in their only prior contest away from Red Bull Arena in the competition this season. The Austrian side currently find themselves on a 16-match away unbeaten streak (W12 D4 L0) in all competitions.

 

In their last six matches in all competitions, Inter have won four, drawn one and lost one. They scored 12 and conceded four in that period, scoring first in all six contests. They had three first-half goals, while their opponents netted once in the first 45 minutes. Salzburg have won two, drawn one and lost three in their last six. They scored 10 and conceded six over that period, netting first in three of the six. Most of their goals (six) came in the first half, while their opponents netted four times before the break.
