Although Bayern have won their only three away games at Inter Milan so far, the balance between the two teams is balanced overall with three wins and one draw from seven competitive games. As is well known, the biggest duel went to the Lombards, who defeated the German record champions 2-0 in the 2010 Champions League final on neutral ground in Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabéu. It was the Nerazzurri’s third and last overall victory in this competition. Meanwhile, Bayern have six titles in the premier class.

The Nerazzurri have only won their opening game in one of their last six appearances in the Champions League preliminary round, when the opening game was played at the Giuseppe Meazza (three draws, two defeats). To make things work again today, Simone Inzaghi is making four changes to his team compared to the Milan city derby they lost: André Onana is making his debut in goal for Samir Handanovič (bench). Edin Džeko, Robin Gosens and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are also given preference over Stefan de Vrij, Matteo Darmian and Joaquín Correa (all three also on the bench).

Inter Milan experienced a very mixed start in Serie A. The Nerazzurri have won three of their first five league games, but have also suffered two painful defeats. On Saturday there was a 2-3 defeat in the Derby della Madonnina against city rivals AC Milan, which put the Biscione in eighth place in the current table with 11-8 goals. Incidentally, it could also be a good goal tonight. In the last ten Champions League games that Inter have played against a representative of the Bundesliga, a total of 39 goals have been scored – an average of 3.9 per game.

Most recently, Bayern did not get more than a 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga twice in a row, despite numerous chances. As a result, the German record champions lost their lead to SC Freiburg last weekend. Compared to the recent draw at Union Berlin, coach Julian Nagelsmann is sticking to his core team and only changing two positions: Lucas Hernández and Thomas Müller play for Dayot Upamecano and Jamal Musiala (both on the bench).

Bayern have won every one of their last 18 opening UEFA Champions League games since the 2003/04 season. In the last nine seasons, the Reds have always kept a clean sheet. Accordingly, the German record champion travels to San Siro, where things always went well, at least against the Nerazzurri. Away at Inter Milan, FCB has an impeccable record and has won all three European away games.
