Inter Milan vs Club Brugge pits two sides still chasing their first Champions League points, and the San Siro hosts look well placed to put that right.
Inter were beaten 2-1 at Real Madrid despite bossing the ball, but Cristian Chivu's side have steadied domestically and arrive off a 3-0 home thumping of Parma.
Club Brugge lost 3-2 at home to Aston Villa, but Ivan Leko's side have since won three straight in all competitions and bring real attacking momentum to Milan.
This is the first competitive meeting between the clubs. Inter's 11-match unbeaten home run in all competitions makes them clear favourites, though Brugge's forwards should make the hosts work for it.
Inter Milan vs Club Brugge Form
Inter's European form is grim, with the Madrid defeat making it three straight Champions League losses and exposing a leaky defence despite their dominance of the ball. Serie A has been a different story, with Parma swept aside 3-0 inside the opening half-hour. Marcus Thuram scored that day, while Lautaro Martínez's Champions League drought is the nagging worry.
Club Brugge have answered the Villa defeat with three straight wins in all competitions, the latest a thumping away victory at RAAL La Louvière in the Belgian Pro League. Hugo Vetlesen and Nicolò Tresoldi are both scoring, and Brugge have netted in 29 consecutive matches. The catch is a Champions League defence that keeps leaking goals.
Inter Milan vs Club Brugge Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Inter Milan: Curtis Jones (Injured/out), John Stones (Injured/out)
Club Brugge: Joel Ordóñez (Injured/out)
Inter Milan
Chivu is missing Curtis Jones and John Stones for this one, though he still has strong options at the back. The subplot is Aleksandar Stanković, who faces his former club in the engine room after a season at Brugge, while Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram lead the line.
Club Brugge
Leko is without Joel Ordóñez but otherwise close to full strength. Yann Sommer returns to San Siro after three seasons at Inter, and Hans Vanaken stays central to Brugge's build-up from the base of midfield, with Vetlesen tucked in behind Tresoldi.

Inter Milan vs Club Brugge Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our prediction is a 3-1 home win. Inter are 1/4 (10Bet) for good reason, with far more quality in the final third, but Brugge's forwards carry enough threat to punish a defence that was carved open in Madrid.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game at San Siro. The projections put this fixture at around 4.69 total goals, which makes the 3.5 line look light. Inter should score freely at home, and Brugge's attack simply keeps finding the net, so this is the pick of the bunch.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides are expected to find the net. Both teams scoring is rated at a 73.55% probability, which fits an open, messy game. Vetlesen and Tresoldi are in form, and Inter's back three handed Real Madrid opportunity after opportunity.
Inter Milan vs Club Brugge Bet Builder
Our bet builder tips combine an Inter win, Lautaro Martínez to score anytime, both teams to score and Hugo Vetlesen to be shown a card.
Inter to win is the anchor. They have the greater individual quality, they have steadied since Madrid, and the projections give them a 72% win probability at San Siro.
Lautaro Martínez's Champions League drought looks due to end. Brugge have been shipping goals in Europe, and an Inter strike force fed by Barella and Çalhanoğlu should give him plenty of looks.
Both teams to score suits the shape of this one. Brugge bring a long scoring run to Milan, while Inter's defensive control has been nowhere near the level of their possession.
Vetlesen will operate in the congested central areas Inter want to own, and tactical fouls to stop their midfield breaking could easily land him in the book.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 9/1 and is as short as 33/5 elsewhere.

Inter Milan vs Club Brugge Talking Points
There is no shortage of subplots. Sommer's return to San Siro and Stanković lining up against the club he has just left add a personal edge, while Chivu has warned that "in the Champions League, there are no easy matches." He is right to be wary given how his defence was exposed in Madrid, but the betting odds tell the real story, with the visitors out at 12/1 (AK Bets). Brugge will score, but Inter should have too much.
