THE LOWDOWN
SALZBURG
Salzburg's Champions League campaign got off to an excellent start when they beat Benfica away from home but consecutive losses to Real Sociedad and Inter Milan have left them four points off the two leaders in Group D.
The Austrians competed well with Inter at the San Siro two weeks ago and only lost narrowly to last season's finalists, so they will certainly feel they can get something out of this return fixture on home turf.
INTER MILAN
Inter, 2-1 winners over Salzburg two weeks ago, are in a commanding position in Group D and look set to fight it out with Real Sociedad for top spot.
Simone Inzaghi's men have lost just once in 14 competitive games this season, and sit top of Serie A, so there is no shortage of confidence in the camp as they look to secure their round of 16 berth with two games to spare.
THE TEAM NEWS
SALZBURG
Gerhard Struber is extremely limited when it comes to his options as he has no less than eight players missing from his Champions League squad.
Maurits Kjaergaard, who started in the reverse fixture two weeks ago, is one of the latest to join the treatment room and his absence could be the only difference in the starting line-up from that encounter.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-1-2): Schlager; Dedić, Solet, Pavlović, Ulmer; Sučić, Gourna-Douath, Bidstrup; Gloukh; Šimić, Konaté
UNAVAILABLE: Fernando (Injured), Okoh (Injured), Omoregie (Injured), Koita (Injured), Terzić (Injured), Piątkowski (Injured), Kameri (Injured), Kjærgaard (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
INTER MILAN
Benjamin Pavard is ruled out of this fixture after an early withdrawal due to a knee injury over the weekend, while Denzel Dumfries is understood to be suffering from fatigue and could be given a bench role here.
Inzaghi must decide between Marcus Thuram and Alexis Sanchez up front, with the latter scoring against Salzburg a fortnight ago.
PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Acerbi, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Frattesi, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto; Martínez, Thuram
UNAVAILABLE: Cuadrado (Injured), Pavard (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Arnautović (Injured), Dumfries (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Salzburg still have an outside chance of advancing from the group so they will not make it easy for Inter here, who were given a stern test when these two sides met two weeks ago. However, last season's Champions League runners-up have been finding ways to win with regularity this season, and they have more than enough talent to get over the line here and book their own passage into the knockout stages. While it is unlikely to be a routine win, Inter should get the job done.
TIP: INTER MILAN TO WIN
