Both Inter and Club Brugge have zero points after the opening round, so Tuesday’s meeting at San Siro offers more than an early chance to get a win: it is an opportunity to avoid falling further behind in the Champions League league phase.
Inter lost away to Real Madrid in their opener. Club Brugge were beaten 3-2 by Aston Villa, leaving both sides with ground to make up after one match. Inter return to Europe after a win over Parma following the international break, but that domestic result has not changed the immediate task for Cristian Chivu’s side: take their first points in the competition.
Lautaro Martínez is expected to start alongside Marcus Thuram, giving Inter their projected 3-5-2 strike partnership for the match. Josep Martínez is listed in goal, with Yann Bisseck, Manuel Akanji and Alessandro Bastoni in the back three. Denzel Dumfries, Nicolò Barella, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Piotr Zieliński and Federico Dimarco are expected across midfield.
Club Brugge are projected to use a 4-2-3-1, with Hans Vanaken among the three players behind forward Tresoldi. These are expected line-ups, not confirmed teams.
The stakes are straightforward: a win would give either side its first points of the campaign and a better platform for the next round. For Inter, the home setting follows an opening defeat away to Real Madrid; Club Brugge arrive after a narrow 3-2 loss to Aston Villa. Neither side can turn one result into a decisive judgement on the league phase, but both need to start collecting points.
Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 on Tuesday, 13 October, at San Siro. The match will be shown exclusively on Sky Sport and NOW, with streaming available on Sky Go and NOW. Inter TV’s pre-match coverage starts at 19:30 and runs on the club’s official YouTube channel until 20:45, with post-match analysis and interviews to follow.
Inter’s next fixture after the European meeting is away to Bologna in Serie A on Saturday, 17 October, at 18:00 CEST. First, they need a result at home to turn the Parma win into momentum that counts in Europe.
