Internazionale enters its next fixture with a perfect record after winning all three of its opening Serie A matches this season. Manager Cristian Chivu has retained eight starters from the previous year, with Francesco Pio Esposito, Josep Martínez, and Andy Diouf joining the core unit. The team shows an increased offensive output, averaging 2.50 non-penalty goals across its recent ten appearances while maintaining a 2.01 npxG. Federico Dimarco has served as a primary creative force, particularly from the left flank, though he will miss the upcoming match against Real Madrid.
