Inter Milan will be looking to complete a double against this season’s surprise package Sheriff Tiraspol when they face off in a crucial Champions League matchday four fixture at the Bolshaya Sportivnaya Arena in Moldova, on Wednesday with kickoff at 23:00.
Sheriff Tiraspol have made an impressive start to their first ever Champions League campaign. They opened with an impressive 2-0 victory against Shakhtar Donetsk, then followed that up with the famous 2-1 win over Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu before falling to a 3-1 defeat to Inter Milan last time out.
Sheriff now sit in the second spot in Group D level on six points with first-placed Real Madrid who have a superior goal difference, while sit two points above their Wednesday’s opponents who are in the third spot. Therefore, three points for Tiraspol in this fixture will see them increase their chances of progressing to the knockout stages.
Meanwhile, Inter Milan have made a slow start to their continental campaign having won just one of their opening three matches. They began their campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid at home before playing out a goalless stalemate against Shakhtar Donetsk in their second match. However, Inter managed to pick up their first Champions League win in the 3-1 victory over Tiraspol, becoming the first team to inflict a defeat to the tournament debutants.
Inter occupy the third spot on four points in the group standings and having only won two of their last 10 games in the Champions League, the Nerazzurri will be hoping to improve on the record with three matches remaining to go in the group stage as they aim to close the two-point gap to both Sheriff and Madrid.
