After winning their first two matches, Inter Milan have a chance to all but secure the first place in Group F with yet another triumph.

Meanwhile, Saint Etienne have taken mere two points so far and they need to try and avoid defeat at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as well.

Inter had big ambitions for the current season, but while the team started the campaign well, the good run of results proved short-lived.

The Nerazzurri suffered back to back league defeats to Cagliari and Fiorentina to drop to mid table, before playing out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Napoli at home.

Inter twice came from a goal behind to earn one point, scoring the final goal in injury time, and they can take some heart from that performance.

The good news is that the Nerazzurri were pretty impressive in Europe, winning all four matches without conceding, and they can now be backed at 1.80 (4/5) to defeat Saint Etienne.

Yuto Nagatomo is the latest casualty and he has joined the likes of Pablo Osvaldo, Danilo D’Ambrosio, Hugo Campagnaro and Jonathan in the infirmary.

Walter Mazzarri is again expected to ring some changes, with Zdravko Kuzmanovic, Fredy Guarin, Yann M’Vila and Marco Andreolli set to start.

Probable starting line-up (3-5-1-1): Handanovic – Andreolli, Ranocchia, Juan – Obi, Kuzmanovic, M’Vila, Hernanes, Dodo – Guarin – Palacio.

Saint Etienne have managed to establish themselves as a genuine top 5 side in French Ligue 1 under Christophe Galtier and they are still going strong.

Les Verts currently sit mere one point behind second-placed Paris Saint-Germain, having returned to winning ways at the weekend.

A four-match winless run in all competitions came to an end as Saint Etienne defeated Lorient on the road, thus improving the atmosphere ahead of the trip to Italy.

Les Verts haven’t exactly impressed in Europe, having failed to beat both Qarabag and Dnipro, and they are 3.80 (14/5) to record another draw.

The visitors have some important missings given that Florentin Pogba, Francois Clerc and Mevlut Erdinc are out injured.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Ruffier – Catherine, Sall, Perrin, Tabanou – Clement, Lemoine – Monnet-Paquet, Cohade, Gradel – van Wolfswinkel.
