Inter take on the visitors Southampton in the round 3 match of Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium.
Inter returned to eurocups after a one-year absence but their results at the start of the group stage suggest it would be better if Inter skipped one more season as well. The hosting side has zero points gained after two matches played as they’ve recorded defeats to Hapoel Beer Sheva and Sparta Prague, 0-2 and 1-3 respectively. De Boer’s men need to battle for three points in upcoming match as any other result leave the team almost no chances to get involved into a race for top two positions and playoffs. Moreover, Inter are unable to win in Serie A for four matches with aggregate score 3-7, taking two draws and losing twice.

Southampton, in turn, are in excellent form before their visit to Italy. Claude Puel’s men are undefeated since September 10th, taking five wins and two draws with only one goal conceded in these matches with 12 scored at opponents’ goal. The Saints gained four points in two matches and it looks like they taking this competition seriously and will battle for qualifying to playoffs.
Inter and Southampton play their first ever head-to-head. English side show excellent performance at own half and they have no reasons to force things in Milan. Inter, in turn, don’t look like the side who can be competitive in eurocups of domestic league so they should put much pressure on the opponents.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
