Inter will look to maintain their unbeaten run in the Champions League when they face RB Leipzig at home on Tuesday.

The Italian giants have won three matches in a row in the competition following victories against Crvena Zvezda, Young Boys and Arsenal, while they drew 0-0 with Manchester City on Matchday One.

They face a RB Leipzig side who have been disappointing so far. The Bundesliga side are coming off a humbling 3-1 defeat against Celtic on Matchday Four.

Inter Team News

Inter have concerns over Lautaro Martinez as he has been suffering from a virus that forced him to miss the 5-0 win against Hellas Verona at the weekend. As the Nerazzurri are in a good spot in the standings, he might not be risked.

Hakan Calhanoglu also missed the weekend game due to a thigh injury sustained on International duty, so he might be given another rest from action.

Francesco Acerbi is a doubt after coming off injured against Verona.

Inter vs RB Leipzig Expected Lineups

With Martinez out with his virus, Joaquin Correa was given a rare start against Verona and performed superbly, earning himself a goal and two assists, so he should be the preferred partner for Marcus Thuram ahead of Marco Arnautovic and Mehdi Taremi.

Should Acerbi be ruled out, Stefan de Vrij will come into the back three.

Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, De Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Correa

In the absence of Simons, Christoph Baumgartner has deputised well and he'll continue in the front three alongside Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda.

RB Leipzig (3-4-3): Gulacsi; Klostermann, Orban, Lukeba; Henrichs, Haidara, Seiwald, Nusa; Baumgartner, Openda, Sesko
