Inter Milan dropped down from the Champions League (CL), losing out on the basis of an inferior head-to-head record to Tottenham. The Nerazzurri’s recent form is a concern as well, with just one win in five competitive fixtures (W1, D1, L3). It gets worse on the road, especially in Europe, where they have just one win in ten away games (W1, D3, L6).
Those away games have averaged 3.0 match goals, with Inter conceding 1.9 goals per game. Furthermore, as a club, Inter have also sustained more historic defeats to Austrian sides than they would like, despite winning eight of their 14 fixtures against such opposition (W8, D1, L5). All five losses came on Austrian turf.
