Inter captain Javier Zanetti is confident his side can do the business against Dynamo Kiev away from home.
The Nerazzurri travel to the Ukraine on Wednesday in desperate need of a win. The Serie A side have drawn their first three matches in the Champions League and anything less than a victory could see their hopes of making the next round fade.
"It will be a vital match, delicate and difficult, but we will confront it with personality," Zanetti told Inter Channel.
"We are aware of our strengths. We know we will not have a full strength squad and we hope that Sulley Muntari's injury is not serious."
Muntari picked up a problem during the 2-0 win over Livorno on Sunday, adding to the club's injury headaches. Wesley Sneijder and Thiago Motta are in doubt for the trip to Kiev.
