Real Sociedad will take on Inter in their Group D opener in the Champions League at the Anoeta Stadium on Wednesday.
The hosts started their season with three back-to-back draws in La Liga. The month of September started with a big 5-3 win over Granada, with Takefusa Kubo grabbing a brace. Their most recent outing, however, was a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Inter Milan have not been beaten since their Champions League final defeat against Manchester City at the end of last season. They will be super confident of getting started with a win in this season's Champions League. They have won all their four Serie A games so far, and are heading into this fixture on the back of a 5-1 win over AC Milan.
