Inter vs Club Brugge kicks off on 13 Oct 2026 at 15:00 EST and 19:00 GMT.
Serie A leaders Inter have UCL pedigree
Inter have made an almost perfect start to the new Serie A season, winning five of six matches. Strangely, however, they're on a three-match UCL losing streak stretching back to last season. The Nerazzurri were runners-up in this competition in 2023 and 2025. Since defeat on MD1 of this season's UCL at Real Madrid, they've rattled in 10 goals in three Serie A outings, and have won all four such matches this season against Parma, Udinese, Napoli and Monza.
