Inter have got their own Champions League fate in their hands when they take on Viktoria Plzen on Matchday 5. If they can beat the Czech side, they will be into the Round of 16 for the second consecutive season having been absent for a decade before that.
The Nerazzurri took four points from the two recent games against Barcelona which means they can condemn the Spanish side to Europa League football by just getting three points on Wednesday at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza against a Viktoria Plzen side who are yet to get a point.

Inter v Viktoria Plzen: Predicted line-ups
This finally looks set to be the game where Romelu Lukaku actually does return from injury for Inter. The Belgian has been threatening it for weeks but given the importance of the game, this is what the medical team have been working towards.
The game will likely come too soon for Marcelo Brozovic so Simone Inzaghi may use Hakan Calhanoglu in that role.
Pavel Bucha will be suspended for Viktoria Plzen, whilst Petr Pejsa is out with a long-term injury.
Inter predicted XI v Viktoria Plzen (3-5-2): Onana; Bastoni, De Vrij, Skriniar; Dimarco, Mkhitaryan, Calhanoglu, Barella, Dumfries; Lukaku, Lautaro.
Viktoria Plzen predicted XI v Inter (3-4-1-2): Stanek; Jemelka, Hejda, Pernica; Sykora, Kalvach, Bucha, Havel; Vlkanova; Chory, Mosquera.
