Inter Milan will entertain Viktoria Plzen at the San Siro on matchday five of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (October 26).
The hosts will seal their berth in the knockouts with a win, with leaders Bayern Munich having already booked their place in the Round of 16. Plzen have lost all four games this season and are last in their group.
Inter played out a 3-3 draw against Barcelona on matchday four after leading twice, which snapped their two-game winning streak. They have recorded back-to-back wins in Serie A since then, including a 4-3 victory over Fiorentina on Sunday.
Plzen, meanwhile, suffered a 4-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in their last Champions League game. Despite their continental travails, they remain atop the Czech First League with a 3-1 win over Banik on Saturday.
