Barcelona travel to Milan on Tuesday evening to face Inter on matchday three of the Champions League with both sides boasting a similar record in this season's competition.
Both the Blaugrana and the Nerazzuri have beaten Viktoria Plzen and lost to Bayern Munich, meaning the two fixtures that Barca and Inter will contest over the next week should go a long way to deciding who qualifies from Group C.

Inter vs Barcelona preview
There is much riding on this game in terms of who qualifies for the knockout stages and both sides will be desperate to avoid defeat.
Barcelona are missing three of their first choice back four in Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Hector Bellerin, although their squad is deep enough to be able to assimilate those absentees.
Inter for their part remain without Romelu Lukaku while Marcelo Brozovic is missing in midfield and his absence in likely to be keenly felt.
Another defeat for the Italians would see the pressure increase on manager Simone Inzaghi and defensively his team have looked weak this term, keeping just two clean sheets in their last eight games.
Barcelona meanwhile have been rock solid letting in just one goal in seven La Liga games and whenever their defensive line has been breached, Marc Ter Stegen has produced excellent saves with the German stopper back to his very best.
Inter vs Barcelona tips and predictions
Backing Barcelona to win at 3/4 (1.75) should appeal, with the side playing well and full of confidence despite the important absentees.
There could also be interest in investing in a clean sheet for Barca at 2/1 (3.00), and with Brozovic missing Inter's creative capacity could be hampered.
