Inter Milan have allowed a total of four goals during their current winning streak across all competitions, recording five clean sheets in the process.
Inter outscored their opponents 8-5 during group play, with Argentinian striker Lautaro Martinez and Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez each converting twice.

Why you should back Atletico Madrid
Los Colchoneros actually could have Alvaro Morata on the pitch Tuesday as the veteran striker is back training with the club. The 31-year-old missed the team's 5-0 triumph over Las Palmas in La Liga play on Saturday after suffering a knee injury against Sevilla the previous weekend. Morata leads Atletico Madrid with 13 goals in league action and is tied for first on the team with five goals in the Champions League.
French forward Antoine Griezmann also has converted five times in the UCL. The 32-year-old ranks second on Los Colchoneros in La Liga with 11 goals and is tied for fourth in the league with six assists. Brazilian winger Samuel Lino has converted twice for Atletico in the Champions League and is tied for third among all players in the competition with three assists. See which team to pick here.
