It has been a stressful few months for Inter's likable coach Claudio Ranieri
Inter's first win in ten away to Chievo on Friday prompted tears of joy from Claudio Ranieri. Will there be even wilder celebrations against Marseille?
Marseille have beaten Inter by the same scoreline of 1-0 in each of their three meetings (the previous two games in the 2003-04 UEFA Cup quarter-final).
Marseille are the only team with a 100% record against Inter in European competition (excluding qualifiers).
Marseille have never scored more than once in their 15 encounters against Italian opposition in Europe (excluding Intertoto Cup).
Inter have failed to win their last three Champions League games (one draw, two defeats).
The Nerazzurri have won just one of their last five Champions League home games, losing four times.
Marseille are the only team to have won a Champions League game this season after going two goals behind (following their crucial 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund).
Inter have won four and lost seven of their last 12 Champions League matches.
Marseille have kept nine clean sheets in their last 13 Champions League games.
Four out of OM's last five Champions League goals have come from dead-ball situations.
Marseille have won four of their last six Champions League games on the road (one draw, one defeat).
Inter's last four Champions League goals have been scored by four different Argentine players (Samuel, Milito, Álvarez and Cambiasso).
Andre Ayew has scored 50% of Marseille's Champions League goals this season (four out of eight).
Marseille have recorded the worst shooting accuracy amongst teams who have qualified for the last 16, hitting the target with just 37% of their attempts.
