Inter suffered a narrow 2-1 loss away to Real Madrid in their European opener, despite putting in a respectable performance.
The result extended their losing run in the competition to three matches, leaving the Italian side at risk of suffering four consecutive defeats.
However, their domestic performances have offered a welcome response, as they have maintained an unbeaten run.
Inter have scored 18 goals across their last six league matches without losing, recording five wins and a draw.
Their most recent outing produced a convincing 3-0 victory over Parma, continuing an outstanding start to the season.
The Nerazzurri have won all four of their home games across competitions this season, scoring at least three goals in each one.
On the other hand, Club Brugge also endured a frustrating start to their Champions League campaign, losing 3-2 to Aston Villa.
They have conceded at least three goals in each of their last three Champions League matches.
However, they can take positives from their league performance, as they defeated RAAL La Louviere 4-1 at the weekend.
That victory means they have now won four league games in a row and have only lost once in their last eight league matches this season.
They have also maintained a good away record, winning three of their four league away matches this season, with just one defeat.
They will hope that strong away form can carry over to Europe, although containing an Inter side that has been prolific on home soil represents a considerably tougher challenge.
