Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni says they must respect Europa League opponents Neftci.

The Nerazzurri started Group H with a last-gasp 2-2 home draw against Rubin Kazan, so the pressure is on to get a result in Azerbaijan on Thursday.

"It is very important for us, because we were unable to win the first match. A victory tomorrow could see us go top," said the Coach.

"I tried to study Neftci carefully, a team that so far has shown great solidity and four very dangerous forwards, especially for a side like ours. In the game against Partizan they were always threatening."
