Inter will be trying to gain their first victory in Group H after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Rubin Kazan two weeks ago, which extended their winless streak at home.
They were able to come into winning form over this past weekend when they defeated Fiorentina 2-1 in Series A and look to continue that this upcoming weekend against rivals AC Milan, but they must first get through the match today.
"Obviously the trip to Baku might be tiring but it's also important. We want to win there and only then start preparing for AC Milan,'' Zanetti told Sky Sports during an interview.
"Fiorentina was our first win on home turf and we needed it- to get a bit of consistency going and to provide a response, the right response, against a great team. We spoke to the coach about the fact that with the qualities we have in this squad, three at the back might be a solution. And so it has proved over the last two games, when we've done well,'' the full-back added.
Neftchi, who was able to secure a goalless draw with Partizan Belgrade in their Europa League opener, should be confident of their chances; Inter boss Andrea Stramaccioni has decided to rest several starters including Zanetti, Diego Milito and Antonio Cassano.
Kick-ff for the match is at 12:00 p.m. EDT and can be watched online here.
