AC Milan will aim to build on their draw with Barcelona, when Massimiliano Allegri's side host Czech minnows FC Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League.
A 2-2 draw at Camp Nou on Matchday One for last season's Serie A winners has set them up nicely in Group H for a campaign in which they are at least expected to reach the knockout stages.
Pavel Vrba's Plzen were also held to a draw in their opening fixture after being forced to settle for a 1-1 share of the points with BATE Borisov.
Vrba will therefore know they cannot afford to treat their trip to the San Siro as merely a special occasion as they aim to avoid a defeat which could mean their Champions Leagueparticipation is as good as over shortly after it began.
"I've watched four of Milan's games, against Napoli and Udinese in particular, and I have garnered some ideas and inspiration," said Vrba.
Ibrahimovic hope
"Naturally, we don't underestimate anyone. This is an important moment in our season."
Milan will be without Gennaro Gattuso due to suspension, while Robinho (toe), Pato (thigh), Kevin-Prince Boateng (hip) and Philippe Mexes (knee) are all unavailable.
Allegri is hopeful Zlatan Ibrahimovic will overcome a thigh injury and Daniele Boneracould feature if he recovers from a bruised rib.
Plzen will be missing goalkeeper Roman Pavlik, who is still recovering after injuring his knee against Rosenborg.
Pavel Horvath, who is his club's most experienced player in Europe, will be making his fourth visit to Italy for a European tie and he has yet to avoid defeat.
