Shakhtar Donetsk are in need of full points in Kyiv
Shakhtar are playing in the Champions League after finishing second last season’s Ukrainian League. Consequently, the Miners took part in the qualification rounds where they eliminated Genk and Monaco. In fact, this is Shakntar’s gift consecutive season in the UCL group stage.
Coach Roberto De Zerbi’s team didn’t have an encouraging start this season though. A 2-0 away defeat to Sheriff Tiraspol who are considered to be the weakest team in the group. Hence Shakhtar are in a difficult position as they host Inter. However, De Zerbi’s team held Inter to two goalless draws last season. But they might need to go for a little bit more this time around.

Inter Milan will be playing for the three points
Inter’s fine start to Serie A was soured by their Champions League loss to Real Madrid on matchday one. Incredibly, Inter had 18 shots on goal against Real but still couldn’t score. That was the most goal attempt of any team without getting on the scoresheet in the first round.
However, after that Game Inter scored 11 goals in three matches in Serie A. If the Nerazzurri maintain that scoring form in this match, surely they will return with full marks. Incidentally, Simone Inzaghi’s team never lost to Shakhtar in six meetings. Nonetheless, they have to learn from the last two goalless draws of last season.
Inter Key points
- Inter are unbeaten in their three away games this season
- Inzaghi’s team scored in all of their away games this season
- 2.5 goals per match is what Inter scored in their last three away matches
