Inter vs. Shakhtar: Prediction and lineups for the Champions League match

Cristian Chivu’s team had a disappointing start to their European campaign, losing to Real Madrid (1-2) and Club Brugge (3-4). In the Italian championship, the Milanese have been prolific, with 19 points after seven rounds.

Before the match with Shakhtar, there were reports of a possible rotation of the squad due to personnel problems, including an injury to Lautaro Martinez.

Donetsk earned four points in the first two rounds of the Champions League, drawing with PSV (1-1) and defeating AEK (3-1). Arda Turan’s team also leads the UPL with 24 points after nine rounds.

Among the injured remain Eginaldo, Azarov and Gramm.

Shakhtar have not beaten Inter in their previous seven matches: the Italians have won three, while the other four matches ended in a draw.

Inter will try to dominate the field, but Shakhtar has the potential to score. A possible bet is “both teams to score.” The predicted result is a narrow win for the home team.

Approximate compositions

Inter: Providel, Bissek, Akanji, Augusto, Diouf, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Spence, Thuram, Bonny.
