Inter vs Shakhtar Donetsk

Inter have been productive in front of goal, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. Their recent domestic form is strong, though they were defeated in their last home outing in this competition against Club Brugge KV. Shakhtar Donetsk enter this fixture in excellent form, having won all six of their recent matches in all competitions. They have maintained a flawless record during this period, including a victory in their last UEFA Champions League match against AEK Athens FC, and have been particularly resilient defensively by keeping four clean sheets in that run.

• Inter are without B. Pavard, C. Jones, J. Stones, and L. Martinez due to injury.
• Shakhtar Donetsk enter the match with several absences, including A. Ghram, D. Tvardovskyi, Eguinaldo, K. Fesyun, M. Shved, P. Obah, T. Puzankov, and V. Korniyenko.
• Shakhtar Donetsk currently sit 11th in the league table with four points, while Inter are 29th with no points from their opening two matches.
• Inter have shown an ability to score in both halves, having netted 16 goals in the second half across their recent matches.

Shakhtar Donetsk arrive with a perfect winning streak in their recent matches and a superior defensive record compared to their hosts. While Inter have been scoring freely at home, their current standing in the competition and recent defensive lapses suggest a challenging encounter. Given the form of both sides, the contest may lean toward the visitors, though the outcome remains to be seen on the pitch.

We hold no head-to-head records for these two sides in this competition.
