Shakhtar Donetsk vs Inter Match Preview

Shakhtar Donetsk welcomes Inter for the 2nd round of the 4th group of the UEFA Champions League group stage. This match will be held neutral Olympic Stadium, Kiev.

Shakhtar was surprised in the first round as they lost 2-0 in Moldova by the rookie in the UEFA Champions League group stage Sheriff Tiraspol. The Ukrainians were pretty mediocre and, conceding one goal in each half, they lost much deservedly.

In their domestic league, they easily prevailed 4-1 over Veres Virne last Saturday and remain 2nd-placed in the standings having 22 points, 3 less than champions Dynamo Kiev.

Inter lost in the final minutes of the match in their first Champions League game, Real scored in 89΄ and grabbed all three points from Inter Milan. A result that didn't deserve to the Italian side as they had chances to score but fell on an amazing Courtois.

In Serie A, the Nerazzurri are in 3rd place in the standings having 14 points after 6 games. In their most recent match, they played a 2-2 draw in Milan against Atalanta.

This is an important match between two teams that had a bad start in the group stage. The loser in this one will hardly be able to cover the lost ground, on the contrary, the winner will be able to hope. Both have rich talent offensively and score with ease, so my choice is Over 2.5 goals to be scored at 1.65 odds.
