Shakhtar Donetsk vs Inter Milan
UEFA Champions League 2024/21
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2024.
Starts 17:55 UK / 18:55 CET
Location: OSC Metalist (Kharkiv).

Inter Milan travel to Shakhtar Donetsk for matchday two of the 2024/21 UEFA Champions League season and are looking for their first win of the season.

The Nerazzurri had a shaky start to the season and were exposed in the first group stage match in their own backyard by Mönchengladbach, only to be saved by a Romelu Lukaku goal. The Belgian scored both goals in the 2-2 draw and is the most consistent player in Antonio Conte's team so far.

Winless in three after the draw, Inter won 2-0 in Genoa at the weekend and are keen to bring the momentum to Ukraine.

Shakhtar Donetsk, on the other hand, achieved a historic victory at Real Madrid despite the fact that most of their key players were lost to injury and illness.

While the result is excellent and credit goes to the young players who could have scored more goals in the first half, the match will be remembered for the complacency of Zinedine Zidane, who entered the game without key players such as Karim. Benzema. and Vinicius Junior and playing Ferland Mendy on the right side.

But can Shakhtar do the same this week? Brokers don't think so and rate a house win at as low as 4,50 odd and a draw at around 4,00. Inter are favorites at 1,75 odds and we will see the chances of winning away from home diminish in the coming days.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Inter Milan head-to-head

The teams spent h2h in last season's Europa League semi-final and Inter managed an easy 5-0 victory.

Inter Milan are undefeated in the three head-to-head meetings they won and drew against Shakhtar in the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League qualifying round.

In total, Shakhtar have faced Italian teams 25 times and have a moderate record of 7 wins, 2 draws and 16 defeats. And they have a poor scoring record of 0,8 goals per game.

Inter Milan did not lose against Ukrainian clubs; 6 wins and 3 draws, of which 3 wins and 1 draw came during an away trip.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Inter Milan Prediction

Shakhtar Donetsk impressed in their first group match against Real Madrid and deserved to win but face a team led by a coach who rarely makes tactical mistakes. As simple as it is, we can support the away win with an odds price of 1,75.

While Inter's form this season seems inconsistent, the truth is that they have found some strong teams in Serie A such as AC Milan and Lazio. The clean sheet against Genoa is a huge boost to their confidence and they could reach Kharkiv on Tuesday. Also, Shakhtar have a very young team and we saw that flattering in the second half against Real Madrid.

Based on both teams' recent form, we can expect some goals in Kharkiv as Shakhtar have scored at least once in all but two games since football restarted in Europe in May. Nerazzurri, on the other hand, have only scored once in their away games in the year 2024. This is a good case for the btts and over 2,5 goals among the good tips for this league clash. Champions.

Another main bet in my opinion is based on the form of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian international has scored in all but one of his games this season, including two against Gladbach and one at the weekend. He has scored 7 in all competitions and that's good value to score anytime in Tuesday's game.
