Shakhtar Donetsk

Fans of the Donetsk club still have fresh memories of the recent devastating defeat of Shakhtar in European competitions just from Inter. In mid-August the rivals met in the semifinal match of the Europa League. At the neutral Merkur Spiel Arena the Italians left no chance for the Pitmen, defeating them 5:0. Let's try to figure out what are chances of hosts for success in the upcoming duel.

So far, Shakhtar's play gives few reasons for optimism. Of course, in the first round of the group stage, Luis Castro's charges surprised the football audience and at the same time brought a good profit to bookmakers by winning over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu with a score of 3:2. However, it was not only the Pitmen's merit here, but also the underestimation of the opponent by the Spaniards. Still, the Ukrainians were playing with a far from optimal composition.

Shakhtar have staffing problems before the upcoming meeting. In connection with the pandemic, Sergei Krivtsov, Viktor Kovalenko, Vladislav Vakula, Evgeny Konoplyanka, Junior Moraes and Fernando Pedro are training on an individual program. We are glad that Alan Patrick, Nikolay Matvienko, Sergey Bolbat and Taras Stepanenko have returned to the general group. It is not yet clear which of these players will be able to take part in the match. There will definitely not be Ismaily who has an injury.

The Pitmen's instability is also evidenced by the game in the national league, where, after defeating Real Madrid, they scored a draw with Vorskla (1:1). So far, Shakhtar have not lost in the Ukrainian Premier League, but they managed to win only three out of seven matches.

Inter

The Milan club also failed to win the European Cup this summer. After a convincing victory over Shakhtar, the Nerazzurri fought against Sevilla in the Europa League final and lost in a tough match 2:3.

Last season, Inter started their Champions League performance in the group with Barcelona and Borussia Dortmud, leaving both teams behind. Although, in general, they had chances to get to the playoffs before the final round, in which the Italians lost 1:2 to Barcelona. Also, the Milanese took the third position in the group stage of the Champions League a season earlier, whereas before that they had been absent from the prestigious European tournament for six years.

At the current tournament Antonio Conte's wards started in a draw with Borussia Monchengladbach (2:2). Despite the fact that the Milanese were the first to open the score, in the end they managed to save at least one point shortly before the final whistle.

In the national championship "Inter" takes the third place after five rounds with ten points. The “blue-blacks” lost only one match to “Milan” (1:2) and after a draw with “Borussia” they defeated “Genoa” (2:0).

Alexis Sanchez and Matias Vecino will definitely not play for the Milanese due to injuries. Ionuts Radu, Milan Shkriniar, Roberto Gagliardini, Stefano Sensi, Ashraf Hakimi have problems with the coronavirus.
