In this Champions League match, Inter host Shakhtar Donetsk. Both teams won their most recent match in this competition, but they need different things from this game. Inter must take all three points at home to keep moving forward in the big cup, while Shakhtar Donetsk arrive with confidence from their own league form. Inter have just won 3-1 in the league and have lost only one of their last five games in the cup. Their attack can still be trusted, but there are some gaps visible in defence. Shakhtar Donetsk, meanwhile, are on a winning run, scoring in every game and conceding very few in their own league, but here they must travel to a team that clearly dominates possession. The pattern of the game is likely to be Inter controlling the ball and pushing high, while Shakhtar Donetsk sit back and wait to counter. If Inter start quickly and do not let the other side settle into their defensive shape for long, this game tends to end with a clear margin.
