Inter vs Shakhtar

Inter will be determined to respond after suffering a shock 4-3 defeat to Club Brugge in Champions League round two. Cristian Chivu’s men restored confidence with a 3-1 Serie A victory over Bologna and will now look to turn their European campaign around. Lautaro Martinez remains sidelined through injury, meaning Pio Esposito is expected to retain his place in the starting XI. Inter have averaged 3.33 goals per home game, but their defensive lapses remain a concern.

Shakhtar Donetsk travel to Milano on a seven-game winning streak after beating AEK Athens 3-1 in their latest European outing. Arda Turan’s side have been particularly effective going forward, with Gleiker Mendoza pushing for a starting spot after scoring as a substitute against AEK. The Ukrainian visitors have won eight of their last ten matches and their confidence should make them dangerous opponents despite playing away from home.

Inter’s attacking quality should create chances, but Shakhtar’s form suggests they can respond. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals.
