Inter Milan hosts Shakhtar Donetsk in round 6 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 9th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
A complete shame awaits the Italian grandee if it fails to defeat the Miners in its native arena. Modern Inter has large tournament ambitions, both in the local championship and in European Cups. There are doubts that Antonio Conte will retain his coaching post in the event of an unsuccessful result in the upcoming match. The team has obvious problems with building attacks, and now all players depend on the genius Lukaku. Nevertheless, the team has enough performers who can decide the outcome of the meeting on their own. In addition to Lukaku, Inter's leaders include such players as De Vrij, Handanovic, Bastoni, Brozovic, Martinez, and Barella.

Despite the terrible results in the two-legged confrontation with Borussia Monchengladbach (4:0 and 0:6), Shakhtar claims to reach the playoffs thanks to victories over Real Madrid (2:0 and 2:3). Such results of the men of Luis Castro are shocking because the team is extremely unstable. The main drawback of the Miners is their inability to play under high-quality pressure. Football players often make mistakes and create attempts for the opponents. Beyond that, Shakhtar has obvious problems with the pivot zone, where only Stepanenko can efficiently act in destruction. Antonio, Maicon, Kovalenko, Alan Patrick - all these players are more focused on creation. AS for the attack, the Ukrainian club won’t be able to count on Moraes by the end of 2020, and the traumatic Dentinho remains the only alternative to the scorer. You can recall Fernando, but this young player does not shine with indicators in the attack.
It will be difficult for the visitors to count on a positive result with the opponent that is so stable in defense. Inter understands that it is necessary to apply high pressure and force the opponents’ defensive line to make mistakes. For Shakhtar, the counter-attacking model of the game is ideal, but the defense of the Blue-Blacks is much more reliable than that of Real Madrid. We think the hosts will manage to win with a difference of at least one goal.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -1.0 handicap
