Expected as one of the favourites in the first place, Inter was completely missed during the first four days in this group. Held in check by Mönchengladbach (2-2) then by Shakhtar (0-0), it lost twice to Real Madrid (3-2 and 0-2) and was therefore relegated to the last place of this group, despite his victory last week against Mönchengladbach (2-3) which still allowed to maintain a hope of qualification. In Serie A, the Milanese are only 2nd in the standings with 5 units behind their neighbour AC Milan. This weekend, they were able to win a third victory in a row against Bologna (3-1) after those obtained against Torino (4-2) and Sassuolo (0-3).
For his part, Shakhtar manages, for the moment, to pull out of the game thanks to two exploits achieved during the 1st day against Real Madrid (2-3) despite a team very weakened by the coronavirus, and last week, still facing the Merengue. Otherwise, he drew against Inter in the first leg (0-0) and completely took the water in his double confrontation against Mönchengladbach (0-6 and 4-0). However, the Ukrainians will be qualified at kick-off since they occupy the 2nd place in the standings. In the league, they are also in 2nd place in the standings with 3 units behind rival Dinamo Kyiv. Saturday, they made short work of the Minai club (5-1).
Staff for Inter vs Shakhtar Donetsk
On the Inter side, the long-term injured Vecino and the substitute midfielder Naingollan are still missing, but the important defender Kolarov should have recovered from the covid. Suspended last week, midfielder Arturo Vidal will be back. In attack, the terrible duo Lukaku (8 goals in the league) – Lautaro Martinez (5 goals) should be established for this meeting. Note the double of Moroccan Hakimi this weekend
Shakhtar will travel to Italy without the very important Konoplyanka, Khocholova, Kornienko and Ismaily (long-term injured) who are all out of form. By the way, the replacement Malyshev and the little-used Kryvstov are also on the flank. After starting on the bench against Real, Brazilian Dentinho still opened the scoring before Israel’s Solomon made it worse a few minutes later. Less efficient this season, the Junior attacker Moraes nevertheless retains his place as the starting point.
The probable lineups for Inter Milan vs Shakhtar Donetsk:
Inter: Handanovic – Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni – Hakimi, Brozovic, Vidal, Young – Barella – Lukaku, Martinez.
