Shakhtar Can Breach Inter Defence at San Siro
Shakhtar Donetsk arrive with five straight wins and an average of 2.8 goals scored per game this season. Inter have kept no clean sheets in their two league matches and concede 3.0 goals a game overall. The visitors have also scored in both their league fixtures, including on the road where they average 1.0 goal. Inter’s defensive absences include Pavard and Stones, two players who normally help shore up the back line. In the last five meetings between the sides, three ended as draws, showing Shakhtar can find the net even when they do not win. The game may hinge on whether Inter’s high line leaves space for Shakhtar’s forward runs in transition.
