INTERNAZIONALE VS SHAKHTAR DONETSK PREDICTION

Only three points for Internazionale against Shakhtar Donetsk gives them a chance of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, although they may count themselves fortunate to even be in this position after picking up just two points from their opening four group games, before a crucial 2-3 win away at Borussia Monchengladbach on Matchday 5. Shakhtar have enjoyed a memorable group stage campaign that has already seen them complete a historic double over Real Madrid. This match however, provides a different challenge against a side in good form having won their last three games in all competitions. This should prove a close encounter, but with the hosts boasting the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez at their disposal, Antonio Conte may just have the superior attacking quality within his side, to help see Internazionale pick up a narrow victory.
