Inter Milan vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Europa League Prediction
Internazionale faces Shakhtar Donetsk in Dusseldorf in one of the most anticipated clashes as the Europa League semi finals take center stage. After finishing their domestic season without silverware, Inter saw off Bayer Leverkusen to keep hopes of bagging a trophy this campaign. Meanwhile, Shakhtar had a good showing against Basel, walking off 4-1 winners to book a place in the semis. As for Inter, they will hope to extend the good run that has seen them win each of their last five matches and go unbeaten in their last 10 games. They have scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches and have five clean sheets in their last six matches. Kai Havertz’s goal for Leverkusen in the last match was the first Inter have conceded in the last six matches but in each of the last five matches they have led at half time and went on to win the matches. In three of the last five matches the Italian side has won at half time and full time. They have also scored twice in each of their Europa League matches this season and will be outright favorites here.
Shakhtar will not offer easy opposition to Inter though; they are a formidable force in their own respect. Just like Inter, they dropped from the Champions League, having played in a tough group that had Atalanta and Manchester City. Shakhtar convincingly saw off Basel 4-1 in their quarter final clash to make it the fifth straight Europa League game they have scored two or more goals. Each of their matches in the Europa League this season has produced over 2.5 goals; they are unbeaten in the five matches, winning four but have only one clean sheet.

Our Inter Milan vs Shakhtar Donetsk Prediction
This match brings together two very attacking sides and going by their attacking returns in recent matches, we expect both sides to score. Inter have kept clean sheets in most of their recent matches but we can’t bet on that in this game, while on the flipside, Shakhtar have not kept a lot of clean sheets and we don’t think they will have enough in their defence to stop Inter. The Italian side has developed a knack for early leads; in four of their last seven matches, they have scored inside the opening 15 minutes, and with two goals or more in six of their last seven matches, we are backing them for a win here. Shakhtar have led at half time in just two of their last five Europa League matches and we bet they will be dominated here. In view of this, a bet on Inter leading at half time and full time could pass.
