Internazionale host Shakhtar Donetsk seeking first points

The gap in the table

Internazionale are thirty-first with zero points from two games, seventeen places and four points behind Shakhtar. A win would lift the home side to three points from three matches, while defeat would leave them pointless after three outings. Shakhtar would move to seven points with victory or five with a draw, while defeat would keep them on four.

Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool lead the competition with nine points from three games. Internazionale have won three of their last five recent matches, drawn one and lost one. Shakhtar have won two, drawn one and lost two across the same span.

History between the sides

The five meetings on record produced seven goals in total. Internazionale won two, both without reply, and the other three finished goalless. The most recent encounter ended 2–0 in Internazionale's favour. The previous four meetings produced one 5–0 win for Internazionale and three goalless draws. The market implies a 77.3 per cent chance of an Internazionale win, 13.6 per cent for the draw and 9.1 per cent for a Shakhtar victory.
