Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk meet in Düsseldorf at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in the UEFA Europa League semi-final clash scheduled for Monday 17 August.
Antonio Conte's side established a 2-1 win vs Bayer Leverkusen in a quarter-final game with Romelu Lukaku earning man of the match honors. The strong Belgian demonstrated his power by holding off the Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba before firing by goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky and help his teammates getting involved in many attacking situations. Inter will try to book their first European final since winning the UEFA Champions League and treble in all competitions in the 2009-10 season. After losing touch with Juventus in the Seria A title battle they are very keen to lift a European trophy. Inter now looks like a team that has found the consistency after a ten-game unbeaten run in all competitions. Their defense has conceded just 2 goals in 4 UEL games this season.
On the other side, Romelu Lukaku has scored 31 goals in all competitions, and with Lautaro Martinez along with him in the attacking line, Inter is capable to score several goals on any given night. Their tough schedule could be a problem because they are preparing for their 17th game in two months. After some bad results after the restart of the season in Italy had to impressive 2-0 victories rivals such as Napoli and Atalanta. That helped them to be in the second place and finish with a point less than league champions Juventus. They were better than La Liga side Getafe 2-0 in the last-16 round, before a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen in the quarter-final. Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 formation will be on test with flair Brasilians from Shakhtar but they should be better in the midfield and control the ball. Alexis Sanchez and Matías Vecino have been sidelined injuries.
Shakhtar Donetsk eased their path to the final with a comfortable 4-1 victory over Basel and secured a place in their third Europa League semi-final. After an impressive 3-0 win victory over Wolfsburg, they were 4-0 up before Ricky van Wolfswinkel grabbed a late consolation for the Swiss team. They got a lead through Junior Moraes within less than two minutes, and that helped them to play a counterattacking style of football that suits them most. They are a very technically gifted team, with quick Brazilians that could create a goal in two or three touches with a ball. Inter is the favorite on the paper but the team from Donetsk is on an unbeaten run of 11 games in all competitions.
Their top-scorer Junior Moraes has 26 goals in this season, with three of them coming in the last two UEL games. Coach Luis Castro can't count on long term injured Ismaily and Malyshev but other than these players he will have an almost fully fit squad to choose from with some concerns about minor injuries. Davit Khocholava served his one-game suspension so he will be brought in contention for the next game.

This game could be a high goal-scoring affair with both teams capable to do damage in the first 20 minutes and last ten. Lukaku and Moraes are players to watch in this one. Both teams to score and over 3,5 goals should be valuable bets for this match.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
