Preview: Inter vs Shakhtar

Inter are just one game away from featuring in their first European final since winning the Champions League in 2010. Although the Nerazzurri were unable to win the Scudetto, as they finished just one point behind Juventus, nor the Coppa Italia, they have done quite well so far in the Europa League after exiting the Champions League during the group stages. And should Antonio Conte be able to guide them to victory in the final, the former Juventus and Chelsea boss will have indeed pulled off a very impressive feat in his debut season on the Inter bench; it would also mark his first ever European title as a manager.

The Nerazzurri come into this match having fought to a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen, who, given the strength of their squad presented a very tough opponent. However, although Leverkusen star Kai Havertz attempted to halve his team's deficit by pulling a goal back, Inter were able to keep die Werkself at bay for the entire second half and guarantee themselves a place in the final four. Although that game marked the first time Inter have conceded a goal since drawing 2-2 with Roma on July 19th, it really won't matter much to Conte's side as Inter are presently on a ten match unbeaten streak across all competitions (with wins in five in those).

Belgian star Romelu Lukaku added another goal to his rapidly growing tally during the win over Leverkusen, and will be keen on matching the record set by Ronaldo, who netted 34 goals in Europe during his first season with the Nerazzurri. So far, he has 31, and with him in the kind of form he has been in all season one would certainly not bet against him scoring against Shakhtar, who are presently managed by Luis Castro, in this match.

As for their upcoming opponents, Shakhtar were presented with a much easier foe - Swiss side Basel - and ambled towards a comfortable 4-1 win without much fuss. The Eastern European outfit will be looking to and are spearheaded by Brazilian Júnior Moraes, who has scored over 20 goals across all comps so far this term. Having already won their domestic league, confidence is high in their camp as they come into this match on an 11 game unbeaten streak, with wins in nine of those.
