Lukaku has been unplayable of late and has been hugely impressive since moving to Serie A - proving his doubters wrong by scoring 23 goals this season and taking a real fancy to the Europa League. His goal against Leverkusen last time out saw him find the net for the ninth game in a row in this competition - stretching back to his Everton days!

He'll be a popular anytime choice of course, and you can't really put anyone off given the run he's on in this competition - although Inter do have a number of other dangerous options for goals.

Inter have five clean sheets in six, but Shakhtar have shown enough to think that there'll be goals here, and the bookies agree (). Seven of Shakhtar's eight European ties this season have contained three goals or more, with their last seven Europa League games all eclipsing that mark.

Both sides have a habit of scoring twice or more, Inter have done it in 13 of their last 15 games and Shakhtar in 12 of 14, so it's a pretty comfortable prediction to say they'll both find the net here.

Inter certainly have weaknesses, and Shakhtar have more than enough quality to expose those, but in what should be an entertaining contest the Italians will just have enough firepower to get them through.

Prediction: Inter 3-1 Shakhtar
