Atletico Madrid vs Inter preview

A battle of attrition awaits at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium as Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan face-off for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The Italian heavyweights hold a slender 1-0 advantage heading into Wednesday’s second leg courtesy of a late winner from substitute Marko Arnautovic back at the San Siro.

Inter are favourites to win on the night and favourites to progress overall given their incredible form.

Simone Inzaghi’s side look set to win the Serie A title having moved 16 points clear of second-placed AC Milan with ten matches remaining.

They won their last 13-consecutive matches in all competitions, keeping an outrageous NINE clean sheets during that run.

The same cannot be said for Atletico Madrid, who are experiencing a difficult patch.

Diego Simeone’s side are in a battle for fourth place in La Liga, and arrive having lost 2-0 to lowly Cadiz over the weekend – mustering an xG of just 0.24.

And that’s a huge worry given Inter have progressed from seven of their eight previous Champions League knockout stage ties in which they’ve won the first leg.

Atletico Madrid vs Inter betting tips

Away win

Inter Milan are just really tough to beat.

It sounds obvious but the Italian heavyweights have barely lost a match in any competition during the 2023-24 campaign, and their defensive record is rock solid.

They are unbeaten in their seven Champions League matches this year and it looks unlikely that record will be tarnished by an out-of-form Atletico.

Inter have won two of their three encounters 1-0 while Atletico have blanked in four of their last seven in all competitions, and we think another low-scoring victory for the visitors is in the offing.

In form

Lautaro Martinez is BANG in form.

The Argentine international, 26, has scored 26 goals in 35 appearances this season with two of those arriving in away matches in the Champions League.

Inter also had the luxury of resting their talisman for the 1-0 win over Bologna over the weekend, so he should be fresh, fit and firing against Atletico on Wednesday.

Red warning

In a close game with the stakes this high, it’s difficult to see the match ending with all 22 players on the pitch.

The reverse fixture produced a whopping five cautions in the final eight minutes of normal time as things got chaotic. That should count for double in the second leg.

Atletico look the more likely recipients as frustration sets in.
