Betting Tips
Inter Milan faces Atletico Madrid in one of this year’s most intriguing last-16 matches, with the opening leg of their Champions League duel taking place at San Siro on Tuesday. Inter, last season’s runners-up, are flying high at the top of Serie A, while Atletico raced through the group stage to reach the knockout rounds once more.
Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid
Inter Milan may be in the best frame of mind heading into this game. They trounced Salernitana 4-0 in Serie A last Friday, their seventh straight win across all competitions. They have only lost one of their last 26 matches in all competitions, making them the side to beat. The Nerazzurri qualified for this stage by finishing second in Group D, behind Real Sociedad. Both clubs finished with three victories and three draws, leaving just a goal difference between them. They won two and drew one of their three home league matches.
Their home record heading into this game is even more spectacular, as Inter have won nine of their last 11 home games in all competitions, losing only once.
Atletico Madrid won 5-0 over Las Palmas in La Liga last weekend. That victory brought an end to a mini-three-game losing streak in all competitions, during which they had drawn once and lost twice. That sequence was preceded by five consecutive wins in all competitions, so Atletico would be anxious to return to those glory days.
The beginning point could be to look back at their group stage performance, as Atletico finished first in Group E this season. They won four and drew two games in that period, edging off their nearest rival, Lazio, by four points. However, they did not fully enjoy their travels when both of their draws arrived on the road.
Verdict
Inter Milan, the Serie A leaders, return to European play after a spectacular run of form. The Nerazzurri have won eight straight matches to grab a commanding domestic lead, and they are now hoping for European success alongside a possible Scudetto.
Inter’s journey to the final last season caught many off guard. However, they appear to be genuine contenders this season, as they enter Tuesday’s last-16 match having won six of their previous eight home games in this league.
The Nerazzurri’s aspirations have been buoyed by Atletico Madrid’s inconsistent results in 2024. While the Spaniards defeated Las Palmas 5-0 over the weekend, they have lost two of their last three games. In addition, the Spaniards have only won five of their 18 road games against Italian teams in European competition, losing nine.
The lone defeat in their last 13 European games was last season’s final, so they’re in good shape going into this one. Atletico is battling with poor form from both Antoine Griezmann and Alvaro Morata, who combined for 10 goals in the group stage. Given this, support the hosts to win the first leg.
