Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan at UEFA Champions League

Where: Wanda Metropolitan Stadium, Madrid, Spain
When: Thursday, March 14, 04:00 AM

Inter has a minimal lead from the opening clash at Meazza and comes to Spain to face a huge challenge. Atletico has nothing to worry about in all the other competitions, and we can say that the Mattress Makers focused completely on the Champions League. For them, this is a do-or-die moment. Of course, Inter has pressure as well because Nerazzurri want to attack the European crown once again.

Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan Preview

Atletico Madrid

A win over Betis, 2-1, stopped a negative streak for Atletico, during which they had two losses and one tie. The losses were against Inter in Milan and Athletic in Bilbao (they suffered an exit from Copa del Rey), while a draw was against Almeria, also on the road.

However, upon returning to their own house, things improved. The fans hope to see such a trend extend against Inter, yet that won’t be easy at all.

Atletico has been confident at Wanda, having eight wins in the last ten games across all the competitions. The Mattress Makers scored at least twice in seven of those ten events, and we often saw them keeping clean sheets.

Inter Milan

Inter is on fire, having 12 consecutive victories and 14 contests without a defeat. The last one came in December when Bologna managed to eliminate Nerazzurri from Coppa Italia. Prior to that one, we saw Inter losing at home in late September, and those are the only two failures this team experienced in this campaign.

Away from Meazza, Inter still hasn’t lost since the season started. Six victories in the previous seven outings are a sure sign that the team is in fantastic shape, and what is even more important, they had five clean sheets throughout that span.

Inter looks like a very serious Champions League title contender, even though they don’t receive enough hype like some other clubs. Simone Inzaghi made a very fluid and adjustable team, physically flawless but also tactically endowed.

Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan Head to Head

Inter was better in Milan, 1-0. Arnautovic scored the only goal in the 79th minute. It was a very rough game, but the hosts squeezed out a victory, and to be honest, the way they played, it was completely deserved.

There is one more meeting between the two, in 2010, when Inter lost the Super Cup trophy to Atletico, 0-2.

Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan Predictions

The game will be hard and very tactical. Despite Atletico’s solid offensive performances at Wanda, we don’t expect to see too many goals, two at most. For those who like long shots, try a red card, as we also expect plenty of tension and physicality.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
