Check out our predictions of the day for Atletico Madrid vs. Inter Milan
Prediction 1: Atletico Madrid x Inter Milan / Draw or Inter
Inter has been unbeatable as of late, and Atletico cannot afford to have another powderpuff performance in the last third if they want to save the tie.
Even though the Italians have a dismal record while playing in Spain, they are riding high on the return of superstars like Martinez after a weekend break and should be able to propel Inzaghi’s squad into the quarterfinals.
Prediction 2: Atletico Madrid x Inter Milan / Under 2.5 goals
The match between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan will likely finish with less than 2.5 goals. In addition to the last encounter between the two teams, five of Inter’s and Atletico’s past ten clashes have finished with less than 2.5 goals.
Prediction 3: Atletico Madrid x Inter Milan / Full-time draw
Given their previous struggles, discounting Atletico Madrid’s performance at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium would not be very smart. In all tournaments played at home this season, Los Colchoneros have lost only once. Additionally, they have gone undefeated in their past eight Champions League games at this stadium.
At the moment, Inter Milan is the European club to beat. The current leaders of Serie A have an outstanding record on the road in Europe and have won their past thirteen games overall. On Wednesday, we expect the away team to continue their winning streak in the Champions League, which is now eight games.
