Atletico Madrid v Inter predictions

Inter surpassed expectations by reaching the 2023 Champions League final but they are widely seen as a genuine contenders for the trophy this season and can sail through to the last eight by beating Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

The tie is finely balanced after Inter's 1-0 first leg success, which was scant reward for their domination of the contest.

Atletico attempted to park the bus at San Siro and rode their luck until the 79th minute when Inter substitute Marko Arnautovic popped up with a smart finish from a tight angle.

Losing the first leg 1-0 is far from a disaster, especially now that the away goals rule no longer applies, but Atletico are still facing a tough task.

Inter hold a 16-point advantage over second-placed Milan in the Serie A title race and they have not lost an away game all season. However, they will still have a healthy respect for Atletico, who are notoriously strong on home soil.

Atleti have the best home record in La Liga with 40 points accrued from a possible 42, although their fortress was breached last month when Athletic Bilbao beat them 1-0 in a Copa del Rey clash.

Diego Simeone's side bowed out of the Copa del Rey by losing the second leg 3-0 and their poor recent run continued on Saturday with a 2-0 La Liga loss away to lowly Cadiz.

The Champions League offers Atletico a last chance of silverware but their confidence may be fragile after recent results and any weaknesses could be exploited by Inter, who look the likelier second-leg winners.

Atletico Madrid v Inter bet builder predictions

Inter to win
Inter are on a 13-game winning streak and are playing well enough to inflict Atletico Madrid's second home loss of the campaign.

Under 2.5 goals
Five of Inter's seven Champions League games have generated under three goals and the low-scoring trend looks set to continue.

Lautaro Martinez to score any time
Martinez has racked up 26 goals in all competitions and looks a likely scorer in the Spanish capital.
