Match Overview
Atletico Madrid host Inter Milan at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid in a match in the second leg of the round of sixteen stage of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. With the first leg having been on by Inter by a 1-0 scoreline at the San Siro in Milan, the home team will have a lot on their plate. Atletico need to be on the front foot.
Key Highlights
Atletico's defence has been sharp this season, and if they manage to recreate that in this game as well, they will feel that they can challenge Inter. The latter, however, are known to play well away from home, and it will be nice to see how they respond to the challenges set to them by Atletico. Whichever team manages to take the early advantage will benefit.
Injury Report
Both these teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks, which includes the likes of Vitolo, Thomas Lemar and Marcos Paulo for Atletico. For Inter, Stefano Sensi, Marko Arnautovic and Juan Cuadrado are not available for selection.
Prediction
Despite having won the first-leg encounter, Inter Milan are not the favourites to win this game. At the same time, neither are Atletico. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. There have been a total of just three games played between these two teams in the past, out of which Inter Milan have won two. Atletico Madrid have won just one game, back in 2010.
