Inter vs Atletico Madrid prediction 20.02.2024

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 20th February 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)

Inter and Atletico Madrid are not among the favorites like Manchester City or Real Madrid to lift the Champions League trophy, but they both hope to progress to the quarterfinal phase at least. The matchup between these two teams could be the most interesting in the current round.

Inter doesn't have an adequate opponent in Serie A this season. They are ten points ahead of the next team on the table, so they will almost certainly put another title in their trophy room. Inter Milan are in a great moment as they won the last eight matches in a row in all competitions. In the previous game, Inter won 4-0 at home against Salernitana. The home side had numerous goal-scoring chances, so there was never a doubt that Inter would take all three points. 

Atletico Madrid have another solid year. They are not good enough to compete for the La Liga title, but Diego Simeone's team should have another top-four result in the strongest Spanish competition. Atletico Madrid wasn't at the best moment ahead of the game versus Inter as they were on three games without a winning run until the last match when Simeone's team trashed 5-0 Las Palmas. That is exactly what Atletico Madrid needed in his moment. 

Inter vs Atletico Madrid pick: Inter to win

Inter are one of the hottest teams in Europe at the moment. They have eight wins in a row with a 21:4 goal difference. On the other hand, we should anticipate Atletico Madrid to play defensively in the first leg and hope for a draw. At this moment, Inter is looking like a better team, so we should expect their win versus Diego Simeone's side.
