Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan Match Analysis & Prediction
13/03/2024 11:00 pm
Seeking to overturn a one-goal deficit, Atletico Madrid host Inter Milan at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano for the second leg of ther Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night.
Simone Inzaghi’s side secured a narrow 1-0 first-leg victory at San Siro three weeks ago, through a late second-half goal from Marko Arnautovic.
Diego Simeone, who represented Inter during his playing days, has come under pressure in recent weeks as his Atletico side have won just two of their last nine matches across all competitions, failing to score on five occasions during this run, including last weekend’s 2-0 La Liga defeat at Cadiz.
Atletico enter this contest having failed to progress from any of their last three knockout ties after losing the first leg, but they will welcome a return to Wanda Metropolitano where they have lost just one of their last 32 games across all competitions, while they have also won seven of their last nine home encounters with Italian opposition.
In stark contrast to Atletico, Inter head to the Spanish capital in buoyant mood as they have won 14 and drawn one of their last 15 matches across all competitions, including a narrow 1-0 away victory over Bologna in Serie A last weekend.
Inter will be confident of securing their spot in the quarter-finals having progressed from seven of their last eight Champions League knockout ties after winning the first leg, but success against Atletico is not a given as the Nerazzurri have failed to win any of their last 10 visits to Spain in Europe’s elite club competition.

Atletico Madrid Team News
Atletico are hopeful that Antoine Griezmann and Jose Gimenez could both return to the matchday squad after missing each of the last four matches with respective ankle and thigh injuries.
Either Gabriel Paulista or Stefan Savic is expected to start in central defence if Gimenez is not deemed fit to feature, while Nahuel Molina could replace Marcos Llorente at right wing-back.
