While Inter will have been happy to draw Atletico Madrid for this last sixteen match-up, Diego Simeone will feel as though his side have been harshly treated. Atleti could have received a more favourable opponent given that they qualified as group winners, with the Spanish side now heading to the San Siro looking to give little away.
Atletico recently claimed a 1-1 away draw in the Madrid derby although they were then beaten at home to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa Del Rey before a defeat away to Sevilla by another 1-0 scoreline. The visitors did create plenty of chances in that game although they’re the outsiders to reach the last eight of the competition.
Inter are a tough nut to crack, with Simone Inzaghi’s side looking virtual certainties to land the Scudetto considering that they boast a seven point gap along with a game in hand at the time of writing. They have won nineteen of their twenty-three domestic clashes and there has been just one defeat suffered for this impressive team.
Indeed, Internazionale could end up being dark horses when it comes to the Champions League, with just six goals conceded at the San Siro all term. Therefore, if you’re looking to get more juice from the odds, you could consider a home win along with BTTS No, with a 1-0 or 2-0 winning scoreline potentially on the cards for the Nerazzurri.
