Inter Milan v Atlético Madrid Preview

Inter Milan’s Form

Inter Milan have arguably been the most consistent side in European Football these last 12 months not named Man City following their Champions League defeat to the Cityzens last season. That form has continued to roll on with Inter Milan currently on an 8-match winning streak in all competitions and unbeaten in their last 10.

Inter played at home last Friday and had a comfortable 4-0 victory over Salernitana to continue their fine form. It was no more than they deserved too with their 26 shots amassing an XG of 4.49 compared with their opponent’s 1 shot and XG of 0.05.

While their early elimination at the Round of 16 stage in the Coppa Italia means they can’t repeat their treble heroics from the 2009/2010 season, the double remains on the cards with league and European aspirations.

Atlético Madrid’s Form      

Atlético have been managed by Diego Simeone since 2011 and such longevity at the club is nothing short of a remarkable feat in modern football. While La Liga victories and Champions League finals have been achieved under Simeone in the past, this season the club are off-the-pace of a title charge at 4th in the table and 11 points behind Real Madrid in 1st place.

On Saturday, Atletico had a comprehensive 5-0 victory against Las Palmas to end their 3-game winless run. However, it was no more than what they deserved with their clinical finishing, getting those 5 goals from 13 shots and an XG of 2.79, restricting their opponents to 11 shots and an XG of 0.65.

Atlético may be considered underdogs for this fixture, due to their contrasting lines of form in the bigger picture. However, Simeone’s side will as ever be set up well and difficult to beat on Tuesday.

Key Players To Watch

Lautaro Martinez – Inter Milan

The Argentine striker is one of the most underrated footballers in European football despite a record of 23 goals and 5 assists from 31 matches in all competitions this season.

Lautaro offers far more than goal contributions to this Inter Milan side, he is a workhorse with 1.08 Tackles Per 90 (87th percentile), 0.67 interceptions (99th percentile) and 0.95 Blocks (86th percentile) for all forwards.

Antonio Griezmann – Atlético Madrid

A player who is ageing like a fine Spanish Wine, Griezmann (32), has 18 goals and 7 assists from 35 matches in all competitions this season.

Like Lautaro he offers much more than goal contributions, with his work ethic and defensive contribution paramount too. This season per 90 minutes the Frenchman is averaging 1.19 Tackles (93rd percentile), 0.6 Interceptions (98th percentile) and 1.01 Blocks (89th percentile), those percentile ranks are among forwards.

Inter Milan v Atlético Madrid Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Inter Milan 1-0 Atlético Madrid

Inter Milan are on a serious winning run and will fancy their chances of going deep in this competition again following their runner-up finish last season.

Atlético are not the strongest they’ve ever been but remain a tough nut to crack under Simeone and they will make things difficult for the more fancied Inter Milan.

Inter Milan should do enough, but Atlético could keep the game tight.

Best Bet: Inter Milan Win + Under 1.5 Goals @ 5/1
