Inter to maintain home rule
The Champions League round of 16 continues with two more first-leg matches on Tuesday, and the game between Serie A leaders Inter Milan and Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid is the standout.
Inter have been an almost unstoppable force in Italy this season, losing just once in Serie A to open up a nine-point lead over second-placed Juventus with a game in hand, and although they were less dominant in the Champions League group stages they stayed unbeaten.
Simone Inzaghi’s men are on a winning streak of eight games across all competitions and they will be confident of continuing that on Tuesday, particularly given Atletico’s struggles on the road of late.
The Nerazzurri have made the Giuseppe Meazza something of a fortress this season, with just two defeats at home across all competitions, one of which came after extra time in the Coppa Italia.
Inter qualified for the Champions League knockout round in second place in Group D, behind Real Sociedad on goal difference, with each having won and drawn three games across the group stages.
They are fourth in La Liga, having won just four and lost six of their 12 away league games, and have also lost five of their last eight games on the road in all competitions. A home win and at least two goals in the match is our first selection.
Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid tip 1: Inter to win and over 1.5 goals @ 13/10 with Paddy Power
Martinez can make mark
Inter striker Lautaro Martinez is on course for his best goalscoring season, his 20 league goals in this campaign being just one behind his record in the league.
The Argentina forward also leads the European goalscoring charts for his club with two strikes in the group stage, so he is favourite to be involved in any moment of magic in front of goal.
With the likes of Marcus Thuram alongside him as well as goalscoring midfielders such as Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu, Martinez is equally likely to serve up a goal or an assist.
Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid tip 2: Lautaro Martinez to score or assist @ 11/10 with Paddy Power
Busy night in store for officials
This encounter has the potential to boil over, with tensions and the occasion potentially getting the better of a few players.
Calhanoglu has committed 41 fouls in Serie A this season – more than any other Inter player – while Atletico’s Mario Hermoso has picked up seven yellow cards to lead his club in this metric. Our bet builder starts off with two or more fouls by the former and another yellow for the latter.
Inter’s home advantage is likely to be the difference maker in this encounter but, with five goals in the group stages, Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann is unlikely to accept defeat lying down.
The Frenchman has taken more shots than any other player in the Atletico Madrid squad with 57, and with 23 of these being on target he could be a good bet to test Yann Sommer more than once.
Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid tip 3: Bet builder: Mario Hermoso to be shown a card, Antoine Griezmann 2+ shots on target and Hakan Calhanoglu to commit 2+ fouls @ 17/1 with Paddy Power
