Atletico Madrid Team News
Atletico left the field with zero shots on target and with no real idea how to counter Inter’s midfield and defensive lines. Meanwhile, Diego Simeone’s problems are not limited to the poor performance in the first match, with a looming threat of not participating in the Champions League next season due to inconsistent performances in La Liga. With these gloomy considerations, Atletico hosts Inter in the second leg of the first playoff round.
Besides the weak game in the first match against Inter, Atletico has serious problems in La Liga. In the last three matches, Atletico won only once, with a draw against Almeria (2-2) and a loss to Cadiz (2-0). During this period, Simeone’s team also lost in the Copa Del Rey semifinals to Athletic Bilbao with a score of 3-0. The poor performances of the Spanish capital club put them on the verge of potentially losing the fourth place to Athletic Bilbao, given that the point difference between them is only two. While Bilbao is on the rise, Atletico is clearly in crisis, which could cost them a place in the Champions League next season. In these circumstances, competing with Inter, even with the home advantage, will prove to be an extremely difficult task for Atletico.
Nevertheless, coach Diego Simeone has a fairly good squad depth but will have to deal with the absence of four key players, as Thomas Lemar, Cesar Azpilicueta, Antoine Griezmann, and Jose Maria Gimenez will miss the next game. Additionally, Pablo Barrios is doubtful, while Vitolo has been sidelined for a while.
In a 3-5-2 formation, the last line should consist of Axel Witsel, Gabriel Paulista, and Mario Hermoso, while the most forward players are likely to be Memphis Depay and Alvaro Morata.
Inter Team News
The first match between these two teams went according to Simone Inzaghi’s plan. The Italian coach considered all of Atletico’s weaknesses and neutralized most of the potential threats to his team. During the match, there was a strong feeling that Inter would score; it was just a matter of time, and indeed, it could have happened much earlier than the 79th minute.
Inter is flying high and has almost resolved all doubts in Serie A, allowing Nerazzurri to focus on the Champions League in an attempt to repeat last season’s success when Inter reached the final. After a minimal energy expenditure victory against Bologna with a score of 1-0, Inter extended its winning streak to 13 matches and holds a comfortable lead over competitors in Serie A with 16 points ahead of second-placed Milan. Simone Inzaghi’s team has not lost in 15 consecutive matches, and with a one-goal advantage secured in the first match against Atletico, they are in a winning position in the upcoming clash.
Manager Inzaghi will only be without two players for this game as most of his squad is fit. Juan Cuadrado and Stefano Sensi are still sidelined and are expected to return at the end of this month. Forward Marcus Thuram got injured in their last game and was replaced by Marko Arnautović, but the Frenchman is expected to return for this match.
It is expected that compared to the previous encounter, changes in the lineup will only occur in the backline, specifically in the central defender position, where Stefan de Vrij will replace Alessandro Bastoni.

Atletico Madrid vs Inter Prediction
Although Atletico Madrid will play at home, we believe that Inter is closer to victory due to their excellent form. Additionally, the home team has a series of poor results, so we predict that it will be extremely difficult for them to achieve a positive outcome. Furthermore, we expect the match to be quite tactical, so we suggest betting on Inter’s victory with an expectation of a maximum of three goals scored throughout the game.
