Why Bet on Atletico Madrid?
Atlético changed its dynamics, and it’s least defensive in its approach. However, it has caused defensive deficiencies, and they tend to leave many spaces, even with three at the back, especially in important games.
The last time, they got a 2-0 defeat against Cádiz, a team that will probably lose the category. We could think they were thinking in this match, but it’s hard to tell if that is the correct order of priority, considering that Athletic Club is breathing on their necks for fourth place.
Regarding the Champions League, as we know, they assured the group leadership after easily dominating Lazio, their contenders. However, they had the bad luck of landing the best second-placed side from the group phase. Lazio got obliterated by Bayern, while Feyenoord encountered its buggy team (Europe-wise) in Roma for the Europa League, falling on penalties. Group E wasn’t the one with luck, undoubtedly.
Why Bet on Inter?
Inter is the best team in Italy and one of the best in the world, boasting the best defense in all of Europe’s top-level football. However, none of these accolades will be worth it if they don’t show their quality on the international stage. Atlético Madrid provided an acid test early on, but they still were good enough to take the victory in the first leg.
For the league, a goal by Yann Aurel Bisseck gave them the victory in a tight match at the home of Bologna, one of the teams with the best performance in the current Serie A season. The club squad’s deep is remarkable, as even the substitutes have great numbers.
For the Champions League, they got overconfident and ended up surrendering the first place to Real Sociedad. As a result, they faced a group leader, but it’s hard to tell if the Spanish team had better luck, considering they encountered PSG and got thrashed.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlético Madrid vs. Inter
Even if Inter has a much better-performing defense, both teams were pretty tight at the back in the first leg, with the match being decided by a trombolic play. The game will hardly feature many goals unless an unexpected situation, like an early goal or expulsion, breaks the tempo.
Inter will try to implement its best tools to asphyxiate the rivals and seal the match at the counter-attack, while Atlético must go all out trying to tie the aggregate as soon as possible. We believe they’ll cancel each other and get a nerve-cracking 0-0 draw.
Go for a draw at 3.33. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $233 for a total payout of $333.
