Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid: Champions League prediction, kick-off time, TV, team news, h2h, odds today

Italian league leaders are in superb form as they host tonight’s last-16 first leg
Marc Mayo20 February 2024

Last year’s Champions League finalists Inter Milan begin their knockout campaign against Atletico Madrid today.

The Serie A leaders are on an eight-game win streak and have not lost since before Christmas as they eye not only the Scudetto but the chance to go one better than last season’s defeat to Manchester City in the final.

Yet Inter narrowly finished second in their group, so must make the most of their early home advantage against Diego Simeone’s wily Atletico side on Tuesday night.

A confidence-boosting 5-0 win over Las Palmas on the weekend ended a three-match winless run for Los Rojiblancos.

Despite being perennial knockout contenders, Atleti have often come unstuck at this stage and are not fancied to lift the trophy this time around.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.

The match will take place at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
