Inter Milan vs. Atletico Madrid Betting Prediction

At -125, Inter Milan is an overlay. The home team in this is playing lights out, dominating most of their opponents.

Inter also beat Lazio in their form cycle before their last 5. Lazio upset Bayern in a CL match last week. As mentioned above, Inter’s excellent attack starts with the fantastic Lautaro Martinez.

The Argentinian superstar has 21 goals and 2 assists in 21 starts and a single appearance off the bench. So in 22 games, Martinez has accounted for 21 goals by himself. That’s great stuff. Atletico won’t stop Lautaro from scoring at least a goal, maybe 2, in this. Back Inter to cash.
