This week, the emotions of the first leg matches of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 continue, when the last four first-leg matches of this stage take place.
The table is set for four high-voltage clashes, as the 16 teams alive in the tournament have shown a spectacular level of play in the Group Stage. Although there are some teams more favored than others, the important thing is that we will have more and more emotions in each of the matches.
Let us remember that these are double elimination matches, that is to say, the clubs have to play at home and away to define the eight qualified for the quarterfinals. That is why it is so important to start on the right foot in the round of 16, as it is one step closer to achieving the goal.
Now then, the best round-of-16 tie will be between Inter Milan and Atlético Madrid. The first leg of this series will be played this Tuesday, February 20.

Why Bet on Inter?
Undoubtedly, Inter Milan did not have the ideal Group Stage as, although they started as favorites to win Group D comfortably, Real Sociedad made things difficult for them and took the lead.
That does not imply that the team performed poorly or anything like that, as in the end, they tied with the Spanish team with a balance of three wins and three draws, finishing equal on 12 points. It is now crucial for the Neroazurri to transfer their extraordinary speed and caliber of play from Serie A to this first leg of the Champions League round of 16 to gain a significant advantage heading into the second leg in Madrid.
Inter could come into this match against Atleti with all their components in top form, as they played a reasonably straightforward game this weekend against Salernitana.
Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
For its part, Atlético de Madrid returns to the round of 16 of the Champions League after some seasons of absence, in which it failed to perform at the proper level in the group phase.
With all this behind them, the Colchoneros led Group E with a balance of four wins, two draws, and 17 goals for and six against, ahead of Lazio, Feyenoord, and Celtic.
Indeed, Atleti is not playing well in LaLiga right now. However, we are aware that Champions League matches have a different feeling, and they will leave their skin on the field to try to win in Italy. Let’s remember that this team has been the protagonist of several surprises in the past, so we can’t take anything for granted.
Final Betting Analysis: Inter vs. Atlético Madrid
There have been two occasions in the history of European soccer when these teams have met, and the results have been the same, with each team triumphing once. However, this will be their first meeting in the Champions League, as their most recent clash took place in the International Cup in 2018, which Inter won 1-0.
At Gambyl Betting Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Inter at 1.86, while Atletico Madrid starts at 4.80.
With the Colchoneros being a team with a different approach this season, we doubt the match will have few goals. Notwithstanding, the Nerazurri’s superlative defense will mark the difference in a fought 2-1 triumph for the locals.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Inter. For example, if you put $100 on Inter at 1.86, you’ll see a $186.00 win with a total payout of $286.00.
