- Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano
Inter Milan will want to keep up their 100 per cent record in the Champions League this season when they play Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night. Six points separate the sides after four games of group-stage action, with the hosts in 17th and the Italians seated pretty in the top three. ATLETICO would be the favourites due to home advantage but under Cristian Chivu Inter have long since demonstrated just how well they can fight above their weight on European trips.

Champions League
These two teams have met on five prior matches, though only twice in the Champions League. Last month’s friendly finished 1-1, with the other meetings in the International Champions Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Atletico lead the overall head-to-head two wins to Inter’s one, with one draw. Their games between one another are usually close (they average only 1.8 goals a game).
Atletico Madrid team overview
Atletico Madrid had a rough time of it at the outset of the 2025-26 season, picking up just one win in their first six matches.
Diego Simeone’s team, though, soon got into their stride, winning three on the trot – the sequence of results featured league successes over Rayo and Real Madrid and a 5-1 triumph in the Champions League at Eintracht Frankfurt.
This form doesn’t seem to be disappearing soon as they have only lost once in their last eight games in all competitions. The Colchoneros went into the November international break on a four-game winning streak and barely extended that with a 1-0 win against Getafe last weekend.
Simeone’s men also know that they’ve won seven of their last nine home games in the Champions League - a run which gives them plenty of confidence heading into his clash. Giuliano Simeone is a doubt after he missed the trip to Getafe due to a muscular issue and Robin Le Normand remains out with a knee injury.

Inter Milan team overview
Inter Milan themselves went into the break in good form, winning four consecutive matches. They lost narrowly 1-0 to AC Milan on their return in the derby last weekend, which stretched their winless streak in that fixture to six games, yet their away record remains impressive.
Chivu’s men have been formidable on the road, winning five of their last six away matches and boasting an equally solid record in Europe.
Injuries continue to challenge the squad, with Denzel Dumfries, Tomás Palacios, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Raffaele Di Gennaro unavailable for this match.
Despite these absences, Inter’s mix of experience and attacking talent, led by Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram who have six Champions League goals between them this season gives them hope of snatching points even against a team with home advantage.

Prediction
Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan have proved in recent clashes that games between them are swamped up by narrow margins. Both teams have scored and conceded in the past but they don’t tend to score more than twice. I am expecting a tactical struggle at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, opportunities at either and no one quite able to seize control. 1-1 sounds about right.
Three reasons we expect under 2.5 goals in this game
- Atletico Madrid have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five matches.
- None of the last five games of Inter produced more than three goals.
- Bets on under 2.5 goals won in each of the last five meetings between Atletico and Inter.
