Atletico-Inter UCL Thriller: Eimer's Expert Picks

Soccer

The 2024 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg between Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan is shaping up to be an epic showdown. After a hard-fought 1-0 win for Inter in the first leg, both teams will be leaving everything on the pitch at the Civitas Metropolitan Stadium on Wednesday.

Soccer insider Jon Eimer has been red-hot with his UEFA Champions League picks lately. Since the World Cup ended, he’s an impressive 86-59-5 on English Premier League predictions for a massive $3,463 profit to $100 bettors who followed his plays.

For the massive Atletico vs Inter second leg clash, Eimer is siding with the Italian visitors to get the win (draw no bet) at -130 odds.

“Inter have shown across all competitions that they are capable of dominating on the road,” Eimer told SportsLine. “Seventy goals scored and only 13 allowed after 28 Serie A matches is just an outrageous record.”

“This is a team that doesn’t care about home field advantage and will look to advance after a big second leg performance in Spain.”

Inter come in on a torrid 13-match winning streak across all competitions. Their fearsome attack is led by Lautaro Martinez, who has 22 goals in league play alone this season.

Atletico will be desperate to get back on level terms after failing to register a single shot on target in the 1-0 first leg defeat. Manager Diego Simeone will be looking to Spanish stars Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann to provide the goals and spark an unlikely comeback.

But Eimer thinks Inter’s stellar defensive record and red-hot form will be too much for Atletico to overcome over two legs.

“While Atletico have an impressive 13-1-0 home record in domestic play, Inter’s overall body of work this season has been exceptional,” Eimer said. “I’m riding the hot hand and backing the Italian leaders to finish the job and advance.”
