Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Inter head into this game on the back of an eight-game winning streak across all competitions and they have lost just twice at home this season. 

Atletico's victory against Las Palmas ended a three-game winless run and they will be confident of bringing something back to Madrid for the second leg.

Prediction: Inter Milan 1-1 Atletico Madrid
