Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan best bet: Inter Milan ML (+145)
Inter have been exceptional in Serie A this season, having established a 16-point advantage at the top of the standings, but they have not allowed domestic duties to distract them from their Champions League campaign. It is also advantage to Inter in their Champions League last 16 tie with Atletico Madrid, with the Italians having won the first leg 1-0 at the San Siro. While Atletico will have home advantage this time around, another Inter win looks likely. Simone Inzaghi’s men have been sensational since the turn of the year, winning all 13 of their games in 2024. As part of that run, they have taken down the likes of Lazio, Napoli, Fiorentina, Juventus, Roma, Atalanta and, of course, Atleti and they do not seem fazed by the big occasion. They have game-winners in Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram leading the attack and should be far too strong for their La Liga counterparts.

Borussia Dortmund vs PSV best bet: Borussia Dortmund ML (+105)
PSV more than held their own in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Borussia Dortmund but they may regret not making the most of home advantage. The Dutch team tied 1-1 with Dortmund at the Philips Stadion, leaving things evenly poised ahead of the second leg in Germany. But facing Dortmund’s Yellow Wall is no easy task and the Bundesliga club should win and progress. Not only did Dortmund come through an incredibly challenging group in the Champions League, topping Group F ahead of PSG, Milan and Newcastle, but they have also hit a good run of form this year. They have lost only 1 of their 10 games in 2024, winning 6 of those games, including a 2-1 road win against Werder Bremen on Saturday. Dortmund have plenty of options going forward, from Jadon Sancho to Donyell Malen to Marco Reus, and they can make their added European experience count at Signal Iduna Park.
