Inter vs Atalanta Preview
Inter
Inter have avoided defeat across their opening two matches this term, and they sit just two points off the top of the standings at this early stage. The reigning champions picked up a first win of the season on Saturday, securing a 2-0 home success against Lecce at the San Siro.

However, Inter fielded a starting eleven with an average age of 30 years and 343 days, which was the oldest starting line-up named in Serie A since May 2023. But, they were great in front of their home fans with Matteo Darmian and Hakan Calhanoglu finding the net. It could be a concern that they are an aging side when making an Inter vs Atalanta prediction this weekend.

Atalanta
The visitors will be an outside selection when making an Inter vs Atalanta prediction this weekend. However, they come into this third round of matches hoping to enhance their European credentials in 2024-25. But, they will have questions to answer at the San Siro after falling to a first defeat of the season against Torino on Sunday.

That defeat meant that they were unable to build on their dominant first outing of the new season after beating Lecce 4-0 on matchday one.
Atalanta went ahead against Torino on Sunday, but they conceded either side of the half time break to eventually fall to a defeat. However, they should have earned at least a draw after Mario Pašalić missed a spot kick in the sixth minute of second half injury time.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | L-W-L-L-L |
| Key Players to Watch | Charles De Ketelaere, Ederson |
| Team Strengths | Strong options in the middle of the park |
| Team Weaknesses | Atalanta have looked weak defensively in recent weeks |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Mitchel Bakker (Muscle) Sead Kolasinac (Thigh) Rafael Toloi (Thigh) Gianluca Scamacca (ACL) Giorgio Scalvini (ACL) |
Inter vs Atalanta Head-to-Head Statistics
It could be important to assess the dominance of the home side before making an Inter vs Atalanta prediction this week. Inter have won each of their last four matches against their rivals, which includes a 4-0 success in this exact fixture last term.
Meanwhile, Atalanta are without a win in their last eleven league matches against Inter since a 4-1 home success in November 2018.
Inter vs Atalanta Player Focus
Hakan Çalhanoğlu was at the heart of everything positive Inter did in their recent home win, and he could be crucial to their chances once again on Friday.

The Turkish international has scored once in two league matches this term, and he netted 13 goals and registered three assists in 32 league outings last season.
Inter vs Atalanta Tactical Analysis
Atalanta’s style of play this term has been negatively impacted due to injury issues at the top of the field. The eleven that they field on Friday could also be without Ademola Lookman, who is widely expected to leave for PSG before the transfer deadline.

Therefore, it is hard to see any game plan other than a defensive outlook by Atalanta on Friday. We expect Inter to dominate the possession, and they should have the talent in the final third to create clear scoring opportunities at the San Siro.
Inter vs Atalanta Prediction
- Football pick: Inter to win
- Odds: 1.64 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Inter 3-1 Atalanta
Atalanta’s progression this season has been impacted by the sheer number of injuries that they have needed to contend with. For that reason, we struggle to overlook the prospect of another Inter win against their Italian rivals, and they could land victory by a two-goal margin in the capital.
Inter vs Atalanta Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Marcus Thuram To Score
- Odds: 2.3 (22Bet)
Marcus Thuram has been in excellent form across the opening weeks of the season in Serie A. The French international has already scored two goals in as many matches this term, and he could be the standout pick to register a third goal this weekend.
