Inter vs Atalanta Preview
Inter
Inter seem to have found their best form recently. In their last eight matches in all competitions, Simone Inzaghi’s men have won seven and suffered only one defeat, when they lost against Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Since then, Inter have won four consecutive matches and in each of them, they kept a clean sheet. The team have shown a high level of consistency both in attack and defence.

The quality performance in the defence has been a trump card for Inter Milan. Simone Inzaghi has built a system that’s an impenetrable obstacle for the opponents. In addition, they are lethal in the offence and are second with 1.60 xG in Serie A.
| Recent Form | WWWWL |
| Key Players to Watch | Marcus Thuram, Nicolo Barella, Lautaro Martínez. |
| Team Strengths | Aerial duels, counterattacks, effective finishing. |
| Team Weaknesses | Poor defending against fast teams. |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, Raffaele Di Gennaro, Benjamin Pavard |
Atalanta
Atalanta’s winning streak in Serie A was halted in the last match when they drew against Lazio (1-1). They were trailing the whole game but in the 88th minute, Marco Brescianini scored inside the penalty area, salvaging a point for the Bergamaschi.
Given Atalanta’s current form, they are one of the top sides in Europe. They have been playing attacking football, scoring 13 goals in their last five matches. However, the defence is still prone to errors, as they conceded seven as well.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have never won the Italian Super Cup and this could be an ideal moment for them. However the H2H stats show no signs of optimism, as they have last beaten Inter Milan in 2018 (4-1).
| Recent Form | DWWWL |
| Key Players to Watch | Ademola Lookman, Charles De Ketelaere, Ederson |
| Team Strengths | Attacking from flanks, good at set pieces |
| Team Weaknesses | Poor defending against long shots |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Mateo Retegui, Gianluca Scamacca, Matteo Ruggeri |

Bet hereInter vs Atalanta Player Focus
Inter’s best player so far has been Marcus Thuram. The French international has 12 goals and three assists in Serie A.
Despite a lacklustre start, Lautaro Martínez has gradually started scoring goals. El Toro has six goals and will be one of the major threats for Atalanta.
For Atalanta we can point out Mateo Retegui and Ademola Lookman. Both players are in the form of their lives, having scored 12 and 9 goals respectively.
Inter vs Atalanta Tactical Analysis
Inter typically play with a 3-5-2 formation and Simone Inzaghi is unlikely to deviate from this scheme. In this tactical set-up, the full backs have a pivotal role in the defence and offence.
Atalanta either play with a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1 formation. In Gian Piero Gasperini’s system, Charles De Ketelaere and Ademola Lookman are the most important players as they create chances for the team.
Inter vs Atalanta Prediction
- Football pick: Inter to Win
- Odds: 2.13 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Inter 1-0 Atalanta
Both teams have been performing well in recent matches, but we should give a slight edge to Inter Milan. The Nerazzuri are on a path to win the fourth consecutive trophy which will see them get equal with Juventus (9 titles).
The hosts have more experience and know who to play against teams like Atalanta. A balanced defence and offence will be the key for Inter, who will have the initiative throughout the match.
Atalanta will have their chances, but we think it will be Inter prevailing eventually and advancing to the final. We will likely see a tense match and our first pick for the game would be Inter Milan to win.
Inter vs Atalanta Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Both Teams to Score – No
- Odds: 2.05 (22Bet)
This is a semi-final match and considering the status of the game, we expect a careful approach from both sides. The clash will take place at a neutral venue in Saudi Arabia and the teams might struggle in the weather conditions that differ from their home country.
Inter come into the match with a more reliable defence and the ability to maintain concentration in key moments. At the same time, Atalanta, despite their scoring, are prone to defensive errors, which could be a decisive factor in this match.

Inter are expected to control the game and create dangerous moments, while Atalanta will have difficulties in overcoming the opponents’ defence.
Given the current form of the teams and their performances, the likelihood of both teams scoring looks low. Inter have a more stable defence that can neutralize Atalanta’s attack. Our second pick for this match would be both teams not to score.
