Inter Milan
Atalanta BergamoMatch Preview
Sitting just two points off top spot in the Italian top-flight thanks to their unbeaten record from their opening fixtures, Inter Milan will be looking to keep up the pressure on their rivals with a win over Atalanta on Sunday evening. However, Luciano Spalletti and his players will be more than aware of the challenge facing them, with Atalanta having been last season’s surprise package in Serie A. With a whole host of appealing betting markets surrounding the clash, be sure to check out our predictions below, as well as our top betting tip. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams.
Inter Milan Team News & Form
A late goal from Eder saw Inter maintain their unbeaten league record last time around against Torino, with Spalletti’s men having won 9 and drawn 3 of their opening fixtures. Attackers Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic have been the stars of the show for Inter so far, scoring 15 goals between them. The duo are expected to line up once again for the home side, despite Icardi missing out on recent international fixtures for Argentina through injury. Meanwhile, the summer arrival of Milan Škriniar has helped Inter in becoming far more defensively sound, conceding just 9 goals so far this season in the league. Having failed to capitalise on their home advantage against Torino before the international break, Inter will be hoping to return to winning ways when Atalanta arrive at the San Siro next weekend.
Atalanta Team News & Form
Having led his side to a fourth place finish in Serie A last season, manager Gian Piero Gasperini has so far been unable to get his team firing on all cylinders again, with their European duties seemingly effecting performances. They come into this match off the back of a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to SPAL, leaving them 10th in the standings. Argentina international Alejandro Gomez will once again be the danger man for Atalanta, alongside the likes of Andreas Cornelius and Riccardo Orsolini.
Head to Head
Inter recovered from losing away at Atalanta last season in order to record a 7-1 victory over Gasperini’s men at the San Siro, their biggest win of the campaign. Overall, Inter have won 15 of their 25 past meetings.
