Atalanta vs Inter Milan Predictions and Betting Tips
The Gewiss Stadium is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Atalanta and Inter square off in the italian top-flight this weekend. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Both sides played out an entertaining four-goal thriller when they locked horns in the reverse fixture back in September. However, this prolonged Atalanta's search for a victory for a win against the Milan club with their last win dating back to September 2018- a run that has spanned across six games.
Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards
Le Dea kicked off the new year on the best possible note as they went on to put six past Udinese last weekend. Luis Muriel was the star of the show with two goals as Gasperini and his troops celebrated a 6-2 victory. This was very much needed given that they failed to win the two league games prior. As of now, they're in 4th position on the league standings, three ahead of 5th-placed Juventus who have played a game more. Muriel was on the scoresheet once again as Atalanta downed Venezia in their Coppa Italia tie last Wednesday and although the defending champions are a different kettle of fish, Atalanta looks like a side on the ascension with their recent performances.
Internazionale did well to pick up a mid-season trophy last Wednesday, beating Juventus in the Italian Super Cup final. With both sides cancelling each other out after 90 minutes, Alexis Sanchez was on hand to win it for his side on the 120th minute. This stretched Inter's winning run to five games in all competitions as we've seen them pick up all three points in their last four league matches. This 12-point tally has put them at the summit of the standings with just one solitary point separating them from city rivals Milan who have played a game more.
