Atalanta and Inter are clashing at Gewiss Stadium in round 22 of the Italian Serie A. Atalanta are back to scoring goals, they are slowly getting their groove back, but Inter is a tough opponent. Inter has been extremely dominant in Serie A, and they have just won the Italian Super Cup against Juventus.
Atalanta is now on a 2-game winning streak, while they haven’t lost any of their last 3 games. In their last Serie A game, Atalanta has destroyed Udinese on the road 2-6, and that was without Duvan Zapata. In their Coppa Italia matchup earlier this week, Atalanta has beaten Verona at home. Thanks to this streak, Atalanta has remained in the top 4, and they are now in 4th place with 41 points. Scoring 44 goals in 20 games are not bad at all, but Atalanta is not the best offensive team in the league, but they can do better than this. Zapata has 9 goals to his name in Serie A this season, while Pasalic has added 8 goals and 5 assists. Zapata is the only injured player for Atalanta as of right now. Atalanta is in a good situation right now, they are in good form, and they are hosting a bit tired Inter team who they can beat for sure.
Inter is in absolutely amazing form right now, they haven’t lost any of their last 12 Serie A games while winning their last 11 Serie A game straight. Inter also hasn’t conceded a goal in their last 6 Serie A games in a row. In addition to all that, Inter has beaten Juventus after overtime in the Italian Super Cup finals earlier this week, and they have gotten their first trophy of the season. Inter is also the best offensive team in the league with 51 scored goals, while they conceded only 16, and they are among the best defensive teams in the league. Martinez is the leading goalscorer for Inter with 11 goals, while Dzeko added 8 goals. Calhanoglu and Barella have each added 7 assists. There are no injuries in Inter as of right now. Inter is playing extremely well, they are at the top of the table, but I know this streak can’t last forever. Sure, I would love to see Inter holding onto this form for a while, but with them having a midweek game, I’m not sure they can.
Both Atalanta and Inter are playing well right now, and numbers indicate this will be a fun game, and a game where Inter should win, but Atalanta is the home team here and I think they might get a positive score. I will contain myself and avoid the winner, and I will stick to goals.
