Inter Milan vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Tips

Fresh off the back of clinching the Coppa Italia title, Inter Milan play host to Atalanta in round 37 of Serie A on Saturday.

Having failed to win the last nine meetings between the teams, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side journey to San Siro looking to get one over the hosts as they pursue a top-four finish.

Inter picked up their first piece of silverware of the season on Wednesday when they beat Fiorentina 2-1 to claim a second successive Coppa Italia title.

Simone Inzaghi’s side now turn their attention to Serie A, where they were denied a sixth consecutive win courtesy of a 3-1 loss against Napoli last weekend.

Inter, who have also secured their spot in the Champions League final, are currently third in the Serie A table, two points off second-placed Lazio with two games to go.

As for Atalanta, Juventus’ 10-point deduction has put them back in the race for a Champions League spot as they now sit fifth in the table, three points behind fourth-placed AC Milan.

The Nerazzurri head into Saturday fresh off the back of a 3-1 victory over Hellas Verona, which snapped their run of two successive defeats.

Next up for Atalanta is a rampant Inter Milan side who they have failed to defeat in their last nine attempts since November 2018.
