Inter vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting Tips (2 January)

Triple defending champion of this Italian Super Cup, Inter, in intrepid form at the moment, hopes to achieve the quadruple here in Saudi Arabia. The task will obviously be difficult given the level of the final four with AC Milan and Juventus on the other side but above all, Bergamo, current leader of Serie A in a pocket handkerchief with Naples and the Nerazzurri. We were talking about intrepid form, the Interists led by an excellent Marcus Thuram concocted a fourth victory in a row in all competitions last weekend by defeating Cagliari in the championship 0-3 after success against the Como promotion 2-0, a tough inflicted on Lazio in the capital 0-6, and a victory in the Italian Cup against Flo Thauvin's Udinese 2-0. No goals conceded out of these four victories, proof that the reigning Italian champion finished 2024 in style. On the other side of the median, we find the current holder of the throne in Italy, Atalanta Bergamo .

The Dea managed by Gasperini achieves very good things in all competitions and also remains in four matches without a setback in all competitions, unlike having recorded a draw on the Lazio pitch in the championship last weekend 1- 1, by equalizing in the money-time after multiple chances repelled by the Laziale defense. In the Italian Cup, Bergamo had no mercy on the team playing in SB, Cesena winning 6-1. Casually, on national soil, the winner of the last edition of the Europa League has not lost since September 24, it was in the championship, against Calcio Como 2-3, a series of invincibility of 14 matches without a loss, 12 wins, 2 draws.

There are major injuries to report among the Nerazzurri with Benjamin Pavard, his comrade of the central hinge Acerbi, without forgetting the important right piston Darmian, and the less important Di Gennaro (replacement goalkeeper). On the other hand, the man with 12 goals in the league, Marcus Thuram (+3 assists) will be traveling to Saudi Arabia like the offensive Taremi (ex-Porto), and Lautaro Martinez (6 goals, 2 goals in ITS). We will not forget to mention the presence of the Turkish international Hakan Calhanoglu, and the Italian internationals Barella, Dimarco, and Bastoni, scorer in the championship last weekend. Opposite, Gasperini (coach) should compose his starting group without the crucial Retegui (12 goals, 3 assists in SA) who remains injured, he who had just signed to replace the starting striker of this formation but OUT for the season, Scamacca.

Injured, Ruggeri should also stay in Italy for treatment. Fortunately, the Dea will be able to use the African Lookman Ballon d'Or (9 goals, 5 caviars in SA) decisive on his team's equalizing goal against Lazio with a marvel of passing. We also think of the Belgian crack Charles De Ketelaere (5 pawns, 4 assists in the championship) without forgetting to mention the Dutch international De Roon (3 pawns in SA).
