Inter Milan vs Atalanta Predictions
- Atalanta are unbeaten in their last six games, winning four times during that run.
- The visitors have only lost on one of their 10 away league trips this season, claiming 21 points (W6 D3).
- Inter Milan have only won one of their last three home games in 90 minutes.
Heavyweight quarter-final set
With Napoli running away with the Scudetto, winning the Coppa Italia has taken on additional importance for several of Italy’s top sides this season, not least holders Inter Milan, who have slipped even further behind the Partenopei after a handful of slip-ups in January. In-form visitors Atalanta, meanwhile, have finished as Coppa Italia runners-up twice under Gian Piero Gasperini, and they will hope to go one better this campaign.Inter posted a 3-2 win at Atalanta in their final fixture before the World Cup, but they have not looked entirely solid since returning to action. Saturday’s hard-fought 2-1 win at bottom club Cremonese made it six victories in their last nine outings, but the Nerazzurri have only won one of their last three home matches in 90 minutes, requiring extra time to beat second-tier Parma in the last 16. Six of Inter’s last nine games have contained over 2.5 goals, and more entertainment is expected here.
Indeed, Atalanta have scored 22 goals and conceded 10 during a six-game unbeaten run, which includes a draw at Juventus and resounding wins over several Serie A strugglers. La Dea have prospered away from Bergamo this term, taking 21 of their 38 points on the road, with only Napoli proving more successful in away Serie A games. While Atalanta have not beaten Inter since November 2018, they have managed five draws in the last eight head-to-head meetings, and their fine run of mid-season form could help them pick up a similar result on Tuesday.
La Dea to stay competitive
Given Atalanta’s excellent recent form and their fine record on the road, backing them to earn a result of some kind on Tuesday looks prudent – the price around Inter offers little value and their shaky rearguard is sure to be troubled by the lively visitors.While we’re backing Atalanta on the double chance market, a 2-2 draw – which would tee up extra time – could represent a decent correct score prediction for what should be an even and entertaining affair.
