Atalanta BC vs. Inter Milan
After Inter Milan won the Italian Supercup in the final against Juventus Turin on Wednesday evening, they are looking for another win in a top match. To do so, the Nerazzurri must defeat a very in-form Bergamo side in Serie A. After Bergamo ended the year with a 0-0 draw against Genoa, the Bergamaski swept away Udinese Calcio with a 6-2 win to start the year. Atalanta are currently 4th in the table with 41 points.
Inter Milan leads the Italian league with 49 points. The Interisti recently won against Lazio Roma, their eighth win in a row. What Simone Inzaghi is getting out of Inter is something many experts would not have thought possible after the departure of Antonio Conte and Romelu Lukaku. So far, the Milanese side have only lost one match in Serie A. With the Super Cup win behind them, the next step towards the Scudetto should be a three-goal win in Bergamo.

Atalanta Form & Balance Check
Atalanta dropped a whole five points before the turn of the year. The Bergamaski lost with 1:4 clearly against AS from Rome and then played only 0:0 against Genoa. Thus Bergamo gave away important points in the championship fight. However, Atalanta came back brilliantly from their short winter break. Bergamo swept a clearly inferior Udinese team from the field with 6:2. There it was again, the great offensive football of the Bergamski. The win consolidated Atalanta’s 4th place in the table with 41 points.
Better away than at home
Bergamo’s record in their last five games includes three wins, a draw and the heavy defeat against Roma. However, none of those three wins came at home to Bergamski. In fact, Bergamo have only managed to collect 12 points in nine games at Gewiss Stadion. Away from home, however, Atalanta are the best team in Serie A. Bergamo have picked up a full 29 of a possible 33 away points and are still unbeaten away from home. The first leg against Inter in Milan ended in a 2-2 draw.

Predicted line-up – last update on 14 January 2022
Atalanta Bergamo are playing very boldly and offensively. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini has established the 3-4-2-1 formation at Atalanta. Bergamski plays with high wing-backs, who are co-determinants of the offensive play. In terms of personnel, Bergamo must continue to do without international Robin Gosens and striker Duvan Zapata.
Inter Milan will be taking a similar approach. However, the Milanese play in the basic formation with a five-man midfield on one level. The wing-backs take up the wing positions. In addition, Milan play with two forwards, formed by Martinez and Dzeko.
