Battle for 1st place in Serie A – Atalanta vs Inter Fixture

Atalanta’s Offensive and Defensive Form

Atalanta come into this fixture after an emphatic 4-0 demolition of Juventus, highlighting their attacking prowess. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have scored 63 goals in 28 Serie A matches this season—matching Inter for the best offensive record in the league. Their top scorer, Mateo Retegui, has been instrumental, and his partnership with Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere ensures Atalanta have multiple goal threats.

However, despite their attacking strength, Atalanta have struggled defensively at times, particularly at home. They have not won at the Gewiss Stadium in Serie A in 2025 (D4, L1) and have conceded to teams like Cagliari and Club Brugge, showing vulnerability at the back.

Inter Milan’s Attack and Recent Away Struggles

Like Atalanta, Inter Milan have been prolific in front of goal, scoring 63 goals in the league. Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram have been a lethal duo, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu also contributing key goals from midfield. Inter have found the net in each of their last seven games in all competitions, including crucial goals against Monza and Feyenoord.

However, Inter’s away form has been less than convincing. They are winless in their last four Serie A away matches (D2, L2), scoring only twice in that period. Despite this, their ability to produce goals in high-stakes games—such as their 2-1 win over Feyenoord—suggests they can break down Atalanta’s defense.

Atalanta vs Inter – Head-to-Head Goal Trends

Historically, this fixture has been filled with goals. Inter have dominated the recent encounters, winning the last seven meetings, including a 4-0 triumph in the reverse fixture. Atalanta, however, are capable of responding, as evidenced by their 4-0 win over Juventus last week.

Key Players to Watch

Atalanta: Ademola Lookman has been in fine form, scoring in five consecutive games when he has found the net. Mateo Retegui remains a key goal threat, while Charles De Ketelaere provides creativity.

Inter Milan: Lautaro Martínez has scored six goals against Atalanta in the last five years. Marcus Thuram, who scored twice in the reverse fixture, has a habit of stepping up in big matches.

Inter Milan have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five away league matches, while Atalanta have recorded the most points from losing positions this season (W4, D3, L1), indicating their ability to find the net even when trailing.

Atalanta vs Inter – Final Verdict

Given both teams’ attacking firepower and defensive vulnerabilities, both teams scoring is highly probable. Inter will be motivated to end their away struggles, while Atalanta have been strong in attack but leaky at home. A high-scoring affair is likely, making Both Teams to Score (BTTS) a strong prediction for this fixture. If you find odd over 1.8 for this selection, just take it !
