Inter Milan take on Atalanta this weekend

Inter Milan are back in action with an important Serie A fixture this weekend as they take on Atalanta on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will need to step up in this match.

Atalanta are in fourth place in the Serie A standings and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. La Dea thrashed Udinese by a 6-2 margin last weekend and will want a similar performance in this fixture.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been excellent this season. The Nerazzurri defeated Juventus to win the Supercoppa Italiana in their previous game and will want another positive result this weekend.

Atalanta vs Inter Milan Prediction

Inter Milan have pulled off a stunning coup this season and are well on their way to another Serie A title. Alexis Sanchez fired the Nerazzurri to a Supercoppa Italiana triumph this week and could be rewarded with a start in this fixture.

Atalanta have been impressive yet again this season but will need to overcome periodic bouts of inconsistency. Inter Milan have been the better team so far and hold a slight upper hand this weekend.

Prediction: Atalanta 1-2 Inter Milan
