The Serie A has a great midweek spectacle featuring two of the best teams in the league at the moment: Inter and Atalanta. In the other match, we’ll have a duel between struggling teams: Napoli and Sassuolo.
The Nerazurro comes from having a walk in the park against Lecce in Via del Mare, with another excellent display by Lautaro with a double.
La Dea barely survived against Inter’s local rivals in a game where they were pretty poor, but a dubious penalty saved them from their first defeat in many weeks.

Why bet on Inter Milan?
Inter only needs to maintain the pace for a little more to seal the title, as they have a comfortable lead at the top, and all their followers have been unremarkable as of late, to say the least. However, they’ll now face one of the biggest challenges for this Serie A season, as Atalanta has been amazing this calendar year.
The Nerazurri haven’t lost points by the league since December 29, when they got a draw with Genoa. Since then, they have seven wins in a row including triumphs over teams like Juventus and Roma.
They also come from beating Atleti in the Champions League, so this start of the year couldn’t have been better for the Milanese.
Why bet on Atalanta?
La Dea suffered a lot to get a point at San Siro. However, luck is not on their side, as they have to visit the same ground again, just some days after, and against a better team. They don’t have the chance to regain some momentum, so mentality will be crucial to evade a disaster.
They had six wins in a row before their weekend match and the best momentum inside the top of the table outside Inter. They don’t have real chances to fight for the title, but a win here would be a remarkable achievement for a project that, after some years without qualifying for the Champions League, started falling into obscurity for many.Â
They have to show a better face this time and have the weapons to do so in names like Lookman and De Ketelaere.
Final Betting Analysis:Â Inter vs. Atalanta
Inter has five wins in the last eight matches against Atalanta, going back to 2020. The rest of the matches were drawn, so it’s clear that La Dea has not had a good time against their fellow Nerazurri rivals. In that amount of time, the now locals got 13 goals, while the visitors just managed to score 8 times.
Even if there is great paternity by one team, both clubs tend to offer excellent games when they face, so we do not doubt this will be the case. However, they have solid defenses and a similar approach, at least in the scheme with a 5-3-2, so we don’t expect a rain of goals. We believe a 2-1 in favor of Inter will be the final result.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.699. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $69.9 for a total payout of $169.9
