It’s hard to call who will come out on top in these Atalanta vs. Inter predictions on the final day of Serie A action before the winter break. There is very little to separate the two sides with 14 matches played – and three points could decide which team is in the top six ahead of the World Cup.
Atalanta vs. Inter odds
1 – A draw at full-time – 11/4
2 – Inter to win by one goal – 10/3
3 – Ademola Lookman to score anytime – 3/1
4 – Both teams to score – 4/7
5 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 7/10
Inter travel to face Atalanta on Sunday hoping to end 2022 on a positive note following a largely disappointing start to their season. The Nerazzurri have spent much of the campaign outside the upper echelons of the Serie A standings but will be very much aware that a win could catapult them up the table.
For Atalanta however, the first few months of the season have been far better than imagined. An unbeaten run for the first eight weeks saw La Dea sit top of the league for a number of weeks, with only Napoli able to out-do their point tally over 14 games.
The Partenopei inflicted further misery on Gian Piero Gasperini’s side last weekend, inflicting their second defeat in three Serie A matches. Struggles against the very best opponents have long been an issue for Atalanta and they will be wary of their opponents on Sunday.
With little separating the two sides over the past three months, a safe bet would be on a draw come 90 minutes this weekend. That having been said, Atalanta are without a win against Inter in any of their last six games, so a higher stakes wager on the visitors to win by one could well pay off.
A leaky Inter defence could however work to the La Dea’s advantage, with the Nerazzurri conceding twice in consecutive games. With Ademola Lookman currently on a run of five goals in his last seven games, the Englishman is our tip to score anytime.
Inter’s front line has bailed them out on a number of occasions already this season and at an average of just under two goals per game, a high scoring fixture could be expected on Sunday. A bet on both teams to score over 2.5 goals in the game could very well pay dividends.
