Atalanta and Inter Milan go head-to-head at the Gewiss Stadium in a massive Serie A top-four six-pointer.
Atalanta have enjoyed a stunning start to the new calendar year, winning both competitive games by an aggregate score of 8-2 to put their preceding two-game winless Serie A run firmly behind (D1, L1). But back to the Gewiss Stadium, where they’ve returned fewer league points than any other top-eight side this season (12), may not be as encouraging as it may appear at first glance. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have also registered only 41% of their total Serie A goals scored this season in Bergamo (18/44). That said, delivering action from the get-go, 56% of Atalanta’s home league matches this season have seen the opener netted inside the first 15 minutes of play (5/9). What’s more, a league-high 67% of their Serie A home outings have featured 2+ first-half goals (6/9).
In the meantime, Inter Milan have picked up where they left off in 2021, beating Lazio 2-1 at home in their inaugural 2022 Serie A fixture to make it eight league wins in a row. Coming into this matchday, ‘I Nerazzurri’ defeated bitter rivals Juventus 2-1 in extra time to lift their first Supercoppa Italiana title in over a decade, further adding to their confidence. Alongside perennial Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, the reigning Serie A holders remain the only side across Europe’s top-five leagues to have found the net in every league match this season, tallying a league-high 51 goals in the process. Additionally, Inter could become only the second-ever Serie A side to score in 40 top-flight games on the trot if they get on the scoresheet here. That’s likely to happen, considering Inter have only failed to score once in Bergamo since 1992.
