Atalanta vs Inter predictionsInter were unable to add another trophy to their cabinet before Christmas, as they suffered defeat by Bologna in the semi-finals of the Supercoppa Italiana.That mini-tournament was eventually won by Napoli, who beat Bologna in the final following success against Milan in the semis. All four teams will return to Serie A action this weekend in the final round of fixtures before the turn of the year. Despite missing last weekend’s league games, Inter are still at the summit of the standings. Their lead is slender, however. Indeed, Serie A remains remarkably tight at the top.Inter are first on 33 points, followed by Milan on 32, Napoli on 31, Roma on 30 and Juventus on 29. Those European football fans seeking a multi-pronged title race should look no further than Italy’s top tier.The bookies favour Inter, who are odds-on favourites with most providers. Milan are rated as the second-likeliest champions, followed by the holders Napoli. Juventus and Roma, interestingly, are relative outsiders at odds of 25/1 and 33/1 respectively. The underlying data supports Inter’s status as favourites, at least in terms of performances so far. They have by far the best expected goals difference in the division, which indicates they have been the most dominant side in Italy up to now.Inter have been an all-or-nothing team up to now. They have not drawn a single league game in 2025/26, with 11 wins and four defeats. Six of their last seven matches have ended with the Nerazzurri victorious, as have nine of their last 11 outings.One mark against Cristian Chivu’s team is their record in head-to-head clashes with fellow title contenders. Three of their four losses this season have come at the hands of Juventus, Napoli and Milan, all of whom are within touching distance of the league leaders.Inter have been pretty reliable against the rest of the division, though, winning 10 out of 11 games against sides currently outside the top five. They will be looking to maintain that strong record when they face Atalanta this weekend.The Bergamo-based outfit have won three of their last four games in Serie A, as well as four of their last five in the Champions League. They are in excellent form, so Inter should not expect to have everything their own way on Sunday.Atalanta vs Inter betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.Atalanta vs Inter betting tipsInter will resume their Serie A title charge when they do battle with Atalanta on Sunday.Inter to march onInter have had nine days to prepare for this match and that should work to their advantage. Atalanta have been much improved of late, with Raffaele Palladino having now got his ideas across to his squad following his appointment at the New Balance Arena on November 11.Atalanta will pose Inter problems, but at their best the Nerazzurri are probably the best team in Italy. Their goal difference of +20 is by far and away the highest in the league, and evidence that Inter are the team to beat in the title race.Chivu’s charges can get the job done in their final fixture of the calendar year. Back Inter to win at 21/20 with Tote Low-scoring game beckonsInter’s 15 games up to now have averaged 3.2 goals per game, the highest figure in Serie A.That, together with the fact Atalanta’s attack has been more effective under Palladino, means it might seem strange that we are predicting a low-scoring affair.It is worth noting, though, that this particular bet has paid out in five of Inter’s last nine matches in all competitions.Chivu, a former defender, knows that shutting down Atalanta’s attack will be key to his team’s chances of victory.This will be an engaging game, but not necessarily one that features numerous goals. Choose under 2.5 goals at 21/20 with 247Bet Martinez finds his rhythmInter are reportedly poised to offer Lautaro Martinez a long-term contract extension as they aim to retain the Argentina international for the next few years.Martinez has been a fantastic player for Inter over the past few seasons and he remains an integral part of their squad.It is fair to say he has found his rhythm in recent weeks, with the 28-year-old finding the back of the net six times in his last nine appearances.Martinez will pose a threat to the Atalanta backline on Sunday and we are backing him to make an impact on this game. Go for Lautaro Martinez to score any time at 7/5 with Midnite Atalanta vs Inter predicted lineupsAtalanta expected lineup: Carnesecchi; De Roon, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Musah, Ederson, Bernasconi; De Ketelaere, Scamacca, Maldini.Inter expected lineup: Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Di Marco; Martinez, Thuram.
