Atalanta vs Inter Milan Prediction

Atalanta have arguably been the most exciting team to watch in Serie A this season. Under Gasperini, attackers like Gomez, Zapata and Luis Muriel have thrived, and goals have not been in shortage.

Inter Milan have also looked good in Antonio Conte's first season in charge. Romelu Lukaku has been their best performer, scoring consistently and fitting into Conte's system perfectly. The likes of Alexis Sanchez and Martinez have also shown good form, especially since the restart.
