Inter Milan are back in action with an important Serie A fixture this weekend as they take on Atalanta on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will need to step up in this match.

Atalanta are in fourth place in the Serie A standings and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. La Dea thrashed Udinese by a 6-2 margin last weekend and will want a similar performance in this fixture.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been excellent this season. The Nerazzurri defeated Juventus to win the Supercoppa Italiana in their previous game and will want another positive result this weekend.

Inter Milan have an impressive record against Atalanta and have won 12 out of 29 matches played between the two teams. Atalanta have managed six victories against Inter Milan and will need to improve their record in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two sides took place last year and ended in a 2-2 draw. Both teams were impressive on the day but will need to be more robust this weekend.

He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
