Inter Milan are set to play Atalanta on Tuesday in the quarter-final of the Coppa Italia at San Siro.
Inter Milan come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Davide Ballardini's Cremonese in the league. A brace from Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez secured the win for Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan. Nigerian striker David Okereke scored the consolation goal for Cremonese.
Atalanta, on the other hand, beat Dejan Stankovic's Sampdoria 2-0 in the league. Goals from Danish full-back Joakim Maehle and Nigeria international Ademola Lookman sealed the deal for Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta.

Inter Milan vs Atalanta Prediction
Inter Milan are currently 2nd in the league, 10 points behind league leaders Napoli, who have played a game less. As things stand, the league title is Napoli's to lose, and Simone Inzaghi's best hope of winning a trophy this season will be progressing in the Coppa Italia.
It has been reported that Slovakian centre-back Milan Skriniar has agreed to move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and it is also likely that the 27-year old will move to Paris in January if the clubs are able to agree on a fee. Considering Skriniar's importance to Inter Milan's defence, it will be interesting to see how the club plans to replace him.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are 3rd in the league, two points behind Inter Milan. Atalanta's famed academy has once again produced a gem; young centre-back Giorgio Scalvini has emerged as one of the most promising young Italian footballers, and the 19-year old has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and Inter Milan after some excellent performances.
Alongside Scalvini, Teun Koopmeiners, Ademola Lookman and Rasmus Hjoland are all enjoying good seasons; in Koopmeiners and Lookman's cases, it is highly likely that Atalanta will be fielding calls this summer.
