Atalanta vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-27 19:45.
[p]Atalanta are finishing the year strongly, but they have a way to go to match Serie A title contenders Inter Milan, who have dominated this fixture in recent seasons.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Atalanta’s late-year surge has been impressive, with La Dea winning three of their last four Serie A matches (L1), as well as six of their last seven games in all competitions (L1), as they now have their sights on finishing 2025 in the top half. After being appointed in November, Raffaele Palladino has inspired an impressive turnaround, and he’s yet to see his side fail to score since taking the helm (W6, L2). Atalanta’s new-found scoring prowess has helped them net twice in each of their last home two league fixtures (W2) and moved them to the brink of securing three successive Serie A wins here for the first time in a little over a year.[/p]
[p]Inter Milan finished the last round with a slender lead at the top of Serie A, so they stand a good chance of ending 2025 as the team to beat in what continues to be an absorbing title race. Christian Chivu’s side have won their last three top-flight fixtures, which forms part of a wider run of ten wins from their last 12 league outings (L2), although they were beaten on penalties by Bologna in the Super Cup last Friday. Inter will be keen to quickly park that disappointment, as they return from Saudi Arabia on the back of three successive away league victories and with the joint-most pre-round Serie A away points to their name this term (15).[/p]

[p]Inter have won the last eight H2Hs, including each of the last four without conceding, and haven’t lost to Atalanta since November 2018 (W10, D5).[/p]
