Atalanta vs Inter prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-11-03 17:00.
For the second time in Serie A (SA) history, three teams have accumulated at least seven clean sheets within the first ten rounds, and two of those ā Atalanta and Inter Milan – will face off this weekend. Thereāll be no shortage of additional context this weekend, as Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini faces off against his former employers knowing victory would give La Dea seven wins in the first 11 rounds of a top-flight campaign for only the third time in history.
After consecutive league wins āto nilā, they have a chance to make it three SA wins on the bounce for only the third time since the start of 2022. Thereās no place better to do so than at home either, as the Gewiss Stadium has yielded five wins for Atalanta across their last six SA games there (D1).
They will have to bypass some H2H history to achieve that, as Inter are unbeaten in nine SA meetings between the pair (W4, D5), and extending that to ten would equal their longest unbeaten streak against Atalanta which was recorded in the 1950s. Simone Inzaghiās men should travel with the confidence of being the league leaders after ten rounds, and another win here would be the fourth time in their top-flight history since 1994/95 that they accrue at least 28 points after 11 games.
Interās performances on the road have been outstanding, winning their last five SA away games without conceding a goal, meaning another victory of any magnitude would mark their longest winning sequence since November 2019. Doing so with a clean sheet would mean the Nerazzurri started a SA season with five consecutive away wins āto nilā for the first time since the 1966/67 campaign, a sequence that included a 5-0 victory at this venue!
Players to watch: Ademola Lookman scored Atalantaās opener in their last two home league wins, but his match opener in this fixture last season ended in a 3-2 defeat. Summer signing Marcus Thuram has been a revelation for Inter, contributing nine league goals (G4, A5). No player has been involved in more top-flight goals in the first ten games of an Inter season since 2004/05.
Hot stat: Seven of the last 13 Atalanta-held SA H2Hs ended in a draw.
