Correct score prediction: Atalanta 0-2 Inter Milan
Although Atalanta have won three games in a row, they are up against an Inter Milan side that won 10 of their last 12 Serie A matches.
The Nerazzurri also have an excellent track record against Inter Milan, as they won eight consecutive clashes between these teams and did not concede a single goal in their last four encounters.
Interestingly, Inter won the last two H2Hs by the same 2-0 scoreline.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Atalanta up against it

- AWAY: 1/1 (2.00) – 50%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Atalanta needed a stoppage-time goal to defeat Genoa last weekend, even though they practically played the entire match with a one-man advantage.
Raffaele Palladino’s troops are now on a three-game winning streak and have six wins in their last seven matches across all competitions.
On the other hand, Inter Milan were eliminated from the Italian Super Cup by Bologna last time out. Cristian Chivu’s men have been almost unstoppable in Serie A, however, winning 10 of their last 12 league matches.
Ahead of this clash, Inter are leading the Italian top flight standings, while Atalanta are ninth, having won only five of their 16 league matches.
On that note, Inter Milan are the expected winners at 1/1 (2.00). Teams with these odds usually have a 50% probability of winning.

Also, keeping in mind that Inter Milan did not concede a single goal in their last four clashes with Atalanta, under 0.5 Atalanta goals has an appealing look at 6/5 (2.20). That one has a 45.5% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: Business as usual for Inter?
It is safe to say that Atalanta do not particularly look forward to meeting Inter. The hosts have not scored a single goal in the last four H2H, they have lost eight consecutive meetings between these sides and are without a win in their last 15 encounters.
