Inter take on the visitors Atalanta in the quarterfinal match of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 31st at Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro – Milan).
Inter were able to take the hit in the form of financial problems and the departure of Conte. Perhaps Simone Inzaghi will never reach Antonio's coaching level, this is not the kind of mentor that is needed for a serious fight for the Scudetto. But with him, the club is quite well kept among the leaders of Italian football. And continues to take titles. How famously it turned out to defend the status of the winner of the Super Cup - they beat Milan in the derby. In Serie A, however, the results are unstable - having inflicted the first defeat of Napoli in the entire draw, then they managed to lose to Empoli, after Shkriniar received the 2nd “yellow” already in the 40th minute. Cremonese was allowed to open the score, but this outsider was defeated 2-1. However, in any case, now the team clearly shows that the decline in the beginning of the season, with 4 defeats in 6 matches, has long been overcome. And this is if you do not remember the Champions League, where Xavi's Barcelona was sent to 3rd place! Now Nerazzurri want to prove themselves in Coppa Italia, as they defend the title.

Atalanta spend this season through the prism of the previous one - and those that came before it. Gasperini made a modest, albeit original, team from the suburbs of Milan a real contender, albeit not particularly rich, but at the same time consistently among the best in Serie A (constantly finishing in 3rd place) and playing in the Champions League playoffs. And suddenly there was a resounding failure of the last cycle, when they not only lost their positions, but collapsed outside the European Cup zone. Now Gian Piero wants to prove that he has overcome a one-time decline, and skeptics believe that the Goddess has passed a long-term peak. So far, it's hard to say how it will end. After a strong start with 10 rounds without defeat, the decline began, with 4 defeats in 5 rounds after the break. But the pause turned out to be useful for this team: it turns out, if not to win, then at least draw the meetings, as with Spezia, with which they fought back from 0-2, or in Turin with Juventus, where by common efforts they gave out a spectacular 3-3. After that, it turned out to take confident 2-0 victory over Sampdoria.
Nerazzurri have not lost for 8 head-to-head matches in a row. In particular, they won 3-2 in Bergamo in November. Bookmakers consider Inter to be the favorite of this meeting, which plays at home. But this couple is worthy of each other, and it is unlikely that someone will be head and shoulders stronger. We are waiting for a rather stubborn fight with the final “total under 3.0 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
