Inter take on the visitors Atalanta in the round 3 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, August 30th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro - Milan).
A year ago, Inter Milan underwent a significant squad overhaul, mainly due to forced sales like André Onana’s departure and the farewell of veteran players, including Edin Džeko. However, Simone Inzaghi managed to extract the maximum from the new lineup. While not everything went as planned in the Champions League, and the reigning cup holders were eliminated earlier than expected, these setbacks were more than compensated for by a highly convincing and solid Scudetto win. But as always, staying at the top is harder than getting there. Especially now, with the change in ownership (more accurately, the financial troubles of the Chinese investor who had to give up the club), the only notable signings were Zielinski and Taremi, while money was spent on Josep Martínez. But why bring in a Spanish goalkeeper from Genoa when Sommer is already there? Incidentally, Yann Sommer started in the first round, against Genoa, where Inter let victory slip away with a last-minute 2-2 equalizer. However, they bounced back with a solid, truly champion-like 2-0 win over Lecce.

Atalanta has long been playing under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini. He brought the team into the elite of Italian football, making them regulars in the Champions League, but then they experienced a downturn. However, the management believed in Gasperini even when he couldn’t quickly restore the team to its former level. This trust paid off last season, as Atalanta finished in the top four of Serie A. But most importantly, they won the Europa League, where they defeated Bayer Leverkusen decisively in the final—Leverkusen’s only loss of the 2023/2024 season. However, there was a bitter moment: Atalanta lost the Coppa Italia final to a struggling Juventus. Additionally, they suffered a clear 0-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Super Cup after the summer break. Although they followed that with a 4-0 thrashing of Lecce, they then lost to Torino, despite a goal from new signing Mateo Retegui, who was brought in to replace the injured Gianluca Scamacca.
The Milan giants haven’t lost to their neighbors from Bergamo since 2018. In fact, Inter has won all of the last five meetings. The reigning champions are stronger, more consistent, and playing at home. We recommend betting on an Inter Milan victory.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win.
