Although the two clubs are only separated by three points in Serie A, the difference in performance between Inter and Atalanta is currently much bigger than the point difference initially suggests. With regard to the expected course of the game, the associated statistics provide us with clear facts. Fans and football specialists should therefore assume a defensive-oriented game that will end up with a win for the hosts. Apart from AC Milan and Napoli, the team that has convinced the most so far is the same that won the Scudetto last season and that despite a change of coach and Lukaku's departure does not make them less dangerous this season. Inter has been able to maintain consistency of performance under new coach Simone Inzaghi because there were hardly any significant changes in the defensive network compared to the previous year. The Nerazzurri have also impressively bounced back after the recent 2-2 draw against Sampdoria with outstanding victories over Bologna 6-1 and Fiorentina 3-1.
