Inter Milan vs Atalanta – Betting Preview
Tuesday’s quarterfinal Coppa Italia match between Inter Milan and Atalanta is scheduled to take place at San Siro!
Inter Milan Preview
Inter Milan enters this match after defeating Davide Ballardini’s Cremonese 2-1 in league play. For Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, a brace from Argentine attacker Lautaro Martinez sealed the victory.
Cremonese’s consolation goal was scored by Nigerian striker David Okereke!
Inter Milan are now in second place in the league, 13 points adrift of Napoli, who have played one fewer game. Currently, Simone Inzaghi’s best chance of winning a trophy this season will be advancing in the Coppa Italia. However, Serie A championship is Napoli’s to lose.
According to reports, Milan Skriniar, a centre back from Slovakia, has agreed to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The 27-year-old is also set to relocate to Paris in January provided the clubs can agree on a transfer cost.
It will be intriguing to watch how Inter Milan plans to replace Skriniar given how crucial he is to their defence.
Atalanta Preview
On the other side, Atalanta defeated Sampdoria in a league match by a score of 2-0. Atalanta of Gian Piero Gasperini won thanks to goals from Nigerian Ademola Lookman and Danish fullback Joakim Maehle.
Atalanta is currently third in the league, two points behind Inter Milan. Giorgio Scalvini, a young centre back, has emerged as one of the most promising young Italian footballers, and the 19-year-old has been connected with Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, and Inter Milan after some outstanding performances. Atalanta’s renowned academy has once again created a gem.
Along with Scalvini, Teun Koopmeiners, Ademola Lookman, and Rasmus Hjoland are all having successful seasons; in the cases of Koopmeiners and Lookman, it is very possible that Atalanta will be taking phone calls this summer!
