Inter

Nerazzurri have a match to spare in the Italian championship after their meeting with Fiorentina a few weeks ago was not finished. Thus, the one point gap that Inter now have not only from Atalanta, but also from Napoli. That is, the reigning Italian champion at the end of the calendar year 2024 is potentially the leader of the current championship.

In the last round, the team once again confirmed their status as, perhaps, the main contender for the title in an away game against Cagliari. Inter had no problems at a traditionally difficult away for all Serie A giants. The Black and Blue controlled the course of the meeting, did not force events, but eventually sent into the opponent's goal three unanswered goals. 3:0 - Bastoni, Lautaro Martinez and Çalhanoglu scored (from the penalty spot). All the goals Inter scored in the second half.

Recall that the Nerazzurri won last season and the Super Cup of the country. The mini-tournament was also held in Saudi Arabia. In the semifinals, Inter confidently beat Lazio - 3:0, and the final was stronger than Napoli - 1:0.

Atalanta

Bergamaski at the end of 18 rounds of the Italian championship led the standings. However, the team is ahead of Napoli only by additional indicators, and Inter, we repeat, and inferior to the lost points. Also note that Atalanta is no longer the best offense of the season. Bergamo have scored 43 goals in 18 games, while Inter have scored 45 in 17.

In the last game, Atalanta failed to beat Lazio away. Moreover, the Bergamaschi barely escaped defeat. After conceding in the 27th minute and failing in the first half, Gasperini's men equalized the situation on the field in the second half, but got back only in the 88th minute. Marco Brescianini, who came on as a substitute, scored 1:1.

Atalanta did not take part in the draw last season, but, recall, achieved great success in the international arena, winning the Europa League. In the final, the club from Bergamo beat German Bayer 3:0.
