Serie A, it’s Inter-Atalanta day: the first big match

Inzaghi can count on the full squad, Gasperini will find Lookman again after the well-known events

The Serie A comes to life and is ready to give herself the first big match of the 2024/25 season. The weekend of the third day, full of important events, opens with Inter-Atalantasecond Friday preview and first direct clash of this year, a challenge that promises to be a spectacle. On one hand Simone Inzaghiwhich with the Captain Lautaro Martinez returnsprobably during the match, will have a full squad (with the exception of the long-term absentee Buchanan); on the other hand Gian Piero Gasperiniwhich he will find again Ademola Lookman (also initially on the bench) after the well-known transfer market events, but he will have to continue to do without Nicholas Zanioloa “bet that has so far been lost”, to put it in the words of words from the Bergamo coach.

Inter comes to the San Siro challenge after the convincing success over Lecce registered Darmian-Calhanoglu who immediately remedied the misstep against Genoa on the first day and Inzaghi does not seem to be inclined to make any changes. Lautaro, as mentioned, should sit on the bench and with him also the other returning from physical problems, The FreeThe attacking pair will still be formed by Thuram e Taremithe latter chasing his first official goal in the Nerazzurri shirt. For the rest, few doubts: Pavard in defense, Darmian wide right and the usual ballot Frattesi-Mkhitaryan to complete the central department. A year ago the Nerazzurri of Milan beat those of Bergamo 4-0, the goal is of course to repeat and go to the break with a good boost of confidence in the body.

L’Atalantafor his part, after a roaring start had an unexpected flop in Turin and arrives at what will be his third away match in a row eager to show the true face of the Goddess. Even for Gasp, in reality, the doubts about the formation are very few: the new arrival Bellanova can undermine Zappacosta for the role of right back, as well as Samardzic could worry Brescianini for a place in the three-quarter line alongside The Ketelaere. Untouchable, of course, Matthew Reteguithree goals in the first two games and already top scorer in Serie A. The Italian will have the task of keeping the Inter defence busy and facilitating the insertions of the two offensive jokers, as well as collecting the crosses that arrive from the back.

As fascinating and full of food for thought as it may be, a match like this will hardly be able to shift the balance of the championship on the third day, just as it will not be able to do so Lazio – Milan e Juve-Romascheduled for Saturday and Sunday at 20.45 respectively. This does not change the fact that both teams will take to the field for the three points, to put pressure on their rivals and to ensure that they have the most peaceful international break possible. All this while waiting to get involved in the new Champions Leagueof which they have recently discovered the future opponents. So, here we are: the longest season ever is really about to ignite.
