Inter Milan have won 7 of their last 8 meetings, in all competitions, and remain on 4 major successes on the field of Lazio Rome (0-6), against Udinese (2-0) in the European Cup. Italy, ahead of promoted Como (2-0) and Cagliari (0-3) for the last match of the year 2024. With 22 goals scored in its last 8 outings, the Lombard club shows that he has regained all his offensive effectiveness.
The Nerazzurri have averaged 3.25 goals scored per game since mid-December.
Since its defeat against Real Madrid (2-3) in the Champions League on December 10, Atalanta Bergamo’s results have been a little more sluggish in Serie A where the surprising co-leader of Calcio painfully beat Cagliari (0 -1) on its island and Empoli (3-2) at the Gewiss Stadium before sharing the points in the capital with Lazio Rome (1-1) during the last day of Serie A. On the other hand, the Gasperini’s band did not show any feelings against the modest formation of Cesena (6-1) in the Italian Cup on December 18.
Inter Milan has 4 absences for this great showing in Saudi Arabia: Acerbi (thigh), Darmian (knee), Di Gennaro (finger) and Pavard (thigh) are out. The reigning Italian Champion will be able to count on his midfielder Nicolo Barella in excellent form with 1 goal in Rome against Lazio (0-6) and 2 assists in Cagliari (0-3) during the last 3 days of the Serie A. Turkish international Hakan Calhanoglu, author of great performances this season, was decisive in each of the last 3 championship meetings in the capital against Lazio (1 goal and 1 assist), against Como (1 assist) then to Cagliari (1 goal). Lautaro Martinez, author of 7 goals and 2 assists this season, and Marcus Thuram, with his 13 goals and 3 goals, will be ones to watch closely.
Hard blow for Atalanta Bergamo who will be deprived of their best player Mateo Retegui.
The Italian striker, joint top scorer in Serie A this season with 12 goals, is suffering from a thigh injury. He will be accompanied to the infirmary by Ruggeri (toes) and Scamacca (knee). Author of 4 goals and 1 assist in his last 7 matches (Serie A + Champions League), Ademola Lookman (12 goals and 6 assists) should be the number 1 danger for the internal defense. The Belgian international, Charles De Ketelaere, is having a great season and already has 10 goals and 8 assists since the launch of this 2024-2025 financial year.
By crushing Atalanta Bergamo at Giuseppe Meazza (4-0) at the end of August in the league, Inter Milan signed a 6th victory in a row against the Dea. Undefeated against Atalanta since November 2018, i.e. for 6 years, the interior club will be in a strong position during this semi-final of the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. Triple winner of this competition (2022, 2023, 2024), the Lombard club will want to lift this trophy a 4th time in a row. Atalanta could pay a high price for the absence of Calcio’s top scorer, Mateo Retegui.
