Inter Milan vs Atalanta Prediction: Nerazzurri can book final spot

Riyadh in Saudi Arabia plays host to the Supercoppa Italiana this season and the event gets underway with a cracker when Inter Milan take on Atalanta in the first semi-final at the King Saud University Stadium on Thursday (19:00 KO).

Read on for my Inter Milan vs Atalanta predictions, including the latest odds and team news.

Inter Milan vs Atalanta Odds

Inter are 19/20 shots to win this match in 90 minutes, while an Atalanta win is 12/5 and the draw is 23/10.

Inter are 4/7 to lift the trophy, either by winning in normal time or on penalties, and Atalanta are 5/4.

Team News

Benjamin Pavard and Francesco Acerbi are missing at the back for Inter, although they will welcome back Matteo Darmian.

Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez are expected to lead the attack.

Juan Cuadrado is unavailable for Atalanta and will not feature against his former club, while Gianluca Scamacca and Mateo Retegui are sidelined.

Inter Milan to win @ 1/1

This looks like a seriously competitive semi-final at first glance but Inter have both form and experience on their side and should win in 90 minutes.

Inter finished 2024 with four successive wins, scoring 13 goals and conceding none, and they won this trophy last season, beating Napoli in the final, whereas Atalanta were not even involved.

Simone Inzaghi knows how to gear his side up for these kinds of matches, having claimed nine trophies in his managerial career, and Inter continue to fire on all fronts this term.

Atalanta are dangerous opponents but they are blunted up top by the absence of Retegui and Inter can capitalise by winning this semi-final, building on their 4-0 triumph over La Dea earlier this season.

Over 2.5 goals @ 4/5

Inter have managed to keep the back door shut recently, finishing last year with clean sheets against Lazio, Udinese, Como and Cagliari.

But even without Retegui and Scamacca, who are both unavailable, Atalanta could breach their opponents and contribute to a high-scoring match.

Gian Piero Gasperini's side remain one of the most exciting teams to watch across the continent and four of their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

That run featured high-profile matches against AC Milan and Real Madrid and they are not afraid to throw men forward, even when the stakes are high.
