Inter Milan Aims to Extend Seven-Point Lead Over Atalanta

Inter Milan will host Atalanta in a Serie A Matchday 29 fixture on March 14 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium in Milan. Gianluca Manganiello will officiate the match.

The hosts currently lead the league standings with 67 points, holding a seven-point advantage over their closest competitor in second place. Atalanta sits seventh with 46 points. Both teams have played 28 matches.

Inter's recent form shows two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five outings, while Atalanta has recorded one win, two draws, and two losses over the same period. Historically, Inter holds a superior record with 16 wins compared to Atalanta's 5 victories, alongside 10 draws. Their last encounter in Serie A, in December, saw Inter secure a 1-0 win.

Inter Milan is expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, featuring Yann Sommer and Manuel Akanji, with Marcus Thuram leading the attack. Alessandro Bastoni, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and Lautaro Martínez are likely to be absent due to injury.

Atalanta's probable starting XI could include Marco Carnesecchi, Giorgio Scalvini, and Gianluca Scamacca, playing in a 3-4-2-1 system. Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori are unavailable until late March, and Ederson is also sidelined due to injury.
