Key Players to Watch

Atalanta

• Mateo Retegui (FWD): 10 goals, 3 assists in Serie A; prolific striker leading the attack.

• Ademola Lookman (MID): 7 goals, 5 assists in Serie A; dynamic playmaker with flair.

• Marco Carnesecchi (GK): 7 clean sheets in Serie A; emerging talent in goal.

Inter

• Lautaro Martínez (FWD): 9 goals, 4 assists in Serie A; captain and clinical finisher.

• Hakan Çalhanoğlu (MID): 6 goals, 6 assists in Serie A; midfield maestro driving play.

• Yann Sommer (GK): 9 clean sheets in Serie A; steady presence between the posts.

Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Atalanta’s 3-4-2-1 (2.07 goals per game in Serie A) leverages Retegui’s finishing and Lookman’s creativity, likely holding 48% possession at home to exploit Inter’s defense (0.79 goals conceded per game) with high pressing and width. Injuries to Giorgio Scalvini (shoulder) and Odilon Kossounou (knee) persist, but Sead Kolašinac anchors the backline. Inter’s 3-5-2 (1.96 goals per game in Serie A) relies on Martínez’s poaching and Çalhanoğlu’s vision, aiming for 52% possession to control the tempo, with Federico Dimarco doubtful (knee). The 23,000 fans at Gewiss Stadium will rally Atalanta, suggesting a tight, high-intensity clash where Inter’s H2H dominance could be tested by Atalanta’s attacking form.
