Battling it out for a place in the Supercoppa Italiana final. Lombardy rivals Inter Milan and Atalanta BC will meet in the unfamiliar surrounds of Saudi Arabia on Thursday evening.
Inter Milan:
Inter Milan are brimming with confidence as they head into Thursday's Supercoppa Italiana semi-final, riding a wave of five consecutive Serie A victories. The Nerazzurri are not only defending the Supercoppa they won in dramatic fashion last year, but they are also in contention for the Scudetto and a quadruple this season. With Lautaro Martinez in fine form and a solid collective performance, Inter have shown their offensive prowess, averaging over three goals per game in their recent matches. Coach Simone Inzaghi's tactical acumen and hunger for trophies have led the team to a strong position in both domestic and European competitions. Inter's dominance over Atalanta in their recent 4-0 win in August highlights their ability to handle the Bergamaschi, though the semi-final promises to be a much closer contest.
Atalanta:
Atalanta head into this semi-final with one of their best-ever seasons to date, leading Serie A by a single point. Despite a narrow 1-1 draw with Lazio on the final day of 2024, Gian Piero Gasperini's men have been in scintillating form, with 36 wins and a record-breaking 127 goals scored in 2024 alone. Their unbeaten run of 13 league matches shows the incredible consistency they've maintained, and with a growing reputation as one of Italy's top sides, they are full of confidence heading into the tournament. While Inter triumphed 4-0 in their previous encounter, Atalanta are no longer the underdogs they once were, and their attacking intensity and resilience will make them a tough opponent. Victory here would put them one step closer to another final, with Juventus or AC Milan potentially waiting in the final.
