  • Stats before the game.  Inter have won only 1 of their last 6 matches against Atalanta in Serie A (4N, 1P), from 2018 onwards only against Roma have they not achieved any success in the league (6N).   After two consecutive home defeats against Atalanta in Serie A, Inter have remained unbeaten in their last 6 games against Atalanta at the Meazza in the league: four wins followed by two draws.  For the fourth time in the era of three points per win, Inter have scored at least 59 points in their first 25 Serie A games – on all three previous occasions they have then won the Scudetto at the end of the season (2006/07, 2007/08, 2008/09).  Inter have won all of their last nine home games in Serie A and have not done better since May 2011, when they reached 13.  The 49 points obtained by Atalanta after the first 25 games of this Serie A represent a record for Atalanta at this point of the season in the top flight – after 26 games they scored 51 points in 2016/17 and 2019/20.
    Atalanta have kept a clean sheet in their last three Serie A away games, only twice have they done better away from home in the top flight: in 1997 and 2016 (four in both cases).   Atalanta have scored at least three goals in 12 games: in the five major European leagues no team has done better this season (12 including PSG and Bayern Munich).  Eight assists for Inter’s Romelu Lukaku in this Serie A: record for him in a single season in the top-5 European championships.   Luis Muriel has scored five goals against Inter in Serie A, but none in three matches with Atalanta – since the beginning of 2021 only Inter Milan’s Romelu Lukaku (13: seven goals and six assists) has taken part in more goals than the Colombian in Serie A (12: eight goals and four winning passes).
