First semi-final of the Italian Super Cup in Riyadh between the Italian Champions and the finalists of the last edition of the Italian Cup: Simone seeks another record
In Riyadh, Arabia, the first semi-final of the Supercoppa Italia between Inter, winners of the last championship, and Atalanta, finalists beaten by Juve in the last act of the Italian Cup: a match that promises to be full of pitfalls for the team by Simone Inzaghi who won the last three editions of the event on the Nerazzurri bench. Let’s find out the prediction and odds for Inter-Atalanta scheduled for Thursday 2 January at 8pm.
INTER-ATALANTA PREDICTION ODDS
—
Inter and Atalanta, with Napoli, have been fighting for the top of the Serie A championship table since the start of the season: the Nerazzurri lagged behind their rivals due to the immediate suspension of the match against Fiorentina due to Edoardo Bove’s illness and therefore potentially virtual leader. Now the two teams face each other in the Super Cup in a ninety-minute match plus possible penalties in the event of a draw: at stake is access to the grand final scheduled for 6 January against the winner of the second semi-final between Juventus and Sergio Conceicao’s new Milan .
Inzaghi has a record that can still be improved: he has won five Super Cup titles, two on the Lazio bench (2017 and 2019) and three on the Inter bench (2021, 2022, 2023) and is aiming for the sixth which would also be the fourth in a row with the Nerazzurri . It is probable that in this match between two very offensive teams there will be at least one goal: the Over 0.5 hypothesis is offered at 1.04 on Netbet, 1.03 on Sisal and 1.01 on Better Lottomatica and Snai. The increased quota proposed by Snai focuses precisely on this event, which for all new members raises the Over 0.5 result to 8.00.
INTER, GASP’S TABOO
—
Atalanta and in particular Gasperini will face a taboo that is becoming a nightmare: in the last eight matches against Inter they have only achieved two draws and there have been six defeats, which among other things have occurred in the last six consecutive matches. Inzaghi, therefore, has a 6-0 run against his rival: frightening precedents but we know that during a dry semi-final anything can happen and even a single episode can decide the match. Gasperini will have to give up his centre-forwards, Retegui and Scamacca, who are injured but as he did in the last match of the championship in Rome against Lazio he can exploit the insertions of Lookman and the speed of De Ketelaere in the position of false new. The streak of 11 consecutive victories that had pushed Atalanta to the top of the championship was interrupted at the Olimpico.
THE QUOTES
—
Although the two most offensive teams of the last six months are facing each other (45 goals for Inter, 43 for Atalanta), the Under 2.5s cannot be excluded in this particular match: tactics rather than play could emerge with the final up for grabs in just ninety minutes. Hypothesis worth 2.00 odds on Snai and Better Lottomatica, 1.95 on NetBet and 1.90 on Sisal.
