Both the teams will be looking to make it three consecutive wins in a row

Matchday 11 in the Serie A awaits a heavyweight clash between Atalanta and Inter Milan at the Gewiss Stadium. While La Dea are maintaining their form from last season and are charging for a fourth or higher finish this season, Inter sit comfortably at the top having lost only one game.
