Yes, the history data is strongly supporting Inter Milan here, but the Atalanta of today is better than ever before! These two have been clearly the best performances this season in Serie A, especially after the poor start of Atalanta. The odds for a win for either side look short, so let us take a draw!
A look at the xG-table in Serie A, but remember that this a cup match, on neutral ground in Saudi Arabia!
So we can see that Atalanta have lost so far 3 times v Italian opponents. All of those happened in the first 5 rounds, and the last one dates back to September 24th!
On the other hand, Inter have lost once. It was on the same round, in the Milano derby back in September. These two teams are hard to beat!
Inter Milan, led by Simone Inzaghi, went to Saudi Arabia to claim their third consecutive Supercoppa title in a five-game winning streak, specifically in Serie A. In their country's top league, they currently hold third place, one point behind Atalanta and Napoli, although they have played one game less than the top two.
In the long run, or in this case, during the year that has just ended, Inter has played a total of 38 league games, winning a modest 27 of them and losing only twice.
Inter team news:
Back-up goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro is unavailable due to a finger injury. The defensive line, meanwhile, is currently without Francesco Acerbi and Benjamin Pavard, who have hamstring problems, and Matteo Darmian, who has a knee injury.
Possible starting line-up for the Nerazzurri (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, de Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Serie A leaders Atalanta were beaten by Lazio in their previous match after winning 11 consecutive league games, but managed to snatch a 1-1 draw away from home at the Stadio Olimpico with Marco Bresciani's last-minute equalizer. Napoli, the Scudetto winners from last season, remain tied on points with the Bergamo club in the top two.
La Dea, who won the Europa League last season, has also had an excellent season in the European arena, where the Bergamo team went undefeated in their first five games in the Champions League with a score of 3-2-0, until they were defeated 2-3 by Real Madrid, in a match with not much on stake for Atalanta, but a lot more for Real.
In 2024, Gasperini's team made club history in both categories. Never before had Atalanta managed to win 26 games in the same calendar year. Nor had they scored as many as 127 goals in the same year. So, they definitely are better than ever before. For years they were a team that was fun to follow, now also the results are excellent.
Atalanta team news:
Midfielders Juan Cuadrado and Matteo Ruggeri, who are suffering from thigh and toe injuries, as well as forwards Mateo Retegui with a thigh problem and Gianluca Scamacca with a knee problem are out.
Atalanta (3-4-2-1) possible starting lineup: Carnesecchi; Kossounou, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, de Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Samardzic, Lookman; De Ketelaere.
They are not as big names as individuals, but as a collective Atalanta are one of the best in world. Take a special look at Lookman how can score whenever he wants.
Both have super tight defenses but can also score, this is "only" super cup match and I doubt a bit the motivation of both teams, so this could actually be rather fun and free-flowing match, which both happily end with a penalty shootout!
Good luck friends, and a happy new (European) year!

是的，历史数据在这里强烈支持国际米兰，但今天的亚特兰大比以往任何时候都更好！这两位显然是本赛季意甲联赛中表现最好的球员，尤其是在亚特兰大糟糕的开局之后。双方获胜的机会都不大，所以让我们打平吧！
看看意甲的xg表，但记住这是一场杯赛，在沙特阿拉伯的中立场地上！
所以我们可以看到亚特兰大到目前为止对意大利对手输了3次。所有这些都发生在前五轮，最后一轮可以追溯到9月24日！
另一方面，国米只输过一次。那是在同一轮，在九月的米兰德比中。这两个队很难打败！
在西蒙尼•因扎吉（Simone Inzaghi）的带领下，国际米兰（international Milan）前往沙特阿拉伯，以五连胜的方式连续第三次夺得超级杯冠军，特别是在意甲联赛中。在意大利的顶级联赛中，他们目前排名第三，落后亚特兰大和那不勒斯一分，尽管他们比前两名少踢了一场比赛。
从长远来看，或者在这个例子中，在刚刚结束的一年里，国米总共打了38场联赛，赢了27场，只输了2场。
国米新闻：
替补门将迪热纳罗由于手指受伤无法上场。与此同时，后防线目前没有弗朗西斯科·阿克尔比和本杰明·帕瓦德，他们都有腿筋问题，还有马特奥·达米安，他膝伤。
蓝黑军团可能的首发阵容（3-5-2）：萨默；比塞克，德弗瑞，巴斯托尼；邓弗里斯、巴雷拉、卡尔汉奥卢、姆希塔良、迪马科；马丁内斯,图拉姆。
加斯佩里尼率领的意甲领头羊亚特兰大在上一场比赛中被拉齐奥击败，此前他们在联赛中取得了11连胜，但在主场奥林匹克球场，凭借布雷西亚尼在最后时刻的进球，亚特兰大取得了1-1的平局。上赛季的意甲冠军那不勒斯与贝加莫俱乐部在积分上并列前两名。
上赛季赢得欧联杯冠军的拉迪亚在欧洲赛场上也有出色的表现，贝加莫队在欧冠的前五场比赛中以3-2-3 -0的比分保持不败，直到他们被皇家马德里以2-3击败，这场比赛对亚特兰大来说没有多大的利害关系，但对皇家马德里来说更重要。
2024年，加斯佩里尼的球队在这两个项目上都创造了俱乐部历史。亚特兰大从来没有在同一日历年内赢得26场比赛。同年，他们也没有打进多达127个进球。所以，它们绝对比以往任何时候都好。多年来，他们一直是一支有趣的球队，现在他们的成绩也很好。
亚特兰大队新闻：
中场球员胡安·瓜德拉多和马特奥·鲁杰里大腿和脚趾受伤，前锋马特奥·雷特吉大腿受伤，吉安卢卡·斯卡马卡膝盖受伤。
亚特兰大（3-4-2-1）可能的首发阵容：卡尔内塞基；科索诺、海恩、科拉西纳茨；Bellanova, de Roon, edson, Zappacosta；岗,Lookman;De Ketelaere。
他们并不像个人那样有名，但作为一个集体，亚特兰大是世界上最好的球队之一。让我们来看看“望客”是如何在他想得分的时候得分的。
这是一场“唯一”的超级杯比赛，我有点怀疑两支球队的动力，所以这实际上可能是一场相当有趣和自由的比赛，双方都以点球大战结束！
祝朋友们好运，新年快乐！
