Atalanta
Atalanta haven't won the Italy Super Coppa trophy in history, but they made a breakthrough by winning the first UEFA Europa League in team history in May, so the team will surely want to have a breakthrough performance in the Italy Super Coppa.
Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman, who has scored 9 league goals this season, has also been active up front and the team will need to rely on his performance in attack.
Atalanta drew against the giants Lazio 1-1 in the last league game away from home. They kept unbeaten in the last 4 games with 3 wins and 1 draw, showing remarkable performances overall.
Atalanta achieved 7 consecutive away wins among all events, including tough rivals like AS Roma and Napoli, so they should not be underestimated in away games.
Inter Milan's center-backs Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, Benjamin Pavard and goalkeeper Raffaele Di Gennaro are all out with injuries. They are shorthanded at the back.
Atalanta's top forward Mateo Retegui has scored 12 league goals (including 2 penalties) this season, but he missed the last league game due to a thigh injury, and is unavailable for this crucial battle as well, giving a huge blow to their offensive end.
Atalanta's another forward Gianluca Scamacca missed many games due to the knee injury, and he is also unavailable for this game.
Atalanta conceded goals in the last 3 consecutive games, and even conceded 2 goals against Empoli FC, the team below the middle of the table, which reveals their problems at the back.
Tips
The Italy Super Coppa semifinals will see two title contenders in Serie A.
Inter Milan are in better form recently. The striking partnership of Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez has been devastating in Serie A.
Besides, the team kept clean sheets in a row, with top performances on both ends.
Atalanta are leading in the Serie A table, but Mateo Retegui's absence still has a big impact, and there are many problems at the back end.
The offensive and defensive ends are both worrying, so we believe Inter Milan to win this battle.
