| The battle for the Super Cup in Italy is hotter than ever this year as Inter have the chance to win their fourth consecutive title in Riyadh. Another triumph would put them on a par with Juventus who have won the title nine times so far. Atalanta has something against it. The current leaders of Serie A want to finally reach the final of this competition. For both teams, it is not just about the trophy, but also about prestige and the opportunity to write club history. Inter comes to Riyadh with a lot of momentum. Four wins in a row without conceding a single goal show how stable Simone Inzaghi's team is at the moment. In fact, the Nerazzurri have only lost one of their last 18 games and that was against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League. The current series against Italian teams is particularly impressive. Inter has remained unbeaten in the last 13 games, even leaving the pitch as winners eleven times. Atalanta will not give up without a fight. Gian Piero Gasperini's boys are in the form of their lives. Only one defeat in the last 19 games and that against none other than Real Madrid - that speaks for itself. Until the 1-1 draw against Lazio at the weekend Atalanta had a breathtaking series of twelve consecutive victories. |
