Inter Milan are doing well so far in their title defence and will hope to still be on top of the Serie A after their home game against Atalanta on Match Day six of the league. They have 13 points from the opening five matches and take on fourth placed Atalanta who have 10 points. With 18 goals in the league, Inter are the leading scorers but they are struggling at the back. The five goals conceded so far makes theirs the most porous defence among the top four teams. They are coming from an impressive 3-1 win away to Fiorentina, that being the fifth straight league game they’ve scored two or more goals. Edin Dzeko was on the mark in that game, and he now has four goals in the opening five league games as he marks an impressive start to life in Milan. At home, Inter have registered 18 straight home wins in the league and are unbeaten in 19. Against Atalanta, they are unbeaten in the last five meetings; three have ended in draws.

Atalanta have suffered one loss this season; they head to this game unbeaten in their last three matches while they have won each of the last two. While they have struggled a bit defensively, they have two clean sheets in their opening five league games. They have conceded more than a goal in just one of the five matches and have three wins in the run. In the past seasons, they have been great in attack but so far that hasn’t come out clearly; they’ve scored just six goals in their opening five league matches. Meanwhile, Atalanta have conceded four goals in the first five league games and here they will have to tighten up. The prospect of facing an in-form Edin Dzeko will not excite the visitors so much. Dzeko has scored in six of his last eight matches against Atalanta. Atalanta are coming from a 2-1 win over Sassuolo, and going into this game, they have an eight-game unbeaten away run in the Serie A.
