The two top scoring sides in Serie A face off in round 26; Internazionale hosts Atalanta in a key game that could influence how the top four looks at the end of the match week. Internazionale tops the standings with 59 points, six ahead of the second placed Milan, while Atalanta are fourth on 49 points. With 13 matches to go, Inter will be hoping to hold on for their first league title since 2010. Unlike Atalanta, they have no other cup engagements and can afford to place all their eggs in the Serie A basket. The top scorers in the league, Inter, with 65 goals so far, will be looking to sting a side that’s continually threatening to break the big teams’ dominance in the league and Europe. Inter needed a double from Alexis Sanchez in their last game, to beat Parma 2-1, the fourth straight game they scored two goals or more. They hold a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions and in Serie A, they have six straight wins and are unbeaten in nine. From a possible 30 points in the last 10 league matches, Inter have collected 23. At home they’ve won each of the last nine league matches and are undefeated in 10. They’ve scored 18 goals in the last five home Serie A matches, and conceded just three.

Atalanta have scored 60 goals this season in Serie A and carry to this game a good scoring run in the last few matches – 12 goals in the last five matches. However, they hold the poorest defensive performance in the top four, having conceded 32 goals. They have one loss in their last eight matches and have conceded six goals in the last five matches, which is one area they’ll have to address going to this match. Atalanta have four straight wins in the league and are unbeaten in five in the Serie A, this is among the stats they’ll be looking to uphold when facing the league leaders. They’ve also scored two or more goals in four of the last five league matches and have a healthy away run to take to Milan. In nine straight away Serie A matches, they’ve not lost, and have five wins. They’ve lost just once in the last 22 away league matches.
