After a solid 4-0 away win against Lecce, Serie A leaders Inter will host Atalanta on Wednesday at San Siro for a game that will level the matches played by the title contenders, since this clash was postponed as the Nerazzurri had to travel to Saudi Arabia to play (and win) the Supercoppa Italiana last January. Inter are currently at the top of the table with a nine-point advantage on Juventus and won all the games played so far this calendar year while Atalanta sit fifth, only two points behind Bologna.
