We've only got two games on Wednesday night in Serie A, but this one ensures it's a huge night at the top. The league leaders Inter Milan are in action, looking to extend their lead further while they take on Atalanta, a team in the top four race. Two of the most in form teams in Serie A right now go head to head for a big three points here.
Inter Milan Form GuideInter have been perfect since they returned from the Italian Super Cup, a time they were overtaken by Juventus in the standings. They've won every game since then, and thanks to the fall of Juventus, have a nine point lead at the top. This is their game in hand on those below them, win it and it moves to 12 points with 12 games to go, you would think that's the title wrapped up, if you don't already think that.
They won at the weekend, beating Lecce 4-0 away from home in emphatic style. They've also won in the Champions League during this recent good run, beating Atletico Madrid 1-0 last Tuesday to take the upper hand in that tie. When the time was needed, Inter Milan have delivered with perfection.
Atalanta Form GuideAnother form team in the league, Atalanta, are in a really big battle for the top four right now, and this is their key game in hand to try and get the upper hand. But a draw at the weekend took them out of the top four, two points behind Bologna now, and with it all to play for as we approach the final quarter of the season.
I don't want to take too much away from Atalanta for that draw though, as it was away from home against AC Milan, who are 3rd in the table. But it did end a run of five league wins in a row for Atalanta, and this is the toughest task of all for them, as they look to bounce back.
Match PredictionA big game in the title race and the top four race, and it's the team in the title race I am siding with. Inter Milan have hit top gear at just the right time, they'll need to be good here, but I think they can be, and I'll take them to win this.
