Serie A 2025-2026: Atalanta-Inter, the likely lineups

Atalanta and Inter face each other Sunday evening at 8:45 p.m. for a match valid for the 17th day of the Serie A championship. Raffaele Palladino’s Orobici have won three of their last four league games and climbed back to ninth place: they are now aiming for their third consecutive home win to overtake Lazio and break into the Europa zone. Cristian Chivu’s team, on the other hand, fresh from the disappointment in the Super Cup, is on the hunt for its fourth straight win in Serie A, which would allow it to return alone to the top of the standings.

The Dea is without Kossounou in defense, committed to the Ivory Coast in the African Cup of Nations. Djimsiti will join Hien and Kolasinac in the defensive trio. On the flanks Zappacosta and Zalewski, in midfield are Ederson and De Roon. Scamacca is the point supported by De Ketelaere and Pasalic, who will take the place of the absent Lookman.

Chivu without Acerbi, the three defenders will be Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni. On the flanks Luis Henrique (Dumfries and Darmian always out) and Dimarco, in midfield Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan. In attack are Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, Bonny is injured and not even on the bench.
