?Inter travel to Bargamo on Saturday as they face off against ninth placed Atalanta in Serie A. With Inter still searching for a coveted top four spot, a win against Atalanta at the weekend will be imperative to their UEFA Champions League qualification dream.
A run of mixed form has seen Inter lose their place in the top four of the league. Therefore a win will be the only acceptable outcome should I Nerazzurri hope to keep the pressure on Roma and Lazio, who both lead the Milan outfit by one point each.

Marcelo Brozovic will be a big miss for I Nerazzurri as the Croatian misses out on the trip to Atalanta through suspension. Starting in his place will likely be Rafinha who has been a greatly influential player since joining from Barcelona.
Ivan Perisic will likely start on the left of midfield and Yann Karamoh could be set to be utilised on the right after his promising performance against Torino.
