The midfielder believes that if his side put in a good performance they can end the Nerazzurri's winning run in Serie A

Luca Cigarini is confident Atalanta can spring a surprise and beat in-form Inter on Sunday.

La Dea are currently ninth in Serie A and are big underdogs against Andrea Stramaccioni's side, with the Nerazzurri on a run of seven straight league victories heading into the contest.

But, Cigarini remains upbeat and believes his side can emerge victorious, if they put in a positive performance.

"We're both having a good time at the moment. But if we play like we know we can, then I think we'll come out with a good result," he told Eco di Bergamo.

“If we play like we did [in the 1-0 win] against Napoli this season, then we should be fine.

“We just need to carry on what we're doing because it would be a shame to break this good streak we're having."
