AC Milan meets Atalanta in a battle that could have major implications for the Serie A standings. The home team is 9th, searching for a way to end up in some of the places that lead to the European stage. On the other hand, Atalanta is third, though feeling the heat coming from behind, with all the teams pursuing La Dea and the place that leads to the UEFA Champions League.
As stated before, this is a very significant game, and as such, it carries massive pressure, particularly for the hosts, whose season isn’t as planned. Milan has struggled to find its rhythm for a while now, and if they fail to take all three points here, that would definitely kill Rossoneri’s ambitions and chances to end up in the upper half of the standings.
Atalanta oscillates, too, and their title dreams are over. Though, La Dea now has to regroup and keep its UCL place. Taking a point here would be OK, but three points are their goal due to all the rivals waiting for Atalanta’s slip.
Here are more Serie A odds.
AC Milan VS Atalanta Preview
AC Milan
Only three victories in the previous 10 events isn’t a good record for Rossoneri. The most recent win in Udine, however, boosts the morale of the shaky unit. They were better than Udinese 0-4, showing what they are all about, yet the biggest question here is whether Sergio Conceicao’s crew can be consistent.
This was the first meeting after 9 in a row in which we haven’t seen both teams netting. A vast majority of the games during that span ended with over 2.5 goals which tells that Milan’s games are interesting and suitable for betting when it comes to high efficiency.
Conceicao’s crew posted just one win at San Siro in the past 5 matches. They also conceded a goal in 8 of the recent 10 appearances in front of their own fans. In general, the defense has been problematic and that’s something the Portuguese needs to change and tighten up.
Atalanta
La Dea’s three losses in a row shut down all hopes of winning the title. Gasperini’s boys didn’t score a single goal against Inter, Fiorentina and Lazio, playing two of the games at home. This stretch was a hard kick in the teeth for the boys from Gewiss, who then bounced back against Bologna, 2-0.
This game will show whether the crisis is over for the team from Bergamo or if the win over Bologna was just a short spark.
Atalanta’s games lately usually end with just one side scoring. That was the case in the latest seven consecutive meetings this crew had. Overall, we saw La Dea win just three times over the past ten contests, posting two defeats and five losses. Atalanta has the top scorer in Serie A, Mateo Retegui who hit the back of the net 23 times.

AC Milan VS Atalanta Predictions
From this point of view, both teams aren’t in good shape, and they have plenty of problems, particularly on the defensive side. Our pick here is to bet on both teams scoring because that seems like the most logical bet due to the recent results Milan had and the fact that Atalanta has excellent strikers and mediocre defenders.
