AC Milan vs Atalanta Betting Tips

Have AC Milan finally turned the corner? We’re not willing to go that far. However, we’re also not going to ignore three straight victories and a run of four games unbeaten. Their last victory, a 3-1 away win over Lazio was particularly impressive and it suggested that manager Siniša Mihajlović and this new-look squad are finally starting to come together.

Their task on Saturday night won’t be an easy one. Atalanta have enjoyed a strong start to their return to top flight Italian football. They are currently sixth in the table, just two points behind red hot Milan. They also have a recent win over Lazio, though their victory came at home. Last weekend they posted a disappointing effort getting thrashed 3-0 by Bologna.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. AC Milan’s form

They’ve played brilliantly over the last few weeks, perhaps the idea of a “regeneration” at the San Siro wasn’t so far-fetched after all.

2. Atalanta’s defence

Their thrashing at the hands of a pretty modest attack in Bologna raises questions over their defence. They need to score goals to be successful and that may not be sustainable.

3. Playing at San Siro

It’s never an easy trip and it’ll only be more difficult with Milan finding a groove.
