Atalanta vs AC Milan Predictions

• Atalanta have failed to win any of their last five meetings with Milan
• Milan have lost only two of their ten away matches this term
• Both teams have scored in four of Milan’s last five matches and three of Atalanta’s last four

Honours even in Bergamo

Milan will arrive in Bergamo feeling confident having avoided defeat in their last five meetings with Atalanta, winning four of those clashes, and having lost just twice in their previous ten away games in all competitions.

However, they have won just one of their last five road games and drew 2-2 with bottom half side Lecce in their last away match.

Although, the hosts do not inspire much confidence for this top-eight clash either, having experienced a similarly poor run of form in recent weeks.

Atalanta’s only win in their previous six matches came against Swiss side Sturm Graz in the Europa League and this visit of the Rossoneri rates a tough assignment.

Eyes elsewhere for Milan?

Atalanta have already secured top spot in their Europa League group, meaning they can focus their energy on this clash, but Milan do not have such a luxury.

They are tied with Newcastle on five points in their Champions League group, setting up a winner-takes-all clash with the Magpies on Wednesday night.

Whoever prevails will ensure knockout European football, either in the Champions or Europa League, and there is a possibility Milan may be too focused on that fixture to take all three points in Bergamo.

The visitors are a stronger side than Atalanta, as shown by their league position and recent record over their hosts, but with their minds potentially distracted by that crucial European tie, they may have to settle for a point on Saturday.
