Atalanta vs AC Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Milan thrashed Sassuolo 6-1 in their most recent game.

Atalanta will welcome AC Milan to their backyard with the hope to go top of the Serie A table over the weekend. The Black and Blues are one of the most in-form teams at the moment in Europe having won each of their last eight games coming into this fixture, including a win against league leaders Napoli. They have all that it takes to go the distance, but it remains to be seen if they can maintain this form for the remainder of the season. 

AC Milan on the contrary have not been very consistent in the league this season. However, they come into this game on the back of three wins on the trot, including a statement 6-1 win over Sassuolo in the Coppa Italia. The Rossoneri occupy the seventh position on the table and are six points off a UEFA Champions League spot for next season. They need to pull themselves together and get back up because any slip-ups from here on could turn out to be very expensive.

Players to watch 

Mateo Retegui (Atalanta)

Mateo Retegui has turned out to be a successful signing for Atalanta. He has lit up the stage ever since his arrival over the summer and has made it to the headlines for all the good reasons. Retegui is a natural forward filled with goal-scoring instincts and is always at the right place at the right time.

His hold-up play combined with his finishing abilities and aerial prowess makes him a complete package for the Orobics. With 16 goals and three assists for both club and country, Retegui is enjoying the form of his life.

Theo Hernández (AC Milan)

The AC Milan skipper will be the man to watch out for coming into this game. Hernandez is undoubtedly one of the best left-backs in the world at the moment and brings more than just defending to the table. His attacking instincts are second to none.

He is known for his notable contributions upfront. His pinpoint crossing coupled with his dribbling and creativity makes him a threat for any opposition. Moreover, he has scored and assisted a couple of goals in the league this season.
