AC Milan welcome Atalanta to the San Siro in a crucial Serie A clash on Sunday. Read our preview for the AC Milan vs Atalanta match. The hosts are chasing a top-four finish, while Atalanta are looking to tighten their grip on third place in the table. This fixture promises to be one of the standout games of the weekend.

Betting Preview for AC Milan VS Atalanta Betting On AC Milan The Rossoneri have lost just one of their last six league games, scoring two or more in four of those. They’re also tough to beat at home, just one loss at San Siro since October across all competitions. They’ll be without Emerson Royal, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Kyle Walker, but the return of Mike Maignan and Santiago Gimenez could boost their chances. Milan will be motivated to close the gap on Atalanta and strengthen their European push. Betting On Atalanta Atalanta returned to form with a 2-0 win over Bologna and have a strong head-to-head record against Milan, going unbeaten in their last four meetings. However, their recent away form isn’t great—they’re winless in their last three Serie A visits to the San Siro. Injuries remain a concern, with Scamacca, De Ketelaere, Kolasinac, Scalvini, and Palestra all ruled out. Posch is a doubt as well, which could leave them vulnerable defensively. MatchPlug Prediction For AC Milan VS Atalanta Milan are solid at home and will be eager to keep building momentum, while Atalanta will fight to maintain their strong league position.
