AC Milan vs Atalanta prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22

Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as AC Milan take on Atalanta on Saturday.

Both teams have excellent players in their ranks and will produce an entertaining game, but Milan know that the Scudetto is within their grasp if they get four points from their final two games.

Atalanta are in eighth place in the Serie A standings and have largely failed to meet expectations this season. The away side defeated Spezia by a 3-1 margin last week and will need to work hard to achieve a similar result in this match.

AC Milan, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and are fighting for the Serie A crown. The Rossoneri secured a crucial 3-1 victory against Hellas Verona in their previous game and cannot afford a poor result this weekend.

AC Milan have carved out a two-point lead at the top of the Serie A standings and are within touching distance of a historic league triumph. The Rossoneri face stiff competition from Inter Milan at the moment and cannot afford to put a foot wrong over the next week.

Atalanta are perfectly capable of troubling Italy's big names and have become a formidable force in their own right. AC Milan have been the better team this season, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
