AC Milan vs Atalanta prediction and betting tips on February 25, 2024
The Sunday program of the 26th round of the Italian championship will conclude with a match at the "San Siro," where the local side AC Milan will host Atalanta. Here is the match prediction from Dailysports experts.
AC Milan
On Thursday, Milan visited France, where they suffered a 2-3 defeat against Rennes in the Europa League playoff second leg. However, the fate of the qualification in this tie was sealed the week before at the "San Siro," where the "Rossoneri" secured a 3-0 victory. However, in the latest Serie A fixture, Stefano Pioli's team stumbled in an away clash with Monza, losing 2-4. Consequently, after an unbeaten run of six matches in all competitions (five wins and one draw), Milan has now suffered defeats in two consecutive matches. Currently, the "Rossoneri" occupy the third position in the league table, trailing their neighbors Inter by 11 points.
Atalanta
A series of five victories in the Italian championship have propelled the "Goddess" closer to the top four in the league table. In their last match over the weekend, the Bergamo-based side convincingly defeated Sassuolo 3-0 at home. As a result, Atalanta currently sits in fourth place, trailing Bologna by three points and lagging behind Milan by seven points. It's worth noting that the Bergamasques have reached the semifinals of the Coppa Italia, defeating Milan at the "San Siro" along the way. Let's not forget that Gian Piero Gasperini's side will soon start the Europa League playoffs. In the autumn, the "Goddess" topped their group, and now they await matches against Portuguese side Sporting.
