Atalanta vs Milan prediction and betting tips on December 9, 2023
Within the 15th round of the Italian Serie A, there will be a match between Atalanta and Milan. The encounter will take place in Bergamo on Saturday, December 9th. The game is scheduled to begin at 18:00 Central European Time.
Atalanta
After several successful seasons, Atalanta has slightly faltered in terms of results, and currently, the team cannot be considered a contender for medals. The new season started reasonably well for the club, and at the moment, they are within a few points of the European qualification zone. This suggests that the team is maintaining a solid level, even though it doesn't boast global stars in its squad. After 14 Serie A matches, the team has gathered 20 points, but they sit just four points behind Roma, who hold the fourth spot.
Milan
Despite a somewhat unlucky streak in recent matches, Milan holds the third position in the standings, trailing behind Inter and Juventus. However, they are already six points adrift of the league leaders. After 14 played matches, Milan leads their closest pursuers by five points and feels quite comfortable in the third position. Following an unsuccessful match against Lecce, Pioli's team achieved two victories against Fiorentina and Frosinone.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
