Team News

Atalanta
AC Milan
  • Lazar Samardzic and Mario Pasalic may start from the bench on Friday night.
  • Paulo Fonseca will confirm the 11 starters that featured against Empoli last weekend.

Prediction

  • Atalanta reinforced their credentials as title contenders despite some subpar performances from their primary attackers on Monday night, as the team grew into the game and earned a 2-0 win against Roma.
  • Meanwhile, AC Milan put in their most convincing defensive performance so far this season in their 3-0 win over Empoli last week, which featured a brace from Tijjani Reijnders, who in the form of his life right now and has already scored seven goals across all competitions.
  • An important part of their solidity against the ball came from Yunus Musah's hybrid role on the right wing, which gives the Rossoneri more balance and better width.
  • It will be interesting to see if Paulo Fonseca will stick to this solution in the long term as the Rossoneri need to improve on their consistency across competitions, but also how he will be able to get past Atalanta's tough man-marking schemes, which have been a huge issue in his previous matchups against Gian Piero Gasperini.
