AC Milan vs. Atalanta BC
The hottest title fight in all of Europe is taking place in Serie A this season! Even two matchdays before the end of the season, it is still not clear which of the two will be able to celebrate the Scudetto. The two are AC Milan and Inter Milan. The Rossoneri are currently two points ahead of the Nerazzurri. Therefore, coach Stefano Pioli’s team has it in its own hands to celebrate its first championship since the 2010/11 season. The next task on the way to the Scudetto is Atalanta Bergamo. For Milan, the Bergamaski is not a team that will be beaten in passing. However, the Rossoneri won a whole four games in a row.
Atalanta Bergamo is not playing for the championship this season. The Bergamaski are still fighting for a place in the European Cup. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s team would only play in this if Atalanta reached 6th place. Bergamo are currently level on points with sixth-placed AS Roma and also have the better goal difference. However, in Italy the direct comparison counts. Likewise, fifth in the table Lazio Roma is still catchable for the Lombards with only a three-point gap.

AC Milan Form & Balance Check
For AC Milan to actually win the Scudetto for the first time in eleven years is no longer an impossibility. Like a diligent schoolboy, the Rossoneri always do their homework. They have been rewarded with three points in each of the last four games. Even a deficit does not upset Milan. In Verona, Hellas led 1:0, but AC turned the game around and won 3:1. Even though Inter has the stronger squad, the Rossoneri play better as a team. That’s why AC are unbeaten in twelve games
“Defence wins Championships “
The adage that championships can only be won through a convincing defence applies to AC Milan’s season. The Rossoneri have conceded only 31 goals in 36 games, making them the best defensive team in Serie A along with Inter and Napoli. At home, Milan have conceded only 12 goals in 18 games. Only Juventus also conceded twelve goals at home. Milan also won their last two home games by zero goals. Four home games in a row the goalkeeper Maignan’s box remained clean

Atalanta form & balance check
Atalanta Bergamo have failed to build on their success of the last two seasons this season. Instead of fighting for the title, the Lombards are fighting for the European Cup this season. The Bergamaski are only in 8th place in the table. However, 5th place, which would entitle them to the Europa League, is only three points away. In addition, Atalanta already blew the first opportunity to qualify for the European Cup in the coming season. Bergamo were eliminated from the Europa League. With a win, the Lombards would even have participated in the Champions League. Nevertheless, the form curve in Serie A is going uphill. Coach Gasperini’s team won two of their last five games.
Away strength dominates
Bergamo have won two of their last four encounters. The Bergamaski won 3:1 each in Venice and Spezia. That Atalanta win away from home is no surprise this season. Bergamo is the third strongest team away from home this season. At home, the Lombards have only picked up 20 points in 18 games, which is why Bergamo are only in 13th place in the home table. In the first half of the season, Atalanta beat Juventus Turin, among others, away from home.
Atalanta facts & analysis
– Atalanta are in 8th place in the table with 59 points.
– Bergamo have won two away games in a row.
– The Lombards last won 3-1 at Spezia.
Predicted line-up – last update on 13 May 2022
Coach Stefano Pioli has the Rossoneri playing in a 4-2-3-1 system, in which Milan impress above all with a terrific centre in the form of Kessie and Tonali. Tonali scored a brace in the last match and led the game as a key player. In addition, Pioli can count on his substitutes’ bench. Florenzi scored after coming on as a substitute against Hellas to make it 3:1. Ibrahimović, despite his 40 years, is also a player who is always substituted by Pioli.
Atalanta Bergamo play in the typical 3-4-2-1 system. The Lombards perfected this formation in recent years under coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Even though this season is one of the Bergamaski’s weaker ones, Bergamo showed in the recent victory over Spezia what fantastic offensive potential this team possesses. Pasalic is Atalanta’s top scorer with 13 goals.
