AC Milan vs Atalanta Prediction & Betting tips
Two teams who are expected to be in the top seven at the end of the stage but have so far been disappointing against each other, AC Milan took four points out of three matches, and Atalanta played just as many points but a game. Last season, Atalanta did good business by winning 0-2 in Milan and playing 1-1 at home.
AC Milan:
AC Milan did not know a good general for the encounter with the insignificant Dudelange. Last weekend was played out at Cagliari, with which Milan failed. In the first half Cagliari came along well and made it after four minutes the opening goal by none other than Joao Pedro, who for the first time played again after half a year of being suspended for doping use. In the second half, the team from Milan was far too strong and a victory seemed unable to stay out. Calhanoglu already had a huge chance at the 1-1, in the 55th minute Higuain made it after he was the goalkeeper. There was plenty of time for the Rossoneri and there were plenty of chances, but mainly Suso did not have a sharp eye and so it stayed at 1-1.
The rounding was also moderate against the Luxembourg Dudelange. Against a team consisting of part-time footballers, the Milan star formation was expected to score considerably, but it created few opportunities. Higuain made the only goal in the second half, his shot was changed by a defender. His exuberant cheer showed how much trouble AC Milan had this evening, of the eighteen shots only four went on goal.
Atalanta:
Atalanta started energetically in the run-up to this competition and, like last year, seemed to be the favorite for the seventh place to qualify for Europa League preliminaries. Sarajevo and Hapoel Haifa were put aside with playful ease, followed by a good start in the Serie A with a 4-0 victory over Frosinone and 3-3 with Roma. In the last preliminary round, Atalanta was eliminated by Copenhagen on penalties after two times 0-0, the enormous amount of chances it got were not finished.
This also turned over to the competition, where it went down at home with 0-1 against Cagliari and was lost 2-0 to SPAL last weekend. In both games Atalanta got enough chances and at least one point had ended, but where Zapata and Rigoni started the season strongly, the sharpness is now completely gone. For SPAL, it was almost Atalanta mercenary Petagna who scored twice and thus felled his own club.
