Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have been on a fine run of form after a shaky start to the season. They are now unbeaten in five straight games across all competitions. Atalanta have been registering wins with close margins throughout the new season. They have shown glimpses of their problems at defence but have gone on to compensate for the defensive drawbacks by scoring an ample amount of goals. They have just managed to keep just a single clean sheet in their last three Serie A matches and have had over 2.5 goals in four out of their last six matches across all competitions.

Milan come into the Atalanta fixture with a 2-1 loss at home to Atletico Madrid courtesy of goals in additional time. However, Stefano Pioli’s men need not be undone with the Atletico Madrid loss given their performance so far in the new season. They are unbeaten so far in Serie A with five wins and a draw. Milan have played a similar brand of football as Atalanta, relying on low scoring wins to pick up three points. They also have been conceding regular goals, managing to keep just two clean sheets in their last five Serie A matches. Milan also have had over 2.5 goals in four out of their last seven matches across all competitions. They ran out 2-0 winners at the Atleti Azzurri d’Italia in their last meeting with Atalanta back in May.

Both the teams are evenly matched on paper. They both like to score a lot of goals and play a free-flowing brand of football. While their defensive record is not something that great, it is not bad either. The two teams have been scoring goals with ease and hence, we are going for over 2.5 goals in this fixture.
