Comments and predictions for Atalanta vs AC Milan: Home team escapes defeat

Latest Atalanta vs AC Milan squad information

Gian Piero Gasperini, serving his second touchline ban, will miss Friday night, but his squad is almost complete. Gianluca Scamacca is still recovering from a knee injury, while Davide Zappacosta is close to returning from a muscle injury. Atalanta's top scorer Mateo Retegui, who leads the Serie A scoring charts with three more goals than his nearest rival, will continue alongside Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere (former Milan players) in an attacking trio.

The match features the four Serie A players with the most goals in 2024: De Ketelaere (30), Lookman (30), Rafael Leao (28) and Christian Pulisic (27). Leao has scored three goals in Serie A this season, all away from home, and will partner Pulisic and Samu Chukwueze (who scored twice on Tuesday) to support Tammy Abraham. However, Alvaro Morata could start instead of Abraham.

After a few changes, Paulo Fonseca will field his strongest lineup, with only Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi and Luka Jovic absent, while Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez have returned to training.

Latest football commentary on Atalanta vs AC Milan

A recent win over Roma not only kept Atalanta in the Scudetto race, one point behind the leaders, but also brought them closer to a club record nine consecutive wins dating back to 2020. Captain Marten De Roon and Nicolo Zaniolo scored in a 2-0 win at the Stadio Olimpico, continuing their impressive start to the 2024-25 season.

Atalanta now have more than 30 points after 14 Serie A games for the first time in the club's history and are five goals clear at the top of the scoring charts. Gian Piero Gasperini's side have scored at least two goals in their last 11 games at the Gewiss Stadium and are set to face Milan. Charles De Ketelaere, who joined Atalanta from Milan, scored five goals in a 6-1 win over Young Boys in the Champions League, where they remain unbeaten this season.

Atalanta are currently in the top eight of the Champions League's automatic round of 16, two points ahead of Milan, and are in excellent form. Milan, meanwhile, despite losing to Atalanta in their last meeting, have won four of their last eight Serie A meetings. However, the Rossoneri are seventh in the table after a shaky start to the season.

Under Paulo Fonseca, Milan are slowly finding their feet, with a win over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and a third successive Champions League win. In Serie A, they beat Empoli 3-0 thanks to a double from Tijjani Reijnders, taking their tally to six clean sheets in their last 10 games. However, Milan have won just two of their six away games this season, and facing Atalanta will be a big test to extend that run.
