Milan vs Atalanta

Tutto quello che c'è da sapere sull'ultimo appuntamento casalingo della nostra stagione.

AC Milan have recorded four consecutive victories and are unbeaten in 14, while Atalanta have won twelve games away from home this season (only AC Milan have done better in the current Serie A campaign) but haven't yet won two games on the spin in 2022. Even though AC Milan haven't beaten La Dea at San Siro since January 2014, they have won both of their last two games against the Nerazzurri (both in Bergamo): the memorable win on 23 May 2021 and the 3-2 victory last October. The Rossoneri are currently on top in the overall head-to-head record against Atalanta (W53, D43, L25) but this is still a really tricky fixture, even with the two sides in vastly different form. We need to be self-aware in our approach to the match; we’ve been very good so far, but we also need to be very good from tomorrow until the end. Everyone is available - with the exception of long-term absentee Kjær - though Stefano Pioli will have to deal with the possibility of risking suspension for five players: Díaz, Kalulu, Leão, Romagnoli and Tomori are all one yellow card away from a ban. This is a must-win match against the Nerazzurri as the Rossoneri look to go one step closer to the realisation of a dream, though they shouldn't dwell too much on the potential mathematical outcomes. AC Milan are close to a special end to the season and the Atalanta game is their final match in front of the home crowd at San Siro this campaign.

Milan could theoretically win the Scudetto this weekend, but Atalanta need a victory for Europa League qualification, so both teams will go all-out attack ...

They have a superior head-to-head record with Inter, so if the two rivals finish level at the top, Milan have the upper hand. Atalanta have plenty to play for too, as a win would let them leapfrog Roma and at least temporarily catch Lazio in fifth. The Rossoneri will be able to celebrate the title with a round to spare if they get a better result than Inter manage in tonight’s trip to Cagliari.

Milan need to overcome a block that has haunted the side for years and will need the attack on fire.

Milan will need Tonali and Kessie to fall back and add an additional defensive line to keep Muriel and Pasalic away from our box. He has 9 goals and 9 assists in the league and will be leading the line for this game as Zapata just gets back. Milan have not beaten the Bergamo based side at home since 2014 and Stefano Pioli will want all three points to go into the final match day on favourable terms.
