AC Milan sit sixth in Serie A’s 20-team table with 12 points from six matches and a goal difference of +6. Atalanta are 10th on nine points with a goal difference of zero, and their start has been uneven. Sunday’s meeting at San Siro gives Milan the chance to build on a solid opening, while Atalanta need points to keep pace.
Form
Milan have scored nine goals in their last five league games and conceded four, and they have yet to lose a home match this season. Atalanta’s form has swung sharply. They have lost three of their last five, scoring six and conceding seven, and their away record this season includes two defeats from two trips.
Atalanta’s unbeaten run against Milan
This is the story that matters most. In their last five Serie A meetings, Atalanta have won three and drawn two, and they have not been beaten. Their most recent visit, in May, ended 3-2 in Atalanta’s favour after a 2-3 scoreline at Milan’s home ground. Earlier, Atalanta won 2-1 in December 2024 and 1-0 in April 2025, while the October 2025 meeting finished 1-1. Milan have not won any of the five. For a club that has struggled to find consistency this season, the record is a useful reminder that Atalanta know how to beat this opponent.
Team news
Milan will be without Gabbia, who is out with a thigh injury, and Saelemaekers, sidelined by an ankle problem. Atalanta have a bigger list of absences. Elmas is out after a red card, while Hien (muscle), Kessie (calf), Kossounou (thigh) and Scalvini (thigh) are all missing. Bellanova, Raspadori and Sulemana are listed as doubtful, with thigh and knee issues. The depleted defence is the most significant concern for the visitors.
Our prediction
We expect AC Milan 1-1 Atalanta. Milan’s home form and their clean sheets at San Siro make them the more settled side, and their attack has been the more productive of the two over the last five games. Atalanta’s injury problems at the back are a serious handicap, but their recent record here suggests they will not be easily beaten, and this fixture has a history of tight, level results.
