Atalanta and AC Milan will both put their unbeaten streaks on the line this Friday when they face off at the Gewiss Stadium.
Hosts Atalanta are flying high with an eight-game winning run across all competitions, so confidence in their camp should be through the roof for this Serie A Matchday 15 clash.
La Dea are firmly in the title race this season, sitting just one point behind Napoli at the top of the table. A win against Milan – who they’ve beaten twice and drawn with once in their last three meetings – would be another bold statement of intent as they chase their first-ever Serie A crown.
Atalanta haven’t managed back-to-back home wins over AC Milan since 2008, but this could be the season they rewrite history. With the in-form Mateo Retegui leading the line, the hosts have every reason to believe they can break that trend.
Retegui has already bagged 16 goals this season, and with Atalanta boasting a defence that’s conceded an average of just 0.8 goals per game recently, they’ll be quietly confident.
Looking to both breach Atalanta’s backline and end their winning run is a Milan side that are in a rich vein of form themselves, unbeaten in their last seven matches, with five wins during that span.
Goalkeeper Mike Maignan has been integral to Milan’s recent good form, keeping an impressive six clean sheets in the last 10 games. The Frenchman will certainly need to be on top of his game if I Rossoneri are to leave Bergamo with a positive result.
Left-back Theo Hernandez will also be key for the visitors, with his dual role as a defender and attacking threat down the flanks likely to prove pivotal in both boxes.
Betting Tip: Full-Time Draw
06/12 20:45 Atalanta – AC Milan Full-Time Draw @ 3.45 (Bet9ja)
When these two meet, goals are usually on the menu – both sides have averaged over 1.5 goals per game in their last 10 league matches.
But there’s also a history of stalemates in this fixture, with Atalanta and Milan having drawn 45 times in Serie A.
Given how evenly matched they look on current form, this might just be draw number 46.
Atalanta’s defensive discipline is matched by Milan’s solid organisation at the back, meaning they could cancel each other out. Even in a high-scoring affair, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the spoils shared.
It’s also worth noting that both teams are strong from set pieces, so a cheeky punt on the first goal being a header at 6.00 odds on Bet9ja might be worth a shot.
However, our main betting tip is a full-time draw at 3.45 odds on Bet9ja. It’s the logical bet here and offers excellent value, considering how evenly matched these two teams are.
