AC Milan vs Atalanta Preview

AC Milan host Atalanta at the San Siro on Sunday evening with fifth place in Serie A against tenth, and a head-to-head record that has not favoured the hosts. Milan are on 12 points and unbeaten in the league after a 1-1 draw away at Sassuolo on 11 October, and they won 4-0 away at Salzburg in the Europa League on Thursday. Atalanta are on nine points after a 3-1 home win over Venezia on 12 October, and they beat Pafos by the same scoreline in the Conference League on Thursday. Three points separate the clubs, and Milan’s goal difference of +6 compares with Atalanta’s 0. Milan have drawn three of their six league games, while Atalanta have lost three of their six. Kick-off in Milan is at 5pm UK time.

AC Milan’s last five read W2 D2 L1, with ten goals scored and five conceded. The most recent was Thursday’s 4-0 win away at Salzburg in the Europa League, the biggest margin of the five and one of two clean sheets in the run. Before that, Sassuolo held them to a 1-1 draw in Serie A on 11 October. Further back, Lecce were beaten 3-0 at the San Siro on 20 September, Benfica won 2-0 against Milan in the Europa League on 16 September, and Lazio held them to a 2-2 draw on 12 September. Milan won one and lost one of their two home games in the sample, and their three away games brought a win and two draws. The Benfica game was the only one of the five in which they failed to score.

Atalanta have won two and lost three of their last five, scoring eight and conceding eight, but the two wins are the two most recent results. Thursday’s 3-1 home win over Pafos in the Conference League is the latest, and the 3-1 home win over Venezia in Serie A on 12 October sits behind it. Before that came three straight defeats: Juventus won 2-0 against Atalanta on 20 September, Cagliari won 2-1 at Atalanta on 12 September, and Roma won 2-1 on 5 September. Atalanta scored in four of the five games and failed to score only against Juventus. At home across the sample they won two and lost one, and both of their away games ended in defeat.

Atalanta have the upper hand in the five Serie A meetings listed, with three wins to Milan’s none and two draws, and Atalanta lead the goals 8-5. The most recent was Atalanta’s 3-2 win away at AC Milan on 10 May 2026, and before that the sides drew 1-1 on 28 October 2025 with Atalanta as the home side. Atalanta have not lost any of the five. Milan have not won any of their three home games in this record at the San Siro, drawing one and losing two, so the hosts have yet to take three points off Atalanta in the sample.

Milan are fifth in the Serie A table on 12 points with a goal difference of +6, and Atalanta are 10th on nine points with 0. A win would take Atalanta to 12 points, level with Milan’s current total.
