Atalanta hosts AC Milan in round 17 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, December 22nd at Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia (Bergamo)
Atalanta currently ranks sixth in the standings and is seven points ahead of Milan. Last weekend, Atalanta lost to Bologna (2-1) and broke the 4-match winning streak in all tournaments. However, I do not think that that defeat will somehow negatively affect the mood of the players because they remain in the top six. Moreover, Atalanta received positive news on Monday. The Goddess will play against Valencia in the playoffs of the Champions League, and it is a very good option. Therefore, I believe that the mood in the team is festive, and Atalanta will continue to play its favorite attacking football.

Milan is also in excellent spirits, having played four matches without a single loss. However, the result with Sassuolo can hardly be called logical because Milan absolutely dominated the field, having delivered 23 shots on goal, but it did not manage to convert at least one attempt. I think that this will also become an additional motivating factor for the team, especially as the opponent is very suitable.
The last six head-to-head matches of the teams ended with the exchange of goals. Moreover, Atalanta did not score in only one of the last six home matches but conceded in all of them. Milan also has good goal statistics in the last six away matches. Only two matches ended without “Both teams to score – yes”. Given that this is the last match before the winter holidays, both teams will spare no effort and will want to earn all three points. I look forward to wide-open football, with the continuation of the mutual scoring in the head-to-head meetings of these teams.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
