Atalanta take on the visitors AC Milan in the round 9 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 28th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Atalanta reached its peak under Gasperini, consistently staying among Serie A’s leading teams, though with occasional dips in form. Last season, they finished 3rd in the league, maintaining their reputation as one of Italy’s most progressive clubs. However, Gian Piero made it clear he would leave early, eventually moving to Roma. His replacement, Juric, ironically struggled in the Italian capital a year ago (and later at Southampton). In Serie A, his new spell has brought mostly draws — far from what the fans expected. In the previous round, Atalanta had another stalemate, drawing 1-1 with newly-promoted Cremonese. Their Champions League start was rocky, losing 0-4 to PSG, before narrowly beating Club Brugge 2-1. Against Slavia Prague, the match ended in a goalless draw. Atalanta’s performances suggest a side still adapting to a new system, lacking consistency but showing flashes of solid defensive organization. Home form remains their key advantage, as they’ve been difficult to beat in Bergamo, even when creativity up front has been limited.

Milan sets the highest possible goals for itselfю The Rossoneri under Pioli delivered top-level results, even winning the Scudetto. Interestingly, he was dismissed in 2024 despite finishing second. After that, the team struggled under Paulo Fonseca, and even Sérgio Conceição couldn’t stabilize the situation — despite starting with a Supercoppa win, Milan collapsed in both Serie A and the Champions League, eventually finishing 8th and losing the domestic cup final to modest Bologna. In the summer, Allegri returned to the bench. Apart from a 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Bari, his Serie A start was disappointing — a 1-2 home loss to Cremonese. Since then, Milan have tightened up, with only a goalless draw against Juventus, after missing a penalty. They also beat Napoli, but stumbled again in the last round, drawing 2-2 with promoted Pisa. Milan’s recent form shows improvement in balance and discipline, yet occasional defensive lapses remain a concern. Still, their attack looks far more structured, and their away performances have grown steadier compared to the chaos of last season.
In the last five meetings, La Dea has managed just one draw, losing all the other matches to their prestigious neighbor. The sides are fairly even on paper, but the visitors look sharper and more cohesive. We back Milan to avoid a second slip-up in a row and claim the victory.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win.
