Two Italian giants in Milan and Atalanta go head-to-head this weekend in the Serie A. Wit the Rossoneri looking to stretch their lead at the top of the standings, we expect to see a closely contested affair. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Both teams have pretty much cancelled each other out in recent seasons with five wins for Milan and six wins for Atalanta over the past seventeen meetings. It is to be noted that both sides played out a 1-1 draw in their most recent encounter at the San Siro. Will history repeat itself this coming Saturday.

Milan still in pole position

Milan remain at the top of the Serie A standings with three points ahead of their local rivals Internazionale. After enduring their first league loss about a week ago, Pioli's troops have shown great mental character winning all two league games since. What's more, the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovich has also brought good fruits for them with the Swede netting both goals in their 2-0 win against Cagliari last time out.

La Dea decent unbeaten record

Atalanta travel to Milan with quite an impressive record in the Serie A. The second-highest goal scorers in the league with 41 goals scored haven't lost a game since that 2-0 home loss to Hellas Verona back in November. This is a run that has spanned across nine Serie A matches. They failed to cop maximum points last time out away at Udinese with both sides playing out a 1-1 draw. As such, with no wins in two games, one is left to wonder how long this run can go on for.

Milan vs Atalanta Prediction: 2-2

Milan welcome their opponents to the San Siro with quite a number of players out injured. However, they have an impressive squad depth and so will be fielding a strong XI nonetheless. Le Dea, on the other hand, will be keen on getting back to winning ways with two disappointing draws in their last two games. Unfortunately, that is exactly where we see this game going with both sides expected to share the spoils in an enthralling draw.
