• Competition: Coppa Italia
• Date: Wednesday, 10th January 2024

• Venue: San Siro (Milan)

Inter Milan and Juventus have distinguished themselves as the top two Italian teams this season. AC Milan, trailing by nine points to Inter and seven points to Juventus, are the only team in a position to challenge them for the top two spots, as the rest of the teams lag too far behind in the rankings. Currently, AC Milan is performing well, having won five out of their last six matches. In their most recent match, they secured a 3-0 victory against Empoli on the latter’s home ground. AC Milan dominated from the onset, ensuring a comfortable win.

Atalanta, trailing AC Milan by nine points, is more likely to contend for the fourth spot with Bologna, Fiorentina, and several other teams. They’ve been performing well, suffering just one defeat in their last seven matches across all competitions. In their last game, they drew 1-1 away against AS Roma. It was a lucky escape for Gian Piero Gasperini’s team, managing to secure one point despite the home team having an expected goals (xG) of 1.89, compared to their mere 0.68.

AC Milan vs Atalanta pick: AC Milan to win

AC Milan have displayed excellent performances at their home stadium, securing victories in six out of the last seven matches with a goal difference of 15:6. Conversely, Atalanta’s record away from home is less impressive, with only one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five road games across all competitions. Given this, AC Milan is expected to have the upper hand against Atalanta on Wednesday and is anticipated to secure a win.
