Prediction: AC Milan vs Atalanta

In a showdown between two local rivals on Sunday evening, AC Milan will welcome Atalanta to the San Siro this weekend.

Ahead of a stacked schedule from across the continent, there are plenty of attractive betting promotions available.

AC Milan

Starting with the hosts, while there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows over the summer following Ruben Amorim’s arrival at the San Siro, AC Milan are certainly enjoying life under the ex-Manchester United boss. Last seen on Thursday night putting in a dominant Europa League display as they stormed their way to a 4-0 romp away at Austrian giants Salzburg, the Rossoneri can move within touching distance of top spot in the Serie A standings this weekend. Heading into September’s extended international break with a routine 3-0 victory at home against Lecce, Amorim’s side have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their first eight appearances across all competitions. It should also be noted, notching 11 goals in their opening six Serie A showdowns since opening up the 2026/27 campaign, only the duo of Roma and arch-rivals Inter Milan can boast a better attacking return.

While former Verona youngster Filippo Terracciano might have been shown a late Europa League red card on Thursday night, the 23-year-old is free to feature this weekend. Both dealing with respective injury issues, AC Milan will once again be without the duo of Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers here.

Coming off the bench and finding the net in Austria and now notching four goals in his previous five appearances for club and country, big-money summer recruit Goncalo Ramos will lead the line. Now in his second campaign at the San Siro, French international Adrien Rabiot will start in the middle of the park.

Atalanta

As for the visitors, while Atalanta might have entered September’s extended international break in the midst of a public crisis, La Dea have come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion. Marking their return with a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Venezia, Maurizio Sarri’s men have now registered consecutive wins across all competitions for the first time since the end of August. Likewise, securing another 3-1 win against Cypriot outfit Pafos on Thursday night, the one-time Chelsea boss will now be calling on his squad to find some much-welcomed defensive grit. However, despite failing to muster a single clean sheet from their previous five straight outings, Atalanta will be excited by a sensational recent record against their local rivals. Landing a stellar 3-2 win when they last travelled to the San Siro for a Serie A showdown back on May 10th, Sarri’s side have remarkably registered 10 points from their last four top-flight battles against AC Milan.

Shown a late red card at home against Venezia last weekend, North Macedonian international Eljif Elmas will miss out on Sunday night through suspension. Both still dealing with respective injury issues, Atalanta will be unable to call upon the duo of Kamaldeen Sulemana and Swedish defender Isak Hien here.

Handed a full Europa Conference League rest in midweek, summer recruit and former AC Milan star Franck Kessie will start in the middle of the park on his return to the San Siro. Likewise, Brazilian international Ederson should also be handed an immediate full recall.
