Serie A, Friday, 06.12.2024 at 20:45
There are exactly two games on this Serie A matchday in which the current Champions League contenders clash head-to-head. But this match is undoubtedly the one that the bookmakers have clearly paid more attention to.
In my Atalanta Milan betting tip, I will side with the home side.
However, this is not only because I am a fan of the soccer played by Gasperini, but also because I have already placed several successful bets on the northern Italians.
boy, boy – Zaniolo has once again caused quite a stir in Rome. He had played for the “Giallorossi” for five years, but on Monday he celebrated his goal to make the final score 2:0 for Bergamo as exuberantly as if he had just won the World Cup title for Italy single-handedly.
Shirt removal and frenetic cheering, which seemed more like a provocation, included! No wonder the crowd were beside themselves and the whistles wouldn’t die down even after the final whistle
But to be honest, Gasperini’s men probably didn’t give a damn once they returned to the medieval city under the protection of the Alps.
With this success, “La Dea” secured their eighth consecutive Serie A victory – a historic first for the Lombards.
You can’t help but wonder: Quo Vadis Atalanta? Could the Scudetto really be within reach? Inter and Napoli are also in absolute top form, but the upcoming opponents are currently more likely to be beatable for the Bergamo side.
The “Rossoneri” have stabilized recently and can point to a run of six competitive games without defeat (4 wins, 2 draws). However, that only sounds impressive at first, as a closer look shows that the results have often fallen short of expectations.
While Milan dropped big points against teams such as Lazio (2:2), Florence (1:2), Napoli (0:2) and Juventus (0:0), only Inter were beaten.
The major shortcoming remains the lack of penetration in the decisive moments against Serie A’s top teams.
Atalanta, on the other hand, have found their strength right there: Wins against Florence (3:2), Napoli (3:0) and Roma (2:0) show that nobody here is afraid of big names.
Gasperini also has a bench that allows him to really step up the pace in the final stages – an advantage that Milan cannot offer in this way.
A look at the record of the last direct duels also speaks in Atalanta’s favor: last season, the Lombards did not lose any of their three competitive matches against Milan, winning two and drawing one.
What’s more, Bergamo are brimming with confidence, while AC seem to lack self-assurance at crucial moments.
The Rossoneri’s poor away record in particular could prove to be their undoing.
Two wins, two draws and two defeats with 10:10 goals are simply not enough for a club with title ambitions. It will therefore be difficult for Milan on Friday against the home-strong Bergamasques, who tend to excel in such duels.
What do you think? Can Milan really take something with them in Bergamo, or will “La Dea” extend their historic run and show the Milanese the limits?
Apple Pay betting providers are currently very popular, which is why I primarily visited these bookmakers to find out about the current Atalanta AC Milan odds.
Obviously, I’m flirting with a win bet on the Bergamasques, but I don’t know if I’m really willing to select any additional conditions on top of the attractive Atalanta odds of around 2.00.
It is difficult to determine whether the game will go to Bergamo with 2:0 or rather with higher results such as 3:1 against this opponent!
Conclusion: In my Atalanta Bergamo AC Milan prediction, I speculate on a home win for Bergamo with over 1.5 goals. Because while “La Dea” is bursting with confidence, the visitors lack exactly that.
Milan not only look too vulnerable away from home this season, but also regularly show weaknesses against top teams.
Atalanta’s intense physicality is another big advantage for the hosts. The home side can bring fresh forces off the bench after the break and thus tilt games in their favor in the decisive phase.
Milan, on the other hand, have far fewer attacking options to bring in from the bench.
My tip: Win Atalanta & Over 1.5 goals
