"Atalanta remain unbeaten in Serie A this season, yet their campaign has been defined by stalemates rather than triumphs. Six of their eight league matches have ended in draws, including a 1-1 result against Cremonese last weekend when Marco Brescianini's late strike canceled out Jamie Vardy's opener. This pattern of missed opportunities has left La Dea outside the top six despite their defensive solidity. Under Ivan Juric, Atalanta have adopted a more pragmatic approach compared to the high-octane style of Gian Piero Gasperini."
"While they've tightened up at the back, their attacking output has suffered-just two goals in four matches this month. The likes of Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere offer creativity, but Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic must rediscover their scoring touch if Atalanta are to trouble one of Serie A's most disciplined defenses. Juric's tactical challenge will be balancing aggression with control."
"A victory here could reignite their season and reaffirm their credentials as genuine European contenders. Team News Atalanta's injury list has eased, but defensive absences persist. Giorgio Scalvini, Mitchel Bakker, and Sead Kolasinac remain sidelined, forcing Marten de Roon to cover at center-back again if Honest Ahanor does not start. In attack, Lookman and De Ketelaere are expected to support either Scamacca or Krstovic up front."
The Gewiss Stadium hosts a key Lombardy derby with Atalanta unbeaten but drawing often and AC Milan aiming to reclaim momentum after dropping points. Six of Atalanta's eight league matches have finished level, including a 1-1 with Cremonese where Marco Brescianini canceled Jamie Vardy's opener, leaving La Dea outside the top six despite defensive strength. Under Ivan Juric the team is more pragmatic defensively, but attacking output has dipped to two goals in four matches. Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere provide creativity while Scamacca and Krstovic must rediscover scoring. Defensive injuries persist, with Scalvini, Bakker and Kolasinac sidelined and De Roon covering centrally.
