Odds, picks & predictions

AC Milan: +115
Draw: +225
Atalanta: +225

Moneyline pick: AC Milan +115

AC Milan have won three straight matches across all competitions. They have relied on a simple formula; score early and hold on. In each of their last two victories, they scored in the first 31 minutes of the game and held on 1-0.

Atalanta’s offensive style will clash with AC Milan’s more conservative approach; they’ve scored the third-most goals in Serie A, although they’ve found the back of the net just three times in their last four games. There is serious danger that Atalanta’s aggressiveness will be used against them, allowing AC Milan to score on the counter and sit back for the rest of the match.
