At Gewiss Stadium on 28 October 2025, Atalanta host AC Milan in a Serie A encounter that promises intensity, tactical balance, and, most likely, goals at both ends. Both sides are navigating injury absences and inconsistent stretches, making this fixture as much about resilience as quality.
Scoreline Pick: 1–1 Draw
The selection is a 1–1 draw. With both teams weakened by absences and neither in peak rhythm, a shared result looks the most plausible outcome. Milan’s slight edge in overall form is offset by Atalanta’s home strength, and recent history between them often leans toward tightly contested scorelines.
Atalanta: Solid but Short-Handed
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men remain competitive but lack the fluency of past seasons. The absence of Mitchell Bakker and midfield depth has reduced their vertical transitions and attacking variety. Still, Atalanta’s pressing and movement in wide areas ensure they can create danger, especially against a Milan defense missing several key links in midfield protection.
AC Milan: Chasing Consistency
Milan’s mission is clear - victory is needed to stay within reach of the Serie A summit. However, injuries to Pulisic, Estupiñán, and possibly Loftus-Cheek limit creativity, forcing reliance on Leão’s individual bursts and the work rate of Jiménez up front. The Rossoneri’s back line has improved in structure, yet they’ve rarely looked watertight away from San Siro.
