LiontipsAC Milan vs Atalanta. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 Serie A (February 26, 2023).
Command Analysis
AC Milan had a strong start to the season and put significant pressure on the rapidly advancing Napoli, but the team lacked stability. Before the winter break, Stefano Pioli's side still had a chance at the Scudetto, but a series of setbacks in January excluded the Rossoneri from the list of contenders for the title and even put into question the team's ability to finish in the top four.
Currently, AC Milan are in fourth place in the table with 44 points, and Napoli have already pulled away by 18 points, making it practically impossible to catch up. However, there is still a chance to fight for second place - Pioli's men are three points behind their cross-town rivals Inter. In the last game, AC Milan defeated Monza 1-0 away, securing their third consecutive victory in all competitions.
Atalantastarted the season well, and the fact that the Bergamo team is not competing in European competitions allowed fans to hope for a fight for the Scudetto. However, in the first half of the season, Gian Piero Gasperini's men faced some serious problems and dropped out of the top four. Now only die-hard optimists believe La Dea can win the league.
However, in their traditional style, Atalanta pulled themselves together and delivered several very bright performances, and right at the moment when their competitors started making mistakes and when Juventus lost 15 points. Currently, Atalanta are sixth on the log with 41 points, trailing AC Milan by three points. The 1-2 loss to Lecce in the last round became the sixth of the season for the Bergamo team.

Tip and bets
AC Milan had an excellent run of three consecutive victories and managed to return to the top four, but the battle is far from over. In their home match against a direct competitor, the Rossoneri will seek to build on their success and likely go all out on offense. Atalanta have been vulnerable on defense lately, but the team has not lost its attacking skills, so it will be very difficult for Milan to keep a clean sheet.
Our prediction – both to score
AC Milan, without a doubt, will strive to collect maximum points today - Atalanta lack consistency, and the hosts will try to take advantage of that. However, the Rossoneri are unlikely to take risks from the first seconds of the game, as the opponent has quality performers in attack. Both teams will primarily aim to avoid defeat. We believe a draw is very likely here.
