AC Milan's Unbeaten Home Streak on the Line
Ruben Amorim’s men return to San Siro looking to turn a stubborn run of league draws into a third consecutive home victory.
The Rossoneri sit fifth in Serie A with three wins and three draws, showing remarkable defensive resilience in front of their own supporters where they have yet to concede a league goal. While a 1-1 draw at Sassuolo slowed their domestic climb, Milan produced a scintillating display in Austria on Thursday, thrashing Salzburg 4-0 behind an unforgettable hat-trick from 19-year-old sensation Alphadjo Cissé.
Cissé has quickly emerged as Milan’s breakout star of the autumn, following up a crucial derby goal against Juventus before the international break with a clinical three-goal haul in Europe. The teenager is pushing hard to start in an attack led by Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos and flanked by Christian Pulisic.
In midfield, veteran Luka Modrić partners Adrien Rabiot—who has scored all three of his league goals after the hour mark—alongside Yunus Musah. At the back, Amorim will cope without long-term absentees Matteo Gabbia and Alexis Saelemaekers, relying on Mario Gila, Koni De Winter, and Strahinja Pavlović to shield Mike Maignan’s goal with Pervis Estupiñán providing width on the left.

Atalanta's Inconsistent Form and Away Day Woes
Maurizio Sarri brings his squad to Milan aiming to translate back-to-back 3-1 home victories into their first away points of the autumn.
La Dea sit 10th in the table with nine points, having steadied the ship following a three-game losing run by overcoming Venezia in Serie A and Cypriot side Pafos in the Conference League.
However, travel sickness remains Sarri’s primary concern: Atalanta have lost both of their away league matches so far against Roma (2-1) and Juventus (2-0), conceding early in both contests.
Sarri faces a severe selection crisis across his squad. Midfielder Eljif Elmas is suspended following his dismissal against Venezia, while defenders Giorgio Scalvini, Odilon Kossounou, and Isak Hien are sidelined alongside Kamaldeen Sulemana and Thomas Pompei.
Montenegrin striker Nikola Krstović (three league goals) is expected to spearhead the frontline ahead of Gianluca Scamacca, supported by Jonathan Rowe, Lazar Samardžić, and former Milan attacker Charles De Ketelaere.
In the engine room, Brazilian midfielder Éderson partners Gianluca Gaetano, while Marco Carnesecchi directs a patched-up back four featuring Davide Zappacosta, Thomas Kristensen, Sead Kolašinac, and Lorenzo Bernasconi.

AC Milan vs. Atalanta Prediction: Rossoneri to Continue Home Dominance
Each of Milan’s last 12 matches across all competitions has produced at least two goals, while Atalanta enter Sunday on the back of consecutive 3-1 scorelines. With both teams creating plenty of opportunities in the final third, backing Over 1.5 goals in the match provides a dependable starting point.
Atalanta have scored three first-ten-minute goals this season and regularly trouble Milan’s backline, while the Rossoneri have found the net in each of their last three matches. Given that seven of the last nine meetings between these clubs have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, backing Both Teams to Score looks like an attractive angle.
While Atalanta boast an impressive recent record at San Siro, their heavy defensive absences and poor away form tip the scales toward Amorim’s side. Back AC Milan on the Moneyline to take all three points.
