Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Atalanta lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan side in a crucial encounter at the San Siro on Sunday.
AC Milan vs Atalanta Preview
Atalanta are currently in fifth place in the Serie A standings and have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. The away side eased past Sassuolo by a 3-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a shock 3-2 defeat at the hands of Rennes in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
