Background information, news and team form

Atalanta has become a team to be reckoned with at the top of the Italian competition in recent years. The start of this season has not seen Atalanta in the best of form, as although Atalanta managed to beat Torino in their first game of the new season, they only managed a 0-0 draw with Bologna in their next game, and even lost 1-2 to Fiorentina in the following game. However, Atalanta has improved in the last few games and in the last 5 matches, Atalanta is unbeaten in all competitions. In the Italian Serie A, Atalanta now occupies 7th place with 11 points. In the Champions League, Atalanta managed a 2-2 draw at the Villareal stadium and a 1-0 home win over Swiss champions Bern.Ac Milan, on the other hand, are not shining in the Champions League after their long break. In their first match, they travelled to Liverpool's famous Anfield and although they were leading 1:2 at half-time, they couldn't finish the result and in the end Milan didn't take a single point after losing 3:2. In the next game against Atlético Madrid, things looked great for Milan again as they went ahead in the 20th minute, but Kessie was red-carded in the 29th minute and Atletico turned the game around late in the second half to 1:2, leaving Milan without a single point in the Champions League so far. In the Italian top flight, however, things are much happier. After 6 games played, Milan has 16 points and are in second place behind first-placed Napoli, who have 18 points.
