Our Tipster’s Angle

Milan is currently having a renaissance in Serie A as they currently sit on top of the table. Atalanta on the other hand has experienced somewhat of a slump especially after last season where they had their highest finish. We expect this to be a tight encounter where both teams would like to grab three points to meet their expectations for the season.

Tip 1: Milan To Win or Draw

Milan has a three points gap over Inter who are their closest challengers to the league title as of this moment. Milan has been in great form having won four out of the last five matches and losing just one. The previous head-to-head encounters between the two sides suggests the most suitable result is a draw as three out of the five matches have resulted in a draw and the two sides have got one win each. So it looks most likely that the home side would get at least one point from the game at 1.54 odds available on Casumo sportsbook.

 Tip 2: Total Goals Over 2.5

The attacking talent on display definitely suggests that goals would be a feature in their match. Both sides have had high scoring encounters this season. Four out of seven Milan matches has resulted in more than 2.5 goals and five out of seven Atalanta matches has resulted in more than 2.5 goals. Apart from that, three out of their previous head-to-head encounters have also resulted in more than 2.5 goals. Hence there are better chances of there being more than 2.5 goals scored in the match at 1.53 odds available on Casumo sportsbook. 

Conclusion

Looking at the way both sides have played this season the edge would definitely go to Milan but Atalanta definitely has the attacking prowess to hurt the depleted defense of their opponents. Summarizing a couple of bets mentioned above.

  1. Milan To Win or Draw @ 1.54
  2. Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.53
