Comparative Team Statistics: AC Milan vs Atalanta

Atalanta have had the better of this fixture lately

Look back over the last five meetings between these two and Atalanta come out on top. They've won three of them, including a 3-2 away victory back in May, with the other two games ending level.

Milan haven't actually beaten Atalanta in any of those recent head-to-head clashes, which is a bit of a wrinkle given how well Milan are playing right now.

That h2h trend runs against Milan's current form, so this fixture has produced awkward results for them even in decent spells.
