Form and Line-up: Milan
Milan are approaching the end of the season in dreadful form. In their last five matches, the hosts have scraped just one laboured win over Hellas Verona (1:0), who have already been relegated to the Serie B. Worst of all, that goal is the only one they have scored in this spell. On top of everything, Luka Modric has been ruled out with injury until the end of the campaign, and without him the attack looks completely toothless.
Key Numbers for Milan:
Milan rank eighth for possession (52.2%).
Milan are second for accurate diagonal passes (4.9).
Milan are fourth for big chances missed (60).
Probable Milan line-up (3-5-2)
Mike Maignan — Koni De Winter, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic — Zachary Athekame, Youssouf Fofana, Adrien Rabiot, Samuele Ricci, Davide Bartesaghi — Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic.
Unavailable: Luka Modric (injury), Fikayo Tomori (suspension).
Form and Line-up: Atalanta
Atalanta have also been failing to delight their fans with their recent performances. The visitors' winless run has reached five matches, and they have actually lost three of them. Most worrying is that the club's top scorer Krstovic has scored just once over that stretch, even though it was largely thanks to him that the team climbed the table earlier in the season. On the other hand, this run of poor results can be put down to a simple loss of motivation, as the visitors have already lost their chance of European football.
Key Numbers for Atalanta:
Atalanta have only two wins in their last 12 away matches.
Atalanta are third for big chances missed (62).
Atalanta rank sixth for possession (55.7%).
Probable Atalanta line-up (3-5-2)
Marco Carnesecchi — Giorgio Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, Honest Ahanor — Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Ederson, Nicola Zalewski, Charles De Ketelaere — Gianluca Scamacca, Nikola Krstovic.
Unavailable: Lorenzo Bernasconi (injury).
