SERIE A IS BACK


MILAN – The international break has come and gone and the Rossoneri will be aiming to hit the ground running with a win at Bergamo this weekend where they will be facing Atalanta in round 31 of Serie A.However, Milan have tended to struggle following a break in the league championship this season and from the past four matches after a break, the Rossoneri have collected one point (1-1 away at Torino) and 3 defeats (versus Inter, Juventus and Bologna).Atalanta meanwhile have their own areas to improve upon and have conceded the most penalties (7, just like Roma and Sampdoria), have received the most red-cards (12) and are the side that drops the most points in the second-half: -8. The Orobici also have one of the leakiest defences in the top-flight for the period 76-90 minutes, shipping 14 goals. Only Frosinone have fared as badly in the final 15 minutes of a match.Milan though haven’t scored away from home in 226 minutes. The last Rossoneri player to score far from the San Siro was Bonaventura who scored the equaliser in Milan’s 1-1 draw at Napoli on February 22. Milan are on a 3 match winless run following two draws and one defeat. The team’s last win dates back to February 27 when Mihajlovic’s men beat Torino 1-0 at the San Siro. SOURCE: Footballa Data.
