✅  Stats before the game.  Milan are the team against which Atalanta have drawn the most matches in Serie A: 43 out of 120 games overall (25 Nerazzurri and 52 Rossoneri successes complete the balance sheet); six of the last 12 league matches between these two teams ended in a draw.  In the last six Serie A matches between Atalanta and Milan the same result has never been repeated twice in a row (in the last match the Rossoneri won in Bergamo in May). Since Gian Piero Gasperini coached Atalanta (2016/17), AC Milan is one of the two teams (with Juventus) against which the Bergamo players have won fewer matches (only one , 5-0 in December 2019). Atalanta collected 11 points in the first six days of this championship: they had earned 12 points after the first six games played in 2020/21 and 13 in 2019/20.
