Serie A 2025-2026: Milan-Atalanta, the likely lineups

A Milan takes on Atalanta at the San Siro in a crucial match for Champions League qualification: the match is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. and is valid for the 36th day of Serie A. In a corporate moment that is far from serene, with the ad Furlani put under accusation by the fans, the Diavolo cannot afford to make a mistake against an Atalanta now without any more goals this season, except to finish the championship with pride. Allegri’s team must keep Como and Roma at a distance and secure its qualification for the most important European cup.

Pulisic is forced to forfeit a few hours before the match, so against the Nerazzurri Allegri will again rely on Leao in attack, with the Portuguese there will be Gimenez. On the flanks are Saelemaekers and Estupinan, while Loftus-Cheek, Ricci and Rabiot will be in the midfield, Jashari is expected to sit on the bench again. Tomori is out due to disqualification, De Winter is in.

Palladino is thinking of Krstovic as central point, with Raspadori and De Ketelaere behind him. In midfield De Roon is paired with Ederson, while on the outsides will be Bellanova and Zappacosta.
