Super Eagles duo Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze will be under the spotlight as Atalanta travel to face AC Milan in a Serie A fixture at San Siro on Sunday evening.
While Lookman aims to snap a four-game goal drought and rediscover his scoring form for La Dea, Chukwueze will be hoping to play a more prominent role after being an unused substitute in Milan’s last outing.
Buoyed by a commanding 4-0 victory over Udinese, AC Milan will be aiming to maintain momentum and strengthen their Champions League ambitions when they host Atalanta in a crucial Serie A showdown.
Atalanta, meanwhile, head to San Siro on the back of a solid 2-0 win over Bologna and will be eager to cause an upset.
Correct score prediction: AC Milan vs Atalanta
Milan head into the encounter with three wins from their last six Serie A outings, while visiting Atalanta have mirrored that form on the road, securing three victories in their past six away games.
Historically, the Rossoneri have found Atalanta a tricky opponent, losing three of their last six league meetings against the Bergamo side.
Goals have been a recurring theme in recent matches for both teams—Milan’s last three Serie A fixtures have all produced over three goals, while Atalanta have netted at least twice in four of their previous six away matches. A high-scoring affair could be on the cards at San Siro.
Prediction: Milan 2-1 Atalanta
Ademola Lookman eyes redemption as Milan clash offers chance to end scoring drought
Lookman will be eager to rediscover his scoring touch when Atalanta face AC Milan at San Siro. The Super Eagles forward has gone four matches without a goal, last finding the net in the 4-0 demolition of Juventus on 9 March.
Despite his recent struggles, Lookman remains a key figure in Atalanta’s attack and could be pivotal against a Milan side that has shown defensive vulnerabilities. Sunday’s clash presents the perfect stage for Lookman to break his goal drought.
For his part, Chukwueze will be hoping to play a more prominent role when AC Milan welcome Atalanta to San Siro.
The Super Eagles winger has seen limited game time in recent weeks, making brief second-half appearances before being left on the bench during Milan’s emphatic 4-0 win over Udinese.
With his pace and flair, Chukwueze remains a valuable attacking option for Sérgio Conceição.
