REF’s picks

Over 2.5 goals offers a solid entry here as AC Milan's attack matches up well against an Atalanta side dealing with significant defensive absences. Both teams possess enough individual quality in the final third to push this game past the two-goal mark.

1. 1AC Milan's backline is weakened by Fikayo Tomori's suspension, potentially opening doors for Atalanta to score.
2. 2Atalanta itself is missing key defenders like Isak Hien and Odilon Kossounou, leaving their rearguard vulnerable.
3. 3A cagey tactical battle could slow things down if either manager opts for extreme caution early on.
