Prediction published on 10/01/2024, 06:57  by Kennedy Kechula in Football Predictions

AC Milan will be at home to welcome Atalanta for the two team’s quarterfinal tie of this season’s Coppa Italia. The winner here will then advance to play either Fiorentina or Bologna in the semifinals. AC Milan defeated Cagliari 4-1 in the last round and have now advanced to this round for the 13th time in the last 14 seasons. The exception in this stretch came last season as they were bundled out in the round of 16 by Torino. Stefano Pioli’s men are coming into this match in red-hot form. The Rosonneri haven’t lost in six outings and have won five times in this period. They defeated Empoli 3-0 last time out to record their third successive win.

Atalanta edged out a five-goal thriller the last time these two teams met which was a month ago in the league. Ademola Lookman scored a brace in that match. The Nigerian will however not be present for this clash as he is away on national duty. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men advanced to this round at the expense of Sassuolo whom they thrashed 3-1. Atalanta have made the quarterfinals in the last three seasons but only once have they gone beyond this round in this time. This was in the 20/21 season where they finished as runners-up. La Dea, who haven’t lost in three outings, have also been in stunning form in recent weeks. They have won five times in their last seven games. The visitors drew 1-1 with Roma last time out.
