Atalanta's Surge: Aiming for Historic Win Streak Against AC Milan

Atalanta, the Europa League winners, are on the brink of matching their club record for consecutive Serie A victories. With an impressive eight-game winning streak, they face AC Milan in a crucial match that could see them reach the top of the league standings, hinting at a potential historic achievement.

Atalanta, fresh from their Europa League triumph, are aiming to continue their extraordinary run in Serie A as they prepare to face AC Milan on Friday. With an eight-match winning streak, the team is only a step away from equaling their longest winning run set in 2020.

The team coached by Gian Piero Gasperini secured a 2-0 win against AS Roma earlier this week, keeping the pressure on league leaders Napoli, whom they trail by a single point. A victory against Milan would not only see Atalanta equal their record but also establish them as serious contenders in the title race.

Meanwhile, AC Milan has struggled recently, securing just two wins in five matches, thus slipping outside of European qualification spots. Napoli, having regained momentum with wins against Roma and Torino, will be up against Lazio, setting the stage for an exciting weekend in Italian football.
