AC Milan wants to keep pace with Roma and Juventus as they currently sit third in the Serie A table. They are coming off a 1-0 loss against Roma on Monday as Radja Nainggolan scored the winner in the 62nd minute.
Milan manager Vincenzo Montella has been praised for making most of the youngsters in the squad. He is also looking forward to facing Atalanta on Saturday. He told Football Italia that The Bergamaschi are a strong side in the league this season.
"Atalanta have shown recently that they're a very strong team, it will be a very difficult game. The Bergamaschi have some very good youngsters, there's a very well run club and a very good coach," Montella said.
"They've managed to build something which works well, I've seen their games and what they show is a team with few weaknesses. We'll have to prepare well and be at our best to win," he added.
Atalanta, on the other hand, are coming off two-straight losses against Juventus and Udinese. The Bergamaschi currently sits sixth in the table as they have won nine games out of their 16 games this season.
