The next three players are considered key to Atalanta's offensive attack and it is likely that any of them could score in the match against AC Milan. Nigerian striker Ademola Lookman (#11), in the 2022-2023 season, has scored 12 goals, making him the team's top scorer. He will be very important for the game because of his experience and his control of the ball on the pitch. Another player is Jeremie Boga (#10), he plays in the forward position and is the team's top assister with 5 assists in 13 games played. He got his third assist last game and could get his fourth on Saturday. Finally, forward Rasmus Höjlund (#17) who is a very important player for creating dangerous plays. He is the team's third highest scorer this season with 6 goals in 19 games played and we could see him get his seventh goal against AC Milan.

They arrive as the least favorites to win this game, however they could surprise and win.
There are three AC Milan players we should keep an eye on and who play a very important role in the team. The first is striker Olivier Giroud (#9), he is the team's top scorer in Serie A with 7 goals in 21 games played and scored in the last game against Dinamo Zagreb. Another player is Rafael Leão (#17), he plays in the forward position and at the age of 23 is the team's highest assister in the Italian league with 5 assists in 22 games. And finally, we should keep an eye on striker Ante Rebic (#12), he is the team's fourth highest scorer with three goals in just 14 games played in Serie A.
