Tactical Notes

AC Milan should try to control the first phase of possession and stop the game from becoming too loose through midfield.

Atalanta are more dangerous if the game turns open after turnovers, so the first confirmed team-news changes are the obvious tactical pressure point.

Market watch level: medium — driven by major-club interest, source activity.
