(Reuters) - AC Milan have returned to winning ways and get a chance to consolidate their position in the top four on Sunday but they face a tough test when they host Atalanta in Serie A.
Milan climbed back into the Champions League spots after winning 1-0 at Monza on Saturday, their third consecutive win in all competitions after a run of seven games without a victory.
However, reigning champions Milan have not yet won four successive games this season and the last time they enjoyed more victories in a row without conceding was five years ago. However, Milan's top-four push faces a hurdle when they host Atalanta, who are also pushing for a European spot. "It is more difficult to play against Milan than Lecce, but it depends also on how it starts," Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini said after their 2-1 loss at home to Lecce.Lecce took the lead in the fourth minute at Atalanta last weekend, scoring with their only two shots on target in the game.Napoli have scored 56 goals and conceded only 15 in the league this season - the most scored and fewest conceded in the top flight this term.
