FOCUS ON MILAN VS JUVENTUS

Published on: 07 October 2022

* AC Milan are the side against which Juventus have drawn (56) and won (51) the most Serie A matches: they have won 67 of their 174 meetings against the Rossoneri.

* AC Milan and Juventus drew both of their Serie A matches last season, only twice in their history have they drawn at least three games in a row in the competition: between 1972 and 1973 (four) and between 1938 and 1939 (four).

* AC Milan have gone unbeaten in four of their last five Serie A meetings against Juventus (W2 D2) after having lost 13 of the previous 14 (W1).

* Juventus have won six of their last nine Serie A meetings against AC Milan at the Meazza Stadium (D1 L2), scoring twice the number of goals that they have conceded in the process (14 vs 7).

* AC Milan (two) and Juventus (four) are two of the three sides to have lost the fewest Serie A matches in 2022, alongside Napoli (three), considering the teams to have played both seasons in the process.

* After having won six successive Serie A home matches, AC Milan lost their last game at the San Siro Stadium; under Stefano Pioli, they have never lost two such games in a row (the last time was back in September 2019, under Marco Giampaolo).

* Juventus have picked up two points in three Serie A away matches this season (D2 L1): in the previous 40 Serie A campaigns, only in 1993/94 have they failed to win each of their first four such games in a single season.

* Since he joined AC Milan in 2019/20, Ante Rebic has scored four goals against Juventus in all competitions, no other player has scored more against them in the period (also four Giovanni Simeone and Ruslan Malinovskyi).

* Rafael Leão has been involved in the most Serie A goals in 2022 (22: 11 goals + 11 assists) - since 2004/05, only two AC Milan players have had a hand in more league goals in a single calendar year: Kaká in 2008 (27: 15+12) and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2020 (26: 20+6).

* This match will see two of the three players with the best mins/goals ratio in Serie A this season (min. 2 goals): Ante Rebic (one goal every 49 on average) and Arkadiusz Milik (one goal every 78) – the other one is Beto (one every 66 minutes).

* Only at the Mapei Stadium (four) has Dusan Vlahovic played more Serie A matches without finding the net than at the Meazza (three matches).
