AC Milan vs Verona

Milan achieved two successes in a row with a clean sheet in Serie A for the first time since March 2023 (against Lazio and Empoli); more generally, the Rossoneri have won two consecutive matches in the tournament for the first time since last September (three in that case).

Santiago Giménez became the third player to score in each of his first two Serie A appearances for Milan in the three points for a win era, among those in their debut season in the competition, after Andriy Shevchenko in September 1999 and Christian Pulisic in August 2023.

Rafael Leão has been involved in 100 goals in the Big-5 European leagues (60 goals and 40 assists); the Portuguese had a hand in five home goals against Hellas Verona in Serie A (three goals and two winning passes) and against no other team he has been involved in so many goals at home in the tournament.

Milan have won each of their last eight Serie A matches against Hellas Verona; the Rossoneri have only managed to record a longest consecutive winning streak against four opponents in their history in the competition: 13 against Chievo, 10 against Novara, 10 against Pescara and nine against Siena.

Hellas Verona have never won away against Milan (D13 L19) nor against Inter; since their first Serie A season in 1957/58, they’ve played the most times at a single stadium (San Siro) without winning: 24 draws and 41 defeats in 65 previous such matches.

Although Hellas Verona have scored only one goal in the last three matches against Milan in Serie A, the Venetians have scored 66 goals overall against the Rossoneri in the competition, only against Fiorentina (71) have they scored more (also 66 against Lazio).

Milan have won 11 of their last 15 Serie A matches against opponents in the bottom six positions of the table at the start of the matchday (D4).

Hellas Verona have remained unbeaten in four of their last five Serie A away games (W3 D1), after recording a run of six consecutive away defeats in the competition.
