KEY STATISTICS
– Inter have won their last four Serie A games against Milan: the Nerazzurri have only had one longer streak at the Milan Derby between 1979 and 1983 (five wins in a row).
– Inter are unbeaten in nine Serie A home games against Milan (6 wins and 3 draws): the Nerazzurri’s record for consecutive games without a home loss to the Rossoneri is 10 (their first 10 in the competition).
– Inter have won seven points in their first three Serie A games this season (G2 D1): In five of their last seven Serie A seasons, the Nerazzurri have been undefeated in their first four games.
– With the exception of Atalanta (56), Milan (54) and Inter (47) are the two teams that have won the most points in Serie A in 2020. In this period, the Rossoneri have conceded the fewest goals among the teams present in both seasons (22 goals).
– Milan have scored in each of their last 23 league games and haven’t conceded in the last four. The last time they had a longest scoring streak was in 1973, while the last time they had a longest shutout streak was in 2006.
– Milan have won their first three games this season in Serie A, while the last time they won the first four games of the season in competition was in 1995/96, with Fabio Capello.
– The next victory will be AC Milan’s 1,400th victory in Serie A (including winning matches). The Rossoneri could become the third team to reach this milestone after Juventus and Inter.
– Antonio Conte could become the first manager in Inter’s history to win his first three derbies against Milan (considering all competitions).
– His next game will be Aleksandar Kolarov’s 350th appearance in Serie A and the Premier League (and 300th as a starter) – however, only against Tottenham (10 games) did the Inter defender play more league games without being involved in a goal than against Milan (nine).
– AC Milan are one of four teams that Inter forward Romelu Lukaku scored in both games last season and could become the first team to concede a goal to the Belgian in three Serie A games.
– Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been involved in five goals in four Serie A derbies with Milan (four goals and one assist), all with Inter at home; they have lost three of those four games to the Nerazzurri.
