Milan form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as Milan have scored 30 goals to get 33 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Serie A are 10-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

Milan shared the glory with Roma in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Saelemaekers was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Roma after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today? Leão (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.6/10. Leão served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 7 of 11 times and had 29 successful passes (of 35 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Lecce in a game that was won 2-0.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Milan home games with this odds we find 9 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 6 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Looking at the victories, 4 matches were won by at least two goals.

Low-scoring affair? In this club's last 12 league matches, 9 have contained less than three goals (under 2.5).

The match schedule is unforgiving for Milan as they have a new game in only three days, a Serie A match thankfully also at home. Lazio are visiting.

On the other hand, Milan have conceded 17 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
