"Milan have thus far beaten Napoli, Fiorentina, Bologna, Inter, Lazio and Roma in the six-pointers thus far in 2025-26. All of these wins came by one goal too, showing that they really are edging the direct clashes with some defensive resilience. The two draws came against Atalanta and Juventus, both away from home. The fact that they are yet to lose against one of last season's top nine sides speaks volumes regarding the mentality that Allegri has instilled."
"Looking at 2024-25 - under Paulo Fonseca until the new year and then Sergio Conceicao - a remarkable transformation is evident. In head-to-head games in the last campaign, Milan took a meagre 11 out of 48 points available, which is an average of just 0.69 points per game. Looking at the league panorama this season, Milan have taken 83% of points available against sides also in the top five."
"So, the Rossoneri are great in the 'six-pointer' games against the sides around them, but the other side of the coin is the points that they have left on the table against teams they should be beating easily on paper. The Cremonese defeat in round one plus the draws against Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo led to the media even speaking about a hoodoo against the smaller teams, one the Verona win will hopefully help them shake off."
AC Milan are unbeaten in head-to-head matches this Serie A season, collecting 35 points from 17 games and winning six of eight direct clashes with two draws. The Rossoneri defeated Napoli, Fiorentina, Bologna, Inter, Lazio and Roma, all by one-goal margins, and drew away at Atalanta and Juventus. The team’s head-to-head form contrasts sharply with 2024-25, when Milan earned only 11 of 48 points in similar matches. Milan have claimed 83% of available points against current top-five sides while dropping points against smaller opponents including Cremonese, Pisa, Parma and Sassuolo.
