AC Milan vs. Inter, the complete guide | OneFootball

At 20:45 CEST on Monday 22 April, Inter will face AC Milan at San Siro on matchday 33 in Serie A. Ahead of the clash, we delve into some fun facts and stats.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Inter and AC Milan are set to meet for the 180th time in Serie A: the Nerazzurri have 69 wins to their name compared to the Rossoneri's 54, with 56 draws completing the picture. Inter are the team AC Milan have suffered the most defeats and conceded the most goals against in the league. The Nerazzurri are on a brilliant run against their cross-city rivals: they've won the last five derby encounters in all competitions, which already represents a record for Inter. For the first time in history, the two sides will meet on a Monday. It means that following the upcoming encounter, the derby will have been played at least once on every day of the week. In the reverse fixture, Simone Inzaghi's men ran out 5-1 winners thanks to a Mkhitaryan brace and goals from Thuram, Calhanoglu and Frattesi.

NERAZZURRI NUMBERS

Simone Inzaghi are enjoying an extraordinary league campaign, as underlined by the numbers. Inter are unbeaten in 26 Serie A matches; only three times in their history have they gone on a longer undefeated run in the Italian top flight. The Nerazzurri have scored in each of their last 40 league matches, a Club record. Across the top five European divisions in 2023/24, Inter are the team to have conceded the fewest goals (17) and kept the most clean sheets (19). Finally, Inzaghi's side are one of the four teams yet to taste defeat on the road in the major European leagues this campaign (Bayer Leverkusen, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are the other three).

LAUTARO LOVES THE DERBY

Lautaro Martínez likes to take centre stage in matches against the Rossoneri: with eight goals to his name, he is Inter's third highest scorer ever in the Derby di Milano across all competitions; he only trails Giuseppe Meazza (12) and Stefano Nyers (11) in this regard. The Argentinian has scored 14 of his 23 Serie A goals this season away from home. Only two Inter players have done better than this in a single top-flight season: Romelu Lukaku (in 2019/20) and Stefano Nyers (1949/50) reached a tally of 15 on the road.

THURAM'S GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Marcus Thuram, who scored in the reverse fixture with a wonderful strike into the top corner, has been directly involved in 18 goals this league season, scoring eleven and providing seven assists. In the last 20 years, only four players have recorded more goal contributions than this in their first Serie A season with Inter.

THE EVER-PRESENT MKHITARYAN

Henrik Mkhitaryan is a key figure in Simone Inzaghi's side. The only time the Armenian has scored more than once in a single top-flight game for Inter was in this season's reverse fixture against AC Milan: he bagged a brace and provided an assist that day. The midfielder is the only player to have featured in all of the team's games this season, and he currently has nine goal contributions to his name: two goals and seven assists.

SUPER CALHANOGLU

A league season where his brilliant technical ability has been on full display. Hakan Çalhanoglu has become the second Inter midfielder to score at least eleven goals in a single Serie A season since the start of the three-points-per-win era, following in the footsteps of Ivan Perisic. Out of those who have converted all of the penalties they've taken in Serie A, Çalhanoglu has scored the most (15 out of 15).
