✅ Stats before the game. Milan have scored in eight consecutive games against Fiorentina in Serie A; only once have the Rossoneri recorded a longer streak against Viola in the history of the competition: 10 in a row between 1947 and 1951. Fiorentina have won only three of their last 16 Serie A home games (D6 L7) against Milan, however managing to take all three points from last season’s match (4-3, a match which saw Zlatan’s last brace Ibrahimovic in the competition). Fiorentina come to this match from 3-0 against Verona; Viola could achieve back-to-back Serie A successes without conceding a goal for the first time since January 2020, on that occasion against SPAL and Napoli. Considering all competitions, Milan have won their last four matches without conceding a goal; only four times in its history, the AC Milan team has scored five wins in a row with ‘clean sheets’: in 1964, in 2003, in 2017 and most recently in 2018 with Gennaro Gattuso.
