The Rossoneri have benefitted most from own-goals in the league, with four going their way, just ahead of Juventus, with three.

Milan (48.2%) and Juventus (45.3%) are two of the top four teams Serie A with the highest percentage of shots on goal.

Focus on Milan

Moise Kean has scored three of the last five goals at home for Juventus in Serie A, whilst Krzysztof Piatek has scored four of Milan's last six.

Excluding Diego Milito in 2008/09, the last player before Krzysztof Piatek to score at least 20 goals in his first Serie A season was Andriy Shevchenko in 1999/2000.

Piatek is still currently both Milan's top league goalscorer (seven) and Genoa's (13) - only one player in the history of Serie A has ended the season as the top scorer at two different teams: Alessandro Matri in 2010/11 (11 with Cagliari and nine with Juventus).

In the last round in the championship, against Udinese, Piatek scored his ninth goal in the shirt of Milan on his 12th apperance in all competitions. It's already one more than the goals scored by Gonzalo Higuaín in 22 matches with the Rossoneri.

After taking an active part in 12 goals in his first 11 appearances this campaign (four goals, eight assists), Suso only had a hand in a single Milan goal in his next 16 (vs Genoa).

The last seven goals by Patrick Cutrone in Serie A have all come at the San Siro, with the young striker's last away goal coming against Roma at the Olimpico in February 2018.

In the top five European leagues, only Virgil van Dijk (32) has played more games than Alessio Romagnoli (25) this season without ever having been overtaken with a dribble.
