AC Milan turn head-to-head clashes from weakness to strength - the numbers
"Milan have been outstanding in the 'six-pointer' games thus far in 2025-26. Looking at the table, Massimiliano Allegri's side have already played the other sides in the top five places, and they emerged victorious in all four games. Not only that, but in those four games they won three of them 1-0 (against Bologna, Roma and most recently Inter) while winning the other 2-1 against Napoli."
"Milan's record in the games against European rivals has drastically improved. In fact, the average points per game has gone from 0.69 (11 points out of 48 available) in 2024-25 to 2.4 (17 points out of 21) this season. Roma are currently top of the standings and they have gone from 1.12 to 1.8 PPG in direct clashes. Napoli remained stable, going from 1.88 (30 points out of 48) to 1.8. Atalanta saw the biggest decline, going from 1.69 to 0.75 points per game."
Milan have beaten all other teams currently in the top five this season, recording three 1-0 wins (Bologna, Roma, Inter) and a 2-1 victory over Napoli. Milan conceded no goals from open play in those direct clashes; Kevin De Bruyne's penalty was the only goal conceded. Milan lead the head-to-head ranking with 17 points from seven games. Roma, Napoli and Inter sit behind with nine points each across varying numbers of matches. Milan's points-per-game versus rivals jumped from 0.69 in 2024-25 to 2.4 this season, while Atalanta experienced the largest PPG decline.
