From the last 4 away matches in Sardinia, Milan has always returned victorious. From 2-0 in 2019-2020 (Rafael Leao-Ibrahimovic) to 3-1 last season (Zito Luvumbo for the locals, Okafor, Tomori and Loftus-Cheek for the guests).
Not only that.
He has an OK series underway which has reached 6 matches, since 1-2 in 2017-2018 (Barella first, then a brace from Kessie).
However, this is not the Rossoneri’s strongest streak on the island.
In Serie A we find a series of 12 matches between 1999-2000 and 2014-2015; while there were as many as 13 between 1972-1973 and 1996-1997.
However, the open one has a better rhythm than the two just mentioned. Because – by standardizing the victories – in the longest the Devil he would have scored 23 points for an average of 1.7/match, in the second it was 26 for a pace that rose to 2.1/match, now he already has 16 and a cruising speed of 2.6/match.
Overall, the matches played at the home of the club amounted to 41 Casteddu. The accounting tells of 5 rossoblù successes, 17 X signs, 19 rossoneri successes.
The ranking sees Nicola’s boys with 9 points (2W – 3X – 6P with 9GF and 19GS), 5 of which on their own pitch (1W – 2X – 3P with 4GF and 11GS). After the draw at Juventus and the home success against Torino… here are 3 KOs in a row always with 2 goals conceded (from Udinese-Bologna-Lazio). Fonseca’s, with one match less, are at 17 (5W – 2X – 3P with 17GF and 11GS), of which 7 away (2W – 1X – 2P with 7GF and 7GS). They come from the three points in the regional derby with Monza and those in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
PS: in the last ten years the penalties called in Sardinia have only been taken by the AC Milan fans.
