AC Milan will play Pisa for the 20th time in their history tonight, and it will be a first meeting in Tuscany in 35 years.
The first ever meeting dates back to the old Italian First Division in 1923-24, when a 2-2 draw in the away game was followed by a 5-1 home win for the Rossoneri in their home leg. Since then, the fixture has been quite one-sided, which is understandable.
Earlier this season, Pisa were moments away from a famous win at San Siro when Juan Cuadrado and Mbala Nzola scored following Rafael Leao’s early opener, but then Zachary Athekame’s equaliser resulted in late heartache and a 2-2 draw.
The last time that Milan played away against Pisa was back in 1990-91, as Paolo Maldini scored a rare winner in a 1-0 victory. Our pre-match preview has the latest team news and we have published further insight on Oscar Hiljemark’s side, while below are the best stats.
