- KO: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: San Siro
The San Siro is the venue for a Serie A fixture on Friday evening as league leaders AC Milan take on bottom-of-the-table Pisa.
Two sides in contrasting form come head-to-head this weekend with Milan looking to extend their lead at the top of the division against an opponent still searching for their first top flight win of the century.
Friday´s matchup marks the first meeting between these sides in over 30 years, and given recent form, a home win seems a near foregone conclusion this weekend.
H2H stats
AC Milan and Pisa meet for the first time since 1991, with the Rossoneri dominant in past encounters. Milan have won eight of the nine previous meetings, keeping clean sheets in all but one.
AC Milan team overview
AC Milan head into Friday’s Serie A clash full of confidence after a 2:1 comeback win over Fiorentina last weekend, with Rafael Leão scoring both goals for Massimiliano Allegri’s side.
The Rossoneri are unbeaten in seven matches since their shock home loss to Cremonese in August, winning six and drawing once with Juventus.
Defensive solidity has been key to their impressive form with five clean sheets in the last seven league outings and just four goals conceded all season. Milan sit top of Serie A, holding a narrow one-point lead over rivals Inter.
Head coach Allegri has a lengthy injury list ahead of this weekend's Serie A matchup. Ardon Jashari, Adrien Rabiot, Christian Pulisic, Christopher Nkunku, Pervis Estupiñán and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all expected to remain sidelined for the Serie A leaders.

Pisa team overview
Pisa travel to Milan still chasing their first Serie A win since earning promotion. Alberto Gilardino’s side have managed goalless draws in two of their last three matches but remain winless after seven games this season.
Goals have been their biggest issue, with only three scored all campaign and none in the last four outings. Defensive frailties on the road also persist, having shipped ten goals in three away fixtures, including a heavy defeat at Bologna.
Head coach Alberto Gilardino will again be without Calvin Stengs, Tomás Esteves, Mateus Lusuardi and Giacomo Maucci, who all remain sidelined through injury.
