Stramaccioni's first showdown with Allegri

This is the first time Andrea Stramaccioni and Massimiliano Allegri have met in a competitive fixture.

Stramaccioni v AC Milan

Andrea Stramaccioni is taking part in a Milan derby for the first time as a professional coach.

Allegri against Inter

This is the 9th time Allegri has taken on Inter in competitive fixtures as a coach: The current Rossoneri boss has won 4, matchups. Since Allegri took over at AC Milan, there has been no derby draws: 3 wins for Allegri, 1 for the Nerazzurri.

No derby draws since 2004

The last time a competitive match between the two Milan sides finished all square was on 24 October 2004, when a goalless draw was played out at in a Serie A fixture at the Meazza (AC Milan "at home"). In the 17 competitive fixtures played since then, there have been 8 Nerazzurri wins and 9 for the Rossoneri.

Serie A 2011/12: Inter's record number of penalties against; AC Milan biggest 'penalty difference'

With the penalty awarded to Fiorentina on 22 April, Inter have had 10 penalties given against them in 35 matches this season. This not only means the Nerazzurri - and Cesena - have had the most penalties given against them in Serie A 2011/12, it also sets a new club record in a single Serie A season since the start of a unified top flight in Italy: the previous record of 9 penalties was established in 1985/86. AC Milan are one of three sides in Serie A 2011/12, along with Catania and Napoli, to have been awarded the most penalties: 9, all of which were converted. The Rossoneri are also one of two teams (the other is Napoli) to have conceded just a single spot kick. AC Milan and Napoli therefore share the record 'penalty difference' this term: +8.

Julio Cesar, 300 times with the Nerazzurri

If he plays today, Julio Cesar Soares Espindola will make his 300th appearance in a competitive fixture in Italy - all in Nerazzurri colours. His 299 appearances to date are divided as follows: 227 in Serie A, 10 in the Coppa Italia, 54 in European competition and 8 in other tournaments. Julio Cesar made his 'Italian' debut on 10 August 2005 in a Champions League qualifier: Shakthar Donetsk 0-2 Inter.
