Dinamo Zagreb have lost all six of their previous meetings with Milan in all competitions, most recently suffering a 4-0 home defeat in the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League group stage.

Milan have won each of their six games against Dinamo Zagreb, their longest ever winning run against a team in European competition; AC have scored at least three goals in each of their three away trips to face the Croatian side.

Dinamo Zagreb are winless in their last five home matches in the UEFA Champions League (D3 L2), only once suffering a longer run without a home victory in the competition – seven games between October 1999 and December 2012. 

Following victories over Real Madrid (3-1) and Slovan Bratislava (3-2), Milan will be aiming to win three consecutive away games in the UEFA Champions League for the first time since September-December 2000 (3), then under Alberto Zaccheroni.

Milan have won their final group/league game in each of their previous two UEFA Champions League campaigns (4-0 v RB Salzburg in 2022-23 and 2-1 v Newcastle in 2023-24), having failed to do so in each of their six seasons beforehand (D3 L3), dating back to 2009-10.

Dinamo Zagreb have failed to score in each of their last three matches in the UEFA Champions League (D1 L2), last suffering a longer such drought in December 2016 (a run of eight). They’ve also failed to find the net in three of their last four home matches in the competition, including a 0-4 defeat to Milan in October 2022.

No team have conceded more penalties in the UEFA Champions League this season than Dinamo Zagreb (4), with all four of those being converted. The last team to concede more goals from penalties in a single campaign in the competition was Milan in 2011-12 (5).

Christian Pulisic has been directly involved in five goals in his last six starts for Milan in the UEFA Champions League (four goals, one assist). If he scores or assists in this match, he’ll register a new single season-high for goal involvements in a Champions League campaign (currently on four – three goals, one assist).

Sandro Kulenovic has scored three goals for Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League this season, while only one player has ever netted more in a single campaign in the competition for them (4 by Mislav Orsic in 2019-20).

Milan’s Rafael Leão has completed 26 dribbles in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most of any player (level with Morgan Rogers). The Portuguese has netted three times in the competition this term, already equalling his goal tally from 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 combined (3).
