AC Milan are back in action in the Serie A this weekend as they take on Benevento at the Municipal Stadium Ciro Vigorito on Sunday. The Rossoneri have been excellent this season and are the favourites to win this game.

Benevento are currently in 10th place in the Serie A table and have managed two consecutive victories in the league over the past week. The home side eased past Udinese by a 2-0 margin in its previous game and will have to put in a similar effort over the weekend.

AC Milan are currently at the top of the Serie A standings and have been excellent under Stefano Pioli this season. The Italian giants will face stiff competition over the next few months and need to put together another string of victories this year.

Benevento vs AC Milan Head-to-Head

Benevento have a surprisingly excellent record against AC Milan and have won one of the two matches played between the two teams. The Rossoneri have a dismal record against Sunday's opponents and cannot afford to slip up in this match.

The previous game between the two teams in 2018 ended in a narrow 1-0 victory for Benevento. AC Milan have improved over the past year and will likely put in a much better performance this weekend.
