AC Milan vs Sassuolo

AC Milan and Sassuolo are set to face off against each other at the Stadio San Siro in an entertaining Serie A fixture.

Brimming with confidence following midweek’s 1-0 Champions League victory at Atletico Madrid, Milan will be looking to return to winning ways in Serie A after an action-packed 4-3 defeat at Fiorentina last time out. That reverse hindered Milan’s 12-game unbeaten start to this Serie A season (W10, D2), marking their second straight league match without a win (D1, L1). Coming back to the San Siro, where they’ve won five of their six Serie A games this season (D1) is welcoming, as Stefano Pioli’s men aim for vengeance for a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo in this exact fixture in April. But, it’s worth noting that ‘I Rossoneri’ have only won 50% of their top-flight H2Hs on home turf (W4, D2, L2), with three of the last four featuring under 2.5 total goals.

Meanwhile, after putting together two straight Serie A wins down the final stretch of October, Sassuolo have gone winless in their last three league outings (D1, L2), all of which saw over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. In turn, a high-scoring theme has highlighted Sassuolo’s Serie A away matches this season, with all six witnessing both sides on the scoresheet in matches garnering 3+ overall goals (W2, D1, L3). Though it promises plenty of excitement for neutrals, head coach Alessio Dionisi cannot be happy about his side’s lackluster defensive displays that have seen them let in 2+ goals in five of their six Serie A travels this season. Particularly vulnerable in the closing stages, ‘I Neroverdi’ have conceded at least once beyond the 75th minute in four of their six league road trips to date.
