Serie A action continues as AC Milan travels to the Mapei Stadium to face the struggling Sassuolo.
Match Preview
Despite a recent setback, AC Milan has had an overall excellent season, consistently performing well. Their recent defeat came at home against fellow Serie A side Roma in the Europa League at the San Siro.
However, Milan sits comfortably in second place, winning all five of their recent league matches. In their last outing, they secured a 3-0 victory against Lecce, with goals from Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Olivier Giroud.
Prior to that, Milan defeated Fiorentina with goals from Leao and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Pulisic found the net in a win against Empoli. They also secured a 1-0 victory against Lazio with a goal from Noah Okafor.
Milan’s last dropped points came in a home game against Atalanta, and their last defeat was a 3-2 loss away to Rennes in the Europa League.
However, they advanced in that playoff tie with an aggregate score of 5-3 and dominated Slavia Praha with a 7-3 win in the round of 16.
Another Champions League spot seems almost certain for Milan, as they trail behind rivals Inter Milan by 14 points but boast a strong goal-scoring record, having scored 60 goals in Serie A.
On the contrary, Sassuolo continues to struggle in Serie A, with their chances of winning appearing bleak.
The club finds themselves in the relegation zone after winning only six league games. They trail Hellas Verona, who occupy the 17th spot, by two points.
Sassuolo managed to secure a 2-2 draw with Salernitana in their last outing and drew 1-1 with Udinese before that.
Although they managed a victory against Frosinone, they suffered losses to Verona and Roma in their recent matches.
Prediction & Analysis:
Considering Milan’s dominant form and Sassuolo’s struggles, we anticipate a convincing victory for the Rossoneri, with the likelihood of over 2.5 goals scored in the match.
