Sassuolo: Capable of Beating Anyone
Alberto Aquilani’s side have had a mixed start, collecting seven points from five matches. The standout result was a thrilling 3-2 win over Juventus, which proved this team can rise to the big occasion.
Consistency has been the issue. Sassuolo went into the international break on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Monza, who were picking up their first win of the season. That kind of result shows how quickly Sassuolo can switch off, and Aquilani will want a sharper performance in front of the home crowd.
The main threat remains Domenico Berardi. The veteran forward loves playing against Milan, with 12 goals in 20 Serie A appearances against them. Any Milan defender facing him on Sunday will know exactly what is coming.
Sassuolo team news
Midfielder Ismael Kone is out injured, which takes away energy and ball-carrying from the middle of the park. Nemanja Matic is expected to anchor the midfield, with Berardi and Armand Lauriente providing the width in attack.
Milan: Amorim’s Unbeaten Start
Milan have settled quickly under Ruben Amorim. They are unbeaten in Serie A with three wins and two draws, including a 1-1 draw with Juventus and a convincing win over Lecce in their last league game before the break. That record puts them firmly in the early title conversation, just two points off the top going into the weekend.
Amorim’s side have been difficult to beat, and the midfield pairing of Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot gives them experience and control. In attack, Goncalo Ramos and Christian Pulisic have the quality to punish any defensive lapses.
Milan team news
Alexis Saelemaekers is out with an ankle injury, a blow for Amorim given his versatility on the right. Pervis Estupinan picked up a knock while on international duty but is expected to be available. Otherwise, Milan have most of their squad to choose from.
Head-to-Head Record
This fixture has been surprisingly even in recent years. Sassuolo have a habit of raising their level against Milan, and Berardi’s record against the Rossoneri is one of the best of any active Serie A player. Milan fans will also remember that this ground was where they clinched the 2021/22 Scudetto with a 3-0 win, so the venue holds mixed memories for them.
Betting Analysis
Milan are the stronger side on paper and come into the game in far better form. However, Sassuolo’s home performances and their attacking threat through Berardi mean Milan are unlikely to keep things quiet at the back. At the same time, Sassuolo’s defensive lapses, as seen against Monza, give Milan’s forwards plenty of encouragement.
That combination points towards goals at both ends. Milan’s quality should give them the edge, but a clean sheet looks unlikely.
Our Prediction: Sassuolo vs Milan
Main pick: Both teams to score (GG). Sassuolo have the attacking quality to hurt Milan at home, and Milan have enough firepower to score against a defence that has looked fragile at times.
Alternative pick: Milan win. Amorim’s side are unbeaten and in better form, and for punters who want a result market, the away win is the stronger option.
Correct score lean: Sassuolo 1-2 Milan.
