In their final match of 2023, AC Milan will welcome Sassuolo for an Italian Serie A encounter on Saturday. The two are operating from opposite ends of the league standings, Sassuolo 15th and Milan third. Hosts Milan will seek to close in on the leading pack, coming into this game seven points behind second placed Juventus. Milan earned a point in their last outing, after ending it 2-2 with Salernitana away from home. Luka Jovic struck in stoppage time to see Milan take a point after their early lead was canceled out. The result denied Milan a third straight win and a chance to close the year on a high. Here though, they will be looking to register a fourth straight win at home in the league. In each of their last two league matches, Milan scored three times. All of Milan’s last four matches produced over 2.5 goals.

Sassuolo, like Milan, will hope to close the year on a high, even though they haven't had a great run coming here. The visitors have avoided defeat to Milan in their last two meetings and have recently had a good run against Milan. In their last five meetings, Sassuolo have registered three wins. However, their form coming into this game is not the best. They’ve failed to win any of their last four matches, losing three of them. Sassuolo haven't also been the strongest in defence, conceding at least two goals in each of their last seven matches. All of those seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals. The high scoring nature of their matches has also seen each of the last four away from home produce over 2.5 goals. While Sassuolo have conceded in each of their last seven matches, they’ve also scored in all the matches.
