Sassuolo - AC Milan: Form Analysis
The Rossoneri managed to get a resounding win against Bologna last time out, beating them 2-0 at the San Siro. Milan are in an excellent groove at the moment, being unbeaten in their last nineteen league games and losing last to Spezia at the end of January. What is also remarkable is Milan’s impressive defensive performance during that run, with Pioli’s team having kept twelve clean sheets in those nineteen games. When it comes to away form, Milan are equally impressive, having lost just once in their last fifteen competitive outings. Sassuolo have started the league in mixed fashion, but Dionisi’s ability to get the best out of a talented squad leaves little doubt it will not be a disappointing campaign. After resoundingly losing 3-0 in the Serie A’s first round to Juventus, the Neroverdi beat Lecce at home before drawing at Spezia in their most recent game. What should concern the hosts however is their poor defensive performance of late. They have conceded in fifteen of their last sixteen competitive games, while they have only kept two clean sheets in their last twelve home encounters as well. To add to that, their record against Milan at the Mapei is quite poor, having lost all of their last six games there, failing to score in three of those.
Alessio Dionisi has been building an attack-minded team to best exploit the talent at his disposal, using mainly a 4-3-3 system. The departure of Scamacca has definitely influenced Sassuolo, who have however found solace in Andrea Pinamonti, who scored against Spezia and tends to lead the attack in recent games, served by Berardi and Greek ace Kyriakopoulos. The Neroverdi will be without Muldur and Traoré for this game. For Stefano Pioli, thé Tomori and Kalulu partnership at centre back produced their first clean sheet of the season, with the Ivorian likely to be used again until Simon Kjaer fully returns to match fitness. Newly-acquired attacking midfielder Charles De Ketelaere impressed during Bologna providing an assist, while Leao and Giroud are always worth a goal, especially against this frail Sassuolo defence. With regards to absentees, besides Zlatan’s injury absence, only Krunic is questionable for this game.
Sassuolo - AC Milan Key Points
Six of Sassuolo’s last nine competitive games have seen both teams score

Sassuolo vs AC Milan - Other Interesting Predictions
Both Teams To Score
Sassuolo are frail defensively but certainly know the way to score at the Mapei. Milan have already conceded in two of their first three league games and against a tough offensive team, Pioli’s men could certainly both score and concede, with both teams to score being a great alternative value bet.
