Taking a look at their past results, AC Milan:

• remain undefeated by Sassuolo when they have played them away from home in the previous 7 league games. Away fans have certainly had plenty to cheer about.

ℹ️ Team News: Sassuolo

Marcus Pedersen (unknown injury) and Domenico Berardi (Achilles tendon surgery) will be missing for Sassuolo gaffer Davide Ballardini.

It looks as if Sassuolo will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Andrea Consigli, Jeremy Toljan, Martin Erlic, Gian Marco Ferrari, Josh Doig, Uros Racic, Matheus Henrique, Gregoire Defrel, Kristian Thorstvedt, Armand Lauriente and Andrea Pinamonti.

ℹ️ Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Tommaso Pobega (Hamstring injury) and Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) miss out here.

We’re of the thinking that i Rossoneri seem likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Marco Sportiello, Alessandro Florenzi, Simon Kjaer, Malick Thiaw, Theo Hernandez, Yacine Adli, Yunus Musah, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao and Luka Jovic.

✨ Prediction

We’re envisaging that Sassuolo might need a bit of good fortune to score goals against this AC Milan lineup who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a hard-fought 0-1 winning margin for AC Milan at the end of the match.

Hoping for a good game.
