Sassuolo take on AC Milan this weekend

The Serie A is back in action this weekend as AC Milan take on Sassuolo at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore on Sunday. AC Milan are currently at the top of the Serie A standings and are the favourites to win the game.

Sassuolo are in sixth place in the Serie A table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. Roberto De Zerbi has done an excellent job at the club so far and will want to prove a point against the league leaders this weekend.

AC Milan have experienced a slump in recent weeks and need to defeat Sassuolo this weekend. The Rossoneri have a narrow one-point lead over arch-rivals Inter Milan and cannot afford to drop points in this match.


Sassuolo vs AC Milan Head-to-Head

AC Milan have a good recent record against Sassuolo and have won 10 games out of the last 18 matches played between the two teams. Sassuolo have managed only five victories against the Rossoneri and need to step up to the plate in this fixture.

The previous meeting between the two teams ended in a hard-fought 2-1 victory for AC Milan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored both goals for the Rossoneri on the day but might not feature in this match.

Sassuolo vs AC Milan Prediction

AC Milan have a formidable squad and have shown tremendous improvement under Stefano Pioli over the past few months. The Rossoneri have missed Zlatan Ibrahimovic, however, and the likes of Ante Rebic and Alexis Saelemaekers will have to step up to the plate in this game.

Sassuolo have been impressive this season but will face an uphill task against Stefano Pioli's outfit. AC Milan have been excellent this season and hold all the cards going into this match.

Prediction: Sassuolo 1-3 AC Milan
