Milan vs Sassuolo – Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview | OneFootball

Sunday’s Serie A action kicks off at the San Siro as title-bidding Milan take on newly promoted Sassuolo. The home side’s pursuit of a landmark 20th Scudetto continued to go swimmingly earlier this week, as they head into proceedings sitting at the top of the table.

Milan found themselves trailing Torino by two goals in the opening 20 minutes, yet they pulled off a stunning comeback to claim a 3-2 victory in Turin. In doing so, Massimiliano Allegri’s side overtook Napoli at the table’s summit. However, there’s nothing but goal difference to separate the teams ahead of this round.

Nonetheless, the Rossoneri will take the field in high spirits after going unbeaten in their last 13 league matches (W9, D4). Yet, they would be naive to take Sassuolo for granted, with the visitors sitting only four points adrift of the European spots following an impressive 3-1 win over Fiorentina last weekend.

Full-Time Result

Despite going unbeaten since their opening-day home loss to Cremonese, Milan have underperformed against Serie A’s newcomers. In addition to a 2-1 defeat to La Cremo, they shared the spoils with Pisa in a dramatic 2-2 draw at this stadium, putting themselves at risk of starting the season with three consecutive winless games against newcomers since 2014/15.

Keen to avoid that unwanted feat, Milan can draw confidence from their stellar home form. That stalemate against Pisa remains the only blemish in their last seven outings at the San Siro, where they beat Roma and Lazio in their two November fixtures by a narrow 1-0 scoreline.

Seeking back-to-back league wins for only the second time this season, Sassuolo will be out to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat at Como on their last Serie A travel. Ominously, that result forms part of the Neroverdi’s underwhelming record of four losses against current top-six clubs this season, highlighting the size of the task ahead.

On the bright side, Fabio Grosso’s side emerged victorious from three of their four Serie A away games before that loss at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (D1). Further confidence stems from Sassuolo’s remarkable run of just one defeat from their last five top-flight visits to Milan (W3, D1).

However, Allegri’s men are in a prime position to buck that negative trend on Sunday, though Sassuolo probably won’t go down without a fight.

Over/Under Market

Defensive resilience has been key to Milan’s home success this season, with the Rossoneri conceding a league-low one first-half goal at the San Siro so far. With that in mind, one would expect their home matches to be low-scoring.

Against this backdrop, 57% of Milan’s Serie A home games have featured over 2.5 goals, including two against newly promoted sides. Meanwhile, two of Sassuolo’s last three away league clashes have produced 3+ goals, making it hard to overlook the possibility of a high-scoring contest.
