Milan vs Sassuolo Prediction: Will the home team be able to rehabilitate themselves?

Milan has suffered two defeats in a row - to Inter and Lazio. Will Stefano Pioli's team be able to rehabilitate themselves in a home game against Sassuolo?

Milan

The Rossoneri had conceded seven goals without scoring once in their two previous matches. First, Milan lost 0:3 to Inter in the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. And then lost in Rome in the championship match against Lazio (0:4). So, AC Milan has only one win this year: they beat Salernitana away (2:1) in their first league game since the World Cup break. In addition, they 2023 managed to drop out of the Italian Cup, losing to Torino in extra time, and played twice 2:2 in the national championship - with Lecce and Roma. Milan has big problems at the start of the second part of the season. However, it is still second in Serie A, having taken advantage of Inter's misfires and Juventus' virtual disqualification from the medal race.

Sassuolo

The Neroverdi managed to score important points in the previous round. They drew 1:1 away against a tough Monza side. Sassuolo broke their streak of four straight defeats in the Italian league in which the Black and Green lost to Bologna, Sampdoria, Fiorentina, and Lazio by a combined score of 1:9. Sassuolo is 17th in the Serie A standings and currently only five points ahead of the relegation zone.

Expert Betting Tips

Milan suffered an extremely painful defeat at the hands of Lazio last round, conceding four unanswered goals. However, it should be noted that only a few days before, Stefano Pioli's team had a meeting for the Super Cup in Italy, which took a lot of energy. And not only AC Milan - Inter also lost to Empoli at home last weekend. In the meeting with Sassuolo, the Rossoneri will probably look a lot better. Moreover, Sassuolo itself is very weak this season.
