AC Milan – Sassuolo

AC Milan host Sassuolo in what promises to be a tightly contested Serie A clash, with the Rossoneri perched in sixth place on eight points after two wins and two draws, boasting a modest +3 goal difference. Sassuolo sit just a spot below them in ninth, having collected seven points from two victories, a draw and a loss, and enjoy a slightly superior attacking record of eight goals, albeit offset by a -1 goal difference. Both sides will be eager to close the gap to the European spots, and the match could prove decisive given the narrow one‑point margin separating them. A win for either side would not only tighten the race for a top‑four finish but also widen the gap over their immediate rivals in the table.
