AC Milan – Sunderland

AC Milan host Sunderland in what promises to be a decisive clash in the league table, with the Rossoneri sitting sixth on eight points after two wins and two draws, boasting a solid 7‑4 goal difference. Sunderland, languishing in 14th place with just four points from one win, one draw and two defeats, have struggled offensively, managing only three goals while conceding five. The home side will look to extend their unbeaten run and tighten their grip on the top half, whereas the visitors need a result to climb out of the lower tier and improve their goal balance. Both teams enter the fixture aware that a win could significantly reshape the mid‑table dynamics.
