Our predictions for AC Milan vs Sassuolo

Match Prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Sassuolo

AC Milan's recent form suggests a strong performance against Sassuolo. With five wins in their last six matches, including a convincing 3-2 victory over Torino, Milan's confidence is high. Their predicted 3-5-2 formation, featuring key players like Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek, should provide the necessary firepower and midfield control to dominate the game.

Sassuolo, on the other hand, have been inconsistent, with their recent results showing a mix of wins, losses, and draws. Their 4-3-3 setup, led by Thorstvedt and Pinamonti, could pose a threat on the counter, but their defensive frailties, as seen in the loss to Como, might be exploited by Milan's attacking prowess.

AC Milan's predicted 3-5-2 formation will likely see Tomori, Gabbia, and Pavlović forming a solid defensive line, while Saelemaekers and Bartesaghi provide width and support from the flanks. The attacking duo of Nkunku and Pulisic, supported by Loftus-Cheek, should exploit any gaps in Sassuolo's defence.

Sassuolo (4-3-3)

  • Predicted lineup: Muric (GK), Walukiewicz (DF), Idzes (DF), Muharemovic (DF), Doig (DF), Thorstvedt (MF), Matic (MF), Kone (MF), Volpato (AT), Pinamonti (AT), Lauriente (AT)

Sassuolo's predicted 4-3-3 formation will rely on the defensive stability of Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemovic, and Doig. The midfield trio of Thorstvedt, Matic, and Kone will need to control the game's tempo, while the attacking line of Volpato, Pinamonti, and Lauriente will look to exploit any opportunities on the break.

Key Battles & Players to Watch
