AC Milan vs Sassuolo Preview

Sassuolo, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Genoa last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

AC Milan vs Sassuolo Prediction
AC Milan have an impressive squad at their disposal but have been plagued by bouts of inconsistency so far this season. The likes of Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic can be effective on their day and will look to add to their goal tallies this weekend.
Sassuolo have been a shadow of their former selves this season but have troubled the Rossoneri in the recent past. AC Milan are in better form at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Sassuolo
