AC Milan vs Sassuolo Prediction
AC Milan's unbeaten streak in the Serie A came to a crashing halt against Fiorentina last weekend. The Rossoneri have a few defensive issues to solve ahead of this game and will take plenty of confidence from their victory against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
Sassuolo are yet to hit their stride this season but are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset on their day. AC Milan are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: AC Milan 3-1 Sassuolo
