Head-to-head statistics Milan - Sassuolo
Milan Team Overview
🔴 AC Milan head into the upcoming round in high spirits. Yes, they were knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Lazio (0-1) at the start of December, but this hasn't disrupted their rhythm. They've secured maximum points in their last three league matches. After 14 rounds, the Rossoneri sit atop the standings, maintaining their lead thanks to consistent performances and a formidable attacking line-up.
⚫ The last encounter was truly electrifying. Milan pulled off an incredible comeback away against Torino (3-2), despite trailing 0-2 by the 17th minute. After conceding twice, the team seized control, confidently dictating the pace and creating chance after chance. Christian Pulisic deserves special mention-when he's fit and in form, his impact on the game is immense. In Turin, he was the standout performer, scoring twice off the bench and effectively turning the match on its head.

Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview
🟢 Sassuolo also delivered a high-level performance in their last match. On December 6, they confidently defeated Fiorentina at home (3-1), rightfully claiming all three points. Even an early conceded goal-a penalty in the 9th minute-didn't unsettle the Neroverdi. Before the break, they not only equalized but also took the lead, largely thanks to the standout play of defender Tarik Muharemovic, who recorded both a goal and an assist.
⚫ In the league standings, Sassuolo sit in eighth place with 20 points, which is already a minor sensation. At the start of the season, the team's objective was straightforward: to secure their spot in Serie A after returning from the second tier. However, the Neroverdi now appear much more ambitious; they are just four points behind the top six, and their current form allows them to dream of competing for European spots if they can maintain this level of play.

Latest news
Milan
📣 AC Milan's assistant coach, Marco Landucci, who temporarily took the reins from Massimiliano Allegri, admitted with a smile after their hard-fought 3-2 victory over Torino that his perfect record was nearly jeopardized. He praised the team for their character and resilience, saying, "Today, I put my flawless record at risk. Credit to the guys-this team never gives up."
🚫 Milan are dealing with three player absences. Zakaria Ateka and Youssouf Fofana are recovering from groin and muscle injuries, respectively, and are expected to be fit by the end of December. The longest recovery period is for Rafael Leão, who is sidelined for nearly a year after an injury sustained in the previous round and will only return to the field by late December 2026.
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Sassuolo's head coach Fabio Grosso, following a commanding 3-1 home victory over Fiorentina, shared how he apologized to referee Luca Pairetto for his emotional outburst and emphasized that the tension remained on the pitch: "I apologized to Pairetto for my reaction. We discussed everything and embraced." Reflecting on the result, Grosso highlighted that the victory was well-earned: "A tough and deserved win. We did many things right."
🚫 Sassuolo are facing significant personnel challenges. Head coach Fabio Grosso will be absent from the sidelines after receiving a red card in the previous round. Domenico Berardi is still recovering from a thigh injury, with his return expected no earlier than the beginning of January. The participation of several players is in doubt-Filippo Romagna, Edoardo Pieragnolo, Laurs Skjellerup, as well as Aster Vranckx and Daniel Boloca-due to either muscle issues or physical ailments, and their readiness will be assessed closer to the match.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
AC Milan have been consistently strong in attack this season, finding the back of the net in nearly every league match. The only exception was a goalless draw against Juventus in early October, where the Rossoneri, despite the scoreline, dominated possession, created numerous chances, and even earned a penalty, yet couldn't convert. Sassuolo, on the other hand, have also been reliable in front of goal, scoring 19 times in 14 matches. In this scenario, betting on both teams to score (yes) seems like the most logical option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Although both Milan and Sassuolo look lively in attack, neither team frequently reaches the corner flag. The Rossoneri average 3.8 corners per match (14th in Serie A), while the Neroverdi average just 3.6 (16th position). Given these low figures, a bet on under 9.5 corners appears to be a sensible choice.
Editor's Prediction
According to the bookmakers, AC Milan are the clear favorites for the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that assessment. While Sassuolo impress with their play since returning from Serie B, their encounters with stronger opponents reveal a lack of quality needed to secure points against top teams: defeats to Napoli (0-2), Inter (1-2), Como (0-3 and 0-2), and Roma (0-1) are evidence of this shortfall. The Rossoneri, on the other hand, are in stellar form, sitting at the top of the table and simply cannot afford a slip-up in a home match against a newly promoted side. Therefore, we predict a Milan victory. We expect to see a scoreline of 2-1 on the board.
