AC Milan
AC Milan suffered their worst defeat of the season in the previous round after losing to Lazio at the Olimpico by 0-4. With that loss, the Rossoneri ended a six-match unbeaten run bringing their winless run to three games.
Coach Stefano Pioli must find solutions for his team’s defensive problems as they conceded two or more goals in each of their last three matches. Moreover, the Rossoneri were able to have a clean sheet in two of their nine home games.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo came out of a four-match losing streak with a 1-1 draw at Monza in the previous round. With that, Sassuolo raised their points tally to 17 in the 17th position, five points above the relegation zone. The Neroverdi are winless in their last eight league fixtures.

However, that average decreased by 72% in the previous eight matches as they collected 0.25 points per game. The Neroverdi conceded at least a goal in each of their last 11 matches.
AC Milan have been faring very well playing at the Meazza in the last five games winning four and drawing one. Sassuolo won in the last two visits to the Meazza but they obviously are not of the same strength. Thus, we expect the Rossoneri to maintain their home form and win this one.
AC Milan are averaging 2.44 goals per match when playing at the Giuseppe Meazza and scored two or more goals in the last five home games. Sassuolo conceded two or more goals in four of their previous five away games. With odds of 1.41 at 1xBet, we predict Milan to score over 1.5 goals.
