AC Milan Chases Top Four in Crucial Sassuolo Encounter
3 May
Summary
- AC Milan aims for a top-four finish in Serie A.
- Sassuolo seeks a top-10 finish with recent good form.
- Milan has the edge in head-to-head history against Sassuolo.
Sassuolo will host AC Milan at Mapei Stadium in a significant Serie A fixture scheduled for Sunday. AC Milan, currently third in the standings, is determined to secure a top-four finish by avoiding any dropped points. Sassuolo, sitting on 46 points, is also vying for a respectable top-10 position by the season's end.
Both teams are in decent recent form, with Sassuolo losing only one of their last five league games, though they were held to a draw in their most recent outing against Fiorentina. AC Milan, meanwhile, is unbeaten in their last two league matches, also drawing their previous game against Juventus, and have kept consecutive clean sheets.
Historically, AC Milan leads the head-to-head record between the two clubs across all competitions, with 13 wins to Sassuolo's seven. However, Sassuolo has not defeated Milan at home since 2016. The visitors have a strong defensive record this season, conceding the fewest goals in the league.
AC Milan secured a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in December and have been strong away from home against Sassuolo. Despite some recent stalemates, Milan's overall form and defensive solidity suggest they are favored to win this crucial encounter.
