Sassuolo vs AC Milan preview: Draw on the cards?

Sassuolo have already achieved their main objective of preserving their Serie A status, meaning anything else from the remainder of the season is a bonus. However, after such a strong campaign, they will be eager to finish on a positive note.

The Emilian side have shown significant improvement during the second half of the season, particularly since late January, when they began collecting victories with greater consistency.

They have suffered just one defeat in their last five matches, recording two wins in that run. A goalless draw against Fiorentina last time out offers another platform to build on, and they will be targeting a positive result against the Rossoneri.

Sassuolo’s home form has been mixed overall, with eight wins and two draws, while they have also lost seven times. They have scored 21 goals on their own ground but conceded 23.

After playing out a 0-0 draw with Juventus in their previous Serie A outing, AC Milan saw their Scudetto hopes officially come to an end.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side must now focus fully on securing Champions League qualification. Their current position appears strong, but a few slip-ups across the final four matches could yet create complications.

Milan have lost four of their last nine Serie A fixtures, a run that ultimately cost them momentum in the title race and allowed Inter Milan to pull clear at the summit.

They can still take pride in owning the league’s best defensive record, having conceded only 27 goals while keeping 15 clean sheets this season.

Luka Modric suffered a serious facial injury in the last match and has been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign. Aside from that setback, Milan have an otherwise healthy squad available for this trip.

Whispers Predicts: Sassuolo 2-2 AC Milan

AC Milan are unbeaten in their last eight away matches against Sassuolo, and they will be confident of extending that record this weekend.

However, whether they can return to winning ways is less certain, with an entertaining high-scoring draw looking a strong possibility.

Meetings between these sides have regularly delivered goals, making over 2.5 goals at 1.73 an appealing option.

Both teams have also scored in four of Sassuolo’s last five matches, so BTTS – Yes at 1.73 stands out as another attractive selection.
