Match Preview: AC Milan vs Sassuolo

Welcome to the preview of AC Milan vs Sassuolo. Below there will be analysis, teams news, match prediction, key players and predicted lineups.

AC Milan

Starting with the home side AC Milan who are going for nothing but a win tonight. The Rossoneri have drawn their last game against Inter, and have lost the one before that against Juventus. They are the favourites of today's match and will be expected to take the 3 points that are so crucial to them as they are fighting for a Champions League spot that is slowing fading away from them.

Milan are missing Andrea Conti as he underwent a second operation and he will be out of action for around 5 months.

AC Milan currently sit at 6th in the Serie A table, 8 points away from their goal which is 4th place.

Milan's Predicted Lineup: Donnarumma, Calabria, Bonucci, Romagnoli, Rodriguez, Kessie, Biglia, Calhanoglu, Bonaventura, Cutrone, Suso.

Milan key player: Calhanoglu

Sassuolo

Sassuolo are traveling to Milan to play a hard fought match and are the underdogs for today's game. They only won once in their last 12 league games and might suffer another deficit. While Milan are fighting to get to the Champions League, Sassuolo are aiming to stay in Serie A. They are five points safe of the drop zone and if they don't pick up points soon, they could find themselves in Serie B next season. 

Sassuolo will probably be missing Timo Letschert for the match as he is still recovering from an injury he picked up.

Sassuolo currently sit at 16th place, trying to avoid the relegation zone.

Sassuolo's Predicted Lineup: Consigli, Peluso, Acerbi, Goldaniga, Lirola, Sensi, Magnanelli, Missiroli, Politano, Babacar, Berardi.
