Rossoneri can sneak this, but Sassuolo will make them work for it
Milan's trip to Sassuolo is a stylistic clash that should create a fascinating chess match at Stadio Mapei - Citta del Tricolore on Sunday. Alberto Aquilani's Neroverdi have been playing a flexible, possession-based style since he took the job on 12 June 2026, while Rúben Amorim's men are a much more compact, possession-first style since he came in on 16 June 2026.
The Rossoneri are arguably a more structured unit with a clear identity, but Amorim's system is built around a strict structure, timed pressing and control through the half-spaces. While they have been very impressive at times, the fact that they were stif...
An end-to-end clash in the making
Sassuolo won 2-0 here in Serie A 2025/2026 and have won all 2 home games in Serie A 2026/2027, so it would be no surprise if they made Milan suffer on their day off this weekend.
The hosts arrive with 7 points from 5 games leaving them 10th in the Serie A table compared to 5th and 11 points for the visitors.
It’s anyone’s game
AC Milan are 1.81 favourites here compared to Sassuolo at 4.2 and the draw at 3.65 and that seems about right in terms of the way this game should go if not the exact score. Milan are slightly more likely to edge it on paper, but Sassuolo have the home ground advantage and the last 3 meetings have been split (W1, D1, L1).
Sassuolo have won 2 of their 2 home Serie A 2026/2027 games so far, scoring 2.50 goals per game and conceding 1.50. AC Milan have won 1 and drawn 2 of their 3 Serie A 2026/2027 trips, scoring 1.67 goals and conceding 1.33, so they are both doing enough to win and enough to lose.
Both teams to score a strong play
Both teams to score at 1.7 looks a strong alternative angle in this clash as it is close to the 1.8 odds for over 2.5 goals, which is also a solid bet. We're going with BTTS here as Sassuolo come into this after a 3-2 home win over Juventus and 2-1 away defeat to Monza.
In terms of a correct score, we're backing AC Milan to edge this one by a 2-1 margin as Sassuolo have not quite looked ruthless enough when they've been on the ascendancy in 2026/2027. Milan's last 2 away games have been draws, so it is easy to see the Rossoneri picking up a result here at the very least.
Diego Moreira is Milan's sharpest edge in Serie A 2026/2027 so far with 3 goals in 3 games and 3 of his team's 7 goals in their last 5 overall. For Sassuolo, Vasilije Adzic has 3 in 5 in Serie A 2026/2027 and 3 of their 9 goals across their last 5.
