Rubbish game to watch live, but a cracking fixture
A meeting between Alberto Aquilani's Sassuolo and Rúben Amorim's Milan will be an interesting tactical chess match, as these two tactically astute coaches have completely different approaches to the game. Milan are compact and structured, favouring possession and timed pressing to keep the tempo of the game controlled, while Sassuolo are more flexible in their approach, trying to press aggressively and then burst forwards in transition.
Diego Moreira has been Milan's sharpest edge so far in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring three goals in three appearances, while Vasilije Adzic has been similarly on a tear for Sassuolo, scoring three times in five. Both men are likely to have a role to play on Sunday, as Moreira has three of the Rossoneri's seven Serie A 2026/2027 goals in the last five, while Adzic has three of Sassuolo's nine.
Milan to take the points
Milan's form has been mixed since the new season began, with a 2-2 draw away to Lazio, a 0-2 defeat at home to Benfica in the Europa League and a 3-0 win at home to Lecce. Sassuolo are in better shape, having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five. However, Milan are the favourites here at 81/100, while the Neroverdi are 16/5 and the draw is 53/20.
On paper, Milan look the more likely to edge this game, but Sassuolo's home form in Serie A 2026/2027 has been perfect so far, with two wins from two and conceding 1.5 per game, and they'll be coming into this game with some momentum behind them after three straight home wins.
I'd be a little surprised if Milan completely outclassed Sassuolo here, as the head-to-head record is very tight, so the best play is on both teams to score at 7/10, while over 2.5 goals at 4/5 is also a strong alternative.
