Milan vs Sassuolo prediction and betting tips on December 3, 2024
Game Prediction
On December 3, 2024, in the 1/8 final of the Coppa Italia, Milan will play against Sassuolo. The big club simply must win against a representative from the second division.
Our prediction for the Milan vs Sassuolo match
The "Rossoneri" lost only to Inter last season. However, despite finishing as vice-champions, the club's management decided to end their long and successful collaboration with Stefano Pioli. Meanwhile, the regression of "Neroverdi" in recent years culminated in their relegation to Serie B after accumulating only 30 points, finishing second to last.
"Sassuolo" is now led by Fabio Grosso. His main task is to return to Serie A immediately, and he has been doing well at it. The new squad under the former defender has been almost unbeatable, winning the majority of their matches. They also managed to defeat Reggiana 2-0. In the cup, they eliminated both Cittadella and Lecce.
Paulo Fonseca, who appeared at "San Siro," has constantly been under threat of dismissal. Yet, he managed to secure impressive victories over top opponents like Inter and Real Madrid, which helped him avoid being sacked. However, both in Serie A and the Champions League, "Milan" has not lived up to expectations. In recent matches, they managed to win—3-2 against Slovan in Bratislava and 3-0 over Empoli on the weekend. Given this form, it’s uncertain whether they will take the third tournament seriously, especially with Pulisic and his teammates potentially not being fully motivated.
