Sassuolo vs Milan: team news and expert analysis
The club from the "Mapei – Città del Tricolore" was relegated to the second tier in 2024. However, they returned at the first attempt and, after collecting 49 points, finished 11th in the spring. Now under the management of Aquilani, they have progressed past Cesena and Frosinone in the cup. In the league, their record was evenly split, with two wins and two defeats — although in the most recent round they somehow managed to lose to newcomers Monza.
The giants from "San Siro" brought Allegri back to the coaching position ahead of last season. For a long time, they were Inter's main challengers. But they collapsed at the finish and slipped to fifth place. Now, under Ruben Amorim, they started with a couple of wins, then settled for draws against Lazio and Juventus, and even lost to Benfica in the Europa League. They only managed to thrash Lecce 3-0.
Berardi and company are keeping things even: they average 1.8 goals both for and against. The ambitious visitors score twice per game while conceding 0.8 goals.
