Sassuolo vs Milan: Match preview
Sassuolo have finally returned to Italy’s Serie A, and they have already achieved something truly important — securing their place in the top flight. The team have collected 46 points from 34 matches and currently sit 10th in the table. Their cushion above the relegation zone stands at 18 points with four rounds remaining. That means Sassuolo are mathematically safe and will remain in Serie A. Having lost only once in their last five matches, the side are now simply playing out the remainder of the campaign.
Milan spent part of the season fighting for top spot and trying to stay in the title race. However, several defeats and disappointing results pushed the team back. The Rossoneri now sit third in the table with 67 points from 34 matches. They trail first place by 12 points with four games left in the championship. Their advantage over fifth place is six points, so they have not yet officially secured their return to the UEFA Champions League. Two wins from their final four matches would likely settle the matter, or they can hope for slip-ups from their rivals.
Probable lineups
- Sassuolo: Turati, Garcia, Walukiewicz, Idzes, Muharemović, Matić, Koné, Thorstvedt, Volpato, Pinamonti, Laurienté
- Milan: Maignan, Bartesaghi, Pavlović, Tomori, Gabbia, Fofana, Saelemaekers, Modrić, Rabiot, Pulisic, Rafael Leão
Prediction
I believe Milan will take this match. They face an opponent with little left to play for, while Milan still need points to remove any doubt over UEFA Champions League qualification. My recommended bet is an away win.
