Sassuolo's league form has been patchier. They lost away at Monza, then beat Juventus at home, then drew at Bologna. There's quality in there, but also inconsistency, especially away from home.

Milan look the more settled side coming into this, even allowing for that European defeat.

Comparative Team Statistics: Sassuolo vs AC Milan

A fixture that hasn't always gone Milan's way lately

Milan's historical record against Sassuolo is strong, including a 6-1 Coppa Italia win back in 2024. But the two most recent league meetings tell a different story: Sassuolo won 2-0 at home last season, and the meeting before that at Milan's ground finished 2-2.

So while the long-term head-to-head leans heavily towards Milan, the last two competitive meetings have been close or gone the other way entirely.

Recent history suggests Sassuolo can be competitive in this fixture, even if the overall record favours Milan.

Where they sit right now

Milan currently sit 5th with 11 points from five games, unbeaten, and they've conceded just four goals in that time. Sassuolo are down in 10th with seven points, having already lost twice and shipped nine goals across their five matches.

That's a fairly clear gap in both results and defensive solidity at this early stage of the season.

On the league table alone, Milan have the stronger platform heading into this game.

Players making the difference

Vasilije Adžić has been Sassuolo's main threat, with three goals in five appearances. For Milan, Diego Moreira has also chipped in three goals but in fewer matches, while Rabiot has been involved in goals and assists and Chukwueze has been creating chances from midfield.

Penalty cards:

S. Pavlović x 2

On the disciplinary side, both Lipani for Sassuolo and Pavlović for Milan have already picked up two yellow cards apiece this season, which is worth keeping an eye on if referees are strict.

How the goals might flow

Sassuolo have scored nine and conceded nine in their five league games, showing they can find the net but also leak goals fairly regularly. Milan, by contrast, have the tightest defence of the two by some distance, conceding only four so far this season.

If that defensive gap holds up, Milan should have chances to exploit a Sassuolo side that's already shown it can be got at, even if Sassuolo's home draw against Juventus proves they're not easy to simply brush aside.
