AC Milan vs Sassulo Betting Tips Preview

Sixth-placed AC Milan welcome Sassuolo to the San Siro for fixture #31 of the Serie A (SA) season.
After a strong start as Milan manager, Gennaro Gattuso faces his first slump with the Rossoneri. His team have no wins in their last two league games (L1, D1) and were eliminated from the Europa League.
A win over Sassuolo is crucial to Milan’s quest for a return to European action next term. Two of the Rossoneri’s remaining home games after this one are against Napoli and Fiorentina, which underlines the importance of beating weaker teams at every opportunity.
The top four is pretty much out of the question for Milan, but the hosts are still unbeaten in eleven of their last twelve games in SA (W8, D3, L1) and have won four of their last five here.
Sassuolo are unbeaten in their last four SA games (W1, D3) but have failed to win in eleven of their last twelve. It is no surprise to seem them sitting just five points off the relegation zone, and with six defeats from their last ten visits to the San Siro to face Milan, history is also against them.

Players News

Young Italian striker Patrick Cutrone has struck seven goals for Milan this season, and he continues to be courted by Europe’s stronger clubs.
Matteo Politano has weighed in with four goals and four assists for goal-shy Sassuolo this campaign.

Stat Betting Strategy

A ninth home victory for Milan would see them come to within three wins of matching their total home win tally of 2016/17.
Much of Sassuolo’s troubles stem from a lack of goalscoring instinct in the final third. Twenty goals after 30 matches is the lowest return in the division. It is also the club’s own worst return since the 2013/14 SA season.
