Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Milan play host to Sassuolo at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the Serie A round 14. The Rossoneri experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 loss to Milan, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic once again proved his worth. The Sweden veteran is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, while all Calabria, Castillejo, Rebic, Maignan, and Plizzari are out of contention through injuries.
The Neroverdi, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures, and given their shaky defence, we believe that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Both Djuricic and Obiang are sidelined with injuries, whilst Frattesi will have to serve his ban. In their last meeting in the Italian top flight Sassuolo defeated AC Milan, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
