Sassuolo vs AC Milan Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Sassuolo vs AC Milan prediction is an AC Milan win, with goals at both ends. Milan project for 2.04 goals, and an attack built around Ramos, Pulisic and Modrić's passing has the quality to punish a Sassuolo defense missing seven players. The hosts will create plenty at home, but Milan simply have more ways to hurt you.

Best Picks

AC Milan to win in the Moneyline market. The moneyline is the cleanest way to back the better team. The projection gives Milan a 57% win probability, and their price has been flagged as positive expected value at several sportsbooks. They also sit five places above Sassuolo in the standings, and that gap shows in the quality of the two squads.

Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both Teams To Score is where Sassuolo's busy attack and leaky defense meet. The projection leans firmly toward both sides finding the net, and there have been over 2.5 goals in each of Sassuolo's last 5 Serie A games. Milan should score, and Sassuolo rarely go quietly at home.

Our Sassuolo vs AC Milan same game parlay picks back the home attack to show up, built around Armand Laurienté, Domenico Berardi and a card for Nemanja Matic.

Sassuolo vs AC Milan Talking Points

Aquilani faces the club he played for as a midfielder in 2011/12, while Amorim has set the tone for his group: "Now we need to put our foot on the accelerator because some very important games for our season are coming up." Tactically, watch the space behind Milan's back three. Sassuolo are good at carving out looks with through balls, and defending through-ball attacks is the one clear weak spot in Milan's profile. If Berardi and Laurienté find those lanes, this gets messy for the favorites, even if Milan's extra quality still carries the day.
