Milan find themselves facing a battle to retain the Serie A title with Inter and Juventus both enjoying solid starts to the 2022-23 campaign.
That pressure will be a factor for Milan in the coming weeks as Stefano Pioli’s side cannot afford to let their rivals gain an advantage despite the early stage of the season.
A strong start to the season has given real optimism for Milan and they are favourites to win this tie based on an impressive winning start against Udinese at the San Siro on the opening weekend of the campaign.
Pioli’s side have looked good in front of goal, with five goals from their first two games, at an average of 2.5 goals per 90 minutes of Serie A action, and four goals against Udinese.
Despite only scoring one league goal in the opening fortnight, Sassuolo will be boosted by Milan’s defensive issues so far in 2022-23, compared to their solidity at the back end of 2021-22.
Pioli’s charges kept five consecutive home clean sheets in the final two months of last season, but they shipped two goals against Udinese, and Sassuolo will be confident of at least scoring a goal on home soil.
Goals look to be on the menu in this contest, regardless of the final result, but Milan’s overall strength is expected to be decisive in getting them over the line towards three points.
A narrow victory for the away side keeps them on track at the end of August, but Sassuolo will cause them problems, and Pioli faces a marathon campaign either side of the incoming World Cup later this year.
