AC Milan vs Sassuolo Comments and Predictions: Continue to slide
AC Milan have just received their heaviest defeat since the beginning of the season when they were beaten 4-0 by Lazio. This defeat leaves the defending champion behind Napoli with a distance of 12 points. Not only that, AC Milan only has 3 more teams chasing after Lazio, Inter Milan and AS Roma with exactly 1 point (38 compared to 37).
That means AC Milan can be knocked out of the top 4 right in this round 20 if it stumbles before Sassuolo. More than ever, retaining 3 points is an imperative that must be completed with Stefano Pioli's teachers and students.
However, the performance of Olivier Giroud and his teammates is a headache for coach Pioli. Since the 2-1 victory over Salernitana on January 9, AC Milan no longer knows how to win with 5 consecutive matches, 2 of which are failures.
More disappointing, AC Milan had 3 matches that could not penetrate the opponent's net while receiving a total of 11 goals. History also shows that Sassuolo is a very uncomfortable opponent with the red and black shirt team.
The last four encounters, the Rossoneri only once surpassed this team, the rest drew 1, lost 2. At home, AC Milan experienced the 3rd consecutive match unable to beat Sassuolo. Believe that the away team will leave with at least 1 point.
