Serie A, odds: Milan-Sassuolo –

The victory against Genoa brought Milan closer to the goal of qualifying for the Champions League, but in a few hours the Rossoneri will be back on the pitch so as not to lose ground to their rivals in this electrifying fight for the top positions. Pioli managed to return to success at San Siro more than two months after the last time and on Wednesday Sassuolo arrived at the Meazza, fresh from their victory against Fiorentina: kick-off at 6.30 pm in the midweek round.

THE MOMENT

—

Thanks to Berardi’s brace from a penalty and Maxime Lopez’s goal, Sassuolo overcame Beppe Iachini’s team 3-1 at home, who took the lead thanks to Bonaventura’s goal in the first half. Second consecutive victory for De Zerbi’s men, who therefore continue in their excellent championship: the 46 points won and the eighth place are there to prove it. Milan also comes from two consecutive victories, against Parma and Genoa: Scamacca’s own goal was decisive after Rebic’s advantage and Destro’s equalizer, formerly of the match.

The first leg match was won 2-1 by Milan, on 20 December at the Mapei Stadium: Leao’s goal after less than seven seconds (fastest goal in Serie A history), double by Saelemaekers and winning free-kick by Berardi in the final of match. Considering also the challenge in the final of last season, again in Emilia, the Rossoneri are two consecutive victories against the neroverdi. From an analysis by Oddschecker, the last two matches between the two teams both ended with a 2-1 result in favor of the Rossoneri. There is a very curious fact in the challenges between these two teams in Serie A: in the first six, from 2013 to 2016, Sassuolo have won four times out of six. Since that moment, the neroverdi have not found the three points: seven wins for the Devil and only two draws. Sassuolo’s latest success is therefore dated 6 March 2016, 2-0 at home with Duncan and Sansone. The last match at San Siro ended 0-0 on 15 December 2019.
