Milan and Sassuolo square off at the Giuseppe Meazza on Saturday afternoon in a match that might be crucial for both teams in the Serie A standings.
The Rossoneri, who are now in third place in the Serie A standings, have lost contact with their local rivals Inter, who are currently leading the league. They currently lag behind the Nerazzurri by a whopping 11 points.
Moreover, the clubs that are gaining ground on the Milanese players are getting closer to them; fifth-place Fiorentina is just three points behind them, and surprise package Bologna is only two points behind them.
Having won three of their previous five games, Milan's current form is good. The final game, a 2-2 tie against Salernitana, could have been disappointing, nevertheless.
Though Milan has won three consecutive Serie A games at home, they do have one encouraging thing going for them.
Given that the Neroverdi have triumphed in three of the past five games between Milan and the Rossoneri, the visitors have emerged as a serious threat to Milan in recent years.
Sassuolo is now in 15th position in the standings, barely three points above the relegation zone, thus Alessio Dionisi's club needs another strong performance.
Their unstable standing in the Serie A standings is mostly the result of a four-game losing streak during which they have only managed one draw and three losses.
Sassuolo's prospects of escaping the relegation zone have been hampered by a dismal run of away victories in their last five Serie A games.
