Prediction on Goals

Sassuolo is the most productive team in Serie B. The "Black and Greens" have hit opponents' nets 31 times and only once left the field without scoring (0-0 with Spezia at the end of September). Moreover, the team scores a lot on the road – averaging 1.88 goals per game. Considering that Milan is not always reliable in defense and will very likely play with a second lineup, a Sassuolo goal looks like a promising b

AC Milan possible starting lineup: Sportiello; Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, Terracciano; Musah, Fofana, Loftus-Cheek; Chukwueze, Abraham, Okafor

Sassuolo possible starting lineup: Moldovan; Toljan, Muharemovic, Odenthal, Pieragnolo; Thorstvedt, Boloca, Obiang; Berardi, Pierini, Lauriente

This Coppa Italia match could be closer than the odds suggest and we’re backing Sassuolo with a +1.5 goal headstart. You can secure 1.80 and we think this is a great tip.

Given their current circumstances and upcoming fixtures, AC Milan is expected to rotate its lineup significantly. Key players such as Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez will be absent due to injuries . Predicted lineups suggest that Milan will field a competitive yet altered team comprising Sportiello; Calabria, Tomori; Fofana; Chukwueze; Loftus-Cheek; and Leao or Okafor . Despite Sassuolo's lower league status, their potential for upsets adds an element of unpredictability to this match.
