THE LOWDOWN
A. C. MILAN
It has been a fairly underwhelming campaign for the 2022 Serie A winners and seven-time European champions, AC Milan. The Rossoneri were knocked out in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League and they are also not meaningfully involved in the Italian title race with an emphasis on just staying in the top four and the UEFA Champions League spots.
They come into this moment after a 2-2 draw with back-of-the-table Salernitana with ten men in their last game last weekend. That point required Luka Jovic’s 90th-minute equalizer and continued his inconsistency this season. They have also suffered a long list of injuries in recent months.
SASSUOLO
Alessio Dionisi is still at the helm of Sassuolo, but the former Empoli manager is under constant pressure, and that pressure expands as the performance and effects continue to be disappointing for the guy who was tasked first and foremost with maintaining a taste for Sassuolo-related attacking football. in the last half decade or a decade or so.
The visitors start this weekend’s run of matches with some problems and put them above the last 3 and the Serie A relegation zone. They have picked up just one point from their last 4 games and come into this one with a 2-1 defeat. at home to an equally disappointing Genoa last weekend.
