AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-0 away mauling from Lazio. During that encounter they had 50% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 10 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Pioli will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Stadio San Siro, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal.
Rafael Leão will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for AC Milan.
Sassuolo will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Monza, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against Monza's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 5 away games out of 10 this season, Alessio Dionisi will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
A win for Sassuolo is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
