Sassuolo began their 2022-23 Serie A season with a 3-0 defeat at Juventus on August 15 before securing a narrow 1-0 win over Lecce six days later. And then, last Sunday, the Watermelon Peel shared the spoils against Spezia. After falling behind to Davide Frattesi’s 23rd-minute opener, Spezia struck twice in the final 15 minutes of the opening half to take a one-goal lead. After the break, Andrea Pinamonti’s 50th-minute equaliser helped Alessio Dionisi’s side to earn a point away from home. Â

AC Milan, on the other hand, began their title-defence with a 4-2 victory over Udinese before being held by Atalanata for a 1-1 draw. In their recent outing against Bologna, Rafael Leao opened the scoring before Olivier Giroud’s sensational acrobatic goal doubled the lead and sealed Milan’s victory. Pioli’s men are now unbeaten in their last 19 league outings, recording an impressive 13 wins and six draws.Â
Sassuolo defender Mert Muldur picked up an injury against Spezia last sunday and has joined the likes of Hamed Junior Traore and Filippo Romagna in the medical room. Berardi, Pinamonti and Kyriakopoulos are expected to form the front three. As for Milan, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is out with a knee problem, therefore Giroud is likely to be the target-man up front with Messia, de Ketelaere and Leao operating around him.Â
