Players to Watch
Malick Thiaw
The defender has looked out of place in the squad and just off the pace of the game. He is looking clumsy and his passing is horrible since returning from injury. He needs to use this game to get fit and confidence as we need a major shift from him against AS Roma on Thursday. Thiaw needs to find consistency and made a difference otherwise he is just surplus to requirements if he does not overcome this current block.
Andrea Pinamonti
The former Inter Milan striker is enjoying a solid season despite the club struggling and facing relegation. He has 10 goals and 2 assists across all competitions. He is no stranger to facing Milan as he has played against the Rossoneri 7 times scoring 1 goal but what’s scary is his current form. The striker would love to help out his former side secure the Scudetto sooner at the San Siro and will be key to make an impression against a weaker defence and bench keeper.
Luka Jovic
Jovic gets a rare start and needs to score or he will be forgotten and not get that contract renewal. The Serbian striker was hot news just a few months ago but the lack of continuity has hurt him, he will not get another opportunity given the run in of games until the end of the season so needs to remind Pioli and the Rossoneri faithful what he is capable of.
Prediction: Sassuolo 2-2 Milan
