AC Milan vs Sassuolo | Serie A Preview & Betting Tips | 14 Dec 2025

AC Milan vs Sassuolo — Serie A, 14 December 2025

A classic Serie A fixture at the San Siro, with AC Milan pushing at the top end of the table and Sassuolo looking to frustrate one of the league’s most organised sides.

🗞️ Introduction

AC Milan welcome Sassuolo knowing that consistency at home is key if they’re to keep pace near the top of Serie A. Results have been solid rather than spectacular, but the underlying numbers point towards a side that’s hard to beat.

Sassuolo arrive without pressure, capable of springing the odd surprise but also prone to lapses at the back. The San Siro should be lively, with the home crowd expecting control, territory and patience.

Milan generally look to dictate games through structured build-up, while Sassuolo are happier sitting compact and breaking when space opens up.

🔑 Tactical Trends

Milan average 50% possession but use it efficiently, combining strong pass completion with controlled tempo and defensive discipline.

Sassuolo operate with less of the ball, around 46%, and rely more on quick transitions rather than sustained pressure.

Defensively, Milan’s xG against of 1.14 highlights their structure, while Sassuolo’s higher xG conceded shows where pressure can tell.

📋 Form

AC Milan’s last ten competitive games read four wins, five draws and one defeat. They’ve scored around 16 goals and conceded just eight, keeping things tight and controlled.

Sassuolo come in with four wins, two draws and four defeats, scoring just over 13 and conceding 12. Form has been patchy, especially away from home.
