After the long break for the internationals, Milan is ready to return to the field. The team of Rúben Amorim will be the guest of Sassuolo, coached by former Rossonero Alberto Aquilani, in a match that presents several pitfalls also in light of the statistics collected by Opta.

Milan arrives at the appointment with 3 wins and 2 draws in the first 5 matchdays. In case of a positive result, the Rossoneri would remain unbeaten in the first 6 league games for the first time since the 2022/23 season. At the same time, however, a new draw would bring the number of draws to 3 in the first 6 matchdays: a figure that has not occurred since the 2018/19 season.

These two data points can lead to almost opposite backgrounds for the Rossoneri. On one hand, the unbeaten run highlights the growth of the Rossoneri compared to recent seasons, some more disappointing than others; but at the same time, in case of a draw, the concern of a possible tendency to draw would arise, which would mean a lack of concreteness from the Rossoneri in closing games.

Sassuolo, the home performance is a warning bell

Particular attention must be given to Sassuolo's home performance. According to Opta, the black‑and‑green side have won 8 of the last 11 home Serie A matches, completing the record with 3 draws.

In this period only Inter and Roma have achieved more home wins, with 10 and 9 respectively, while Napoli has reached 8. This shows that the challenge will not be easy for the Rossoneri, who have always considered Sassuolo one of their black beasts.

Sassuolo always scoring, but also always beaten

There is another significant statistic. Sassuolo, together with Monza, is one of the two teams that have scored and conceded at least one goal in all of the first 5 matchdays.

The black‑and‑green side have found the net in each of the first 6 Serie A season games only in three previous seasons: 2015/16, 2018/19 and 2020/21. Numbers that make the Emilia away test an important one for Amorim's Milan.
