MILAN –  As we edge ever closer to this Sunday’s lunch-time match between Sassuolo-Milan, we take a look at some stats and facts courtesy of Football Data.Sassuolo have gone 225 minutes without scoring a single goal at the Mapei Stadium: the last time the neroverdi were on target at home was on the 19th of April when Berardi converted a penalty on the cusp of half-time in Sassuolo’s 1-1 draw with Torino. In the following two home fixtures, Sassuolo fired blanks against Roma (0-3) and Palermo (0-0).Sassuolo’s Alessandro Longhi will make his 200th appearance as a pro should he feature against the rossoneri during Sunday’s lunch-time match: so far he’s made 47 appearances in the Italian top flight, 110 in Serie B, 31 in Lega Pro, 7 in the Italian Cup and 4 in other competitions with Feralpisalò, Triestina and current club Sassuolo. His professional debut came during Feralpisalò-Canavese 0-0 on the 23rd of August 2009.The neroverdi are often caught out at the back early on and 22 of their 54 total goals conceded have all been shipped in the first half an hour of play. 8 between the 1st and 15th minute / 14 between the 16th and 30th minute. Only Cagliari have leaked more goals during the same period: 25.Milan’s Giampaolo Pazzini needs just 1 more goal to reach the milestone of 100 in Serie A. The Tuscan striker’s 99 goals so far have come with the following teams: 3 with Atalanta, 25 with Fiorentina, 36 with Sampdoria, 16 with Inter and 19 with Milan. His first ever goal in the Italian top flight was on the 12th of September 2004 in Atalanta-Lecce 2-2.With 3 games to go, European hopes are slim but they haven’t yet been mathematically ruled out. Inter are 6 points clear in the table while Torino are just 2 points ahead and are Milan’s opponents in the next round at the San Siro. Milan have to win the remaining matches, starting with this weekend’s match at Sassuolo, and hope other results go in their favour.
