Sassuolo, 17th position with 17 points and a negative goal difference of -11
Sassuolo humiliated AC Milan and won the Serie A Week 20 game on Sunday 29 January 2023 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy. Sassuolo confirmed themselves as Milan’s bete noire, once again beating San Siro after last season’s 3-1 win. This time the victory is even clearer and takes on the tone of a feat for the neroverdi. Milan collapsed in front of their fans. After the first half finished 3-1, Laurentié on penalties and Matheus Henrique rounded off the score making useless Origi’s great goal which fixed the result at 2-5. Dionisi’s team therefore finds the first victory of 2023 and certifies the crisis of Milan, jammed at 2-0 in the match against Roma and never again able to reverse the course. After the Super Cup lost against Inter, the exit from the Italian Cup against Turin and the only five points won in the league, a very black January ended in the worst possible way for Pioli’s men.
In the next round, Milan are called to react immediately against Inter, perhaps the best opportunity to rediscover enthusiasm and results. For Sassuolo, however, Atalanta is at home.
A tribute to Carlo Tavecchio, former president of the Italian Football Federation. May he rest in peace.#MilanSassuolo pic.twitter.com/YTa2urhm5w

✅ Stats before the game. Milan have gone unbeaten in their last two matches against Sassuolo in Serie A (W1, D1) without conceding a goal – the Rossoneri have never obtained three clean sheets in a row against the neroverdi in the top flight. After the 0-0 draw on August 30, Milan and Sassuolo could draw two consecutive matches for the first time in Serie A. Sassuolo have won both of their last two away games against Milan in the league, only against Verona (four) and SPAL (three) do the neroverdi have a longer open streak away from home in Serie A. Sassuolo have recorded two draws and six defeats in their last eight league games: only once have they gone nine straight games without a win in Serie A, between December 2017 and March 2018 with Iachini on the bench.
👉 Lineup AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Tătăruşanu; Calabria, Gabbia, Kalulu, Hernández; Tonali, Krunić; Saelemaekers, De Ketelaere, Rebić; Giroud.
👉 Lineup SASSUOLO (4-3-3): Consigli; Marchizza, Erlić, Tressoldi, Rogério; Frattesi, Obiang, Traorè; Berardi, Defrel, Laurienté.
