Sassuolo vs AC Milan prediction 03.05.2026 | Serie A

The Black and Greens have quietly put together a decent run. Just one defeat in the last five matches, along with two wins and two draws, suggests a team that is hard to put away.

Grosso’s side are not fighting relegation anymore, sitting 18 points clear, but there is still pride in how they finish the season.

Defensively, though, things are less convincing. That goalless draw against Fiorentina last weekend was their first clean sheet in eight games, which tells you how open matches have been.

At home, however, it is a different story. Four wins from the last five at Reggio Emilia, and often scoring multiple goals. You can picture it, a lively crowd, Sassuolo pushing forward with little hesitation.

Domenico Berardi returns after suspension, which is significant. He adds creativity and, frankly, a bit of unpredictability.

Fali Candé remains out with a long-term knee injury, while Daniel Boloca and Darryl Bakola are also unavailable. So the squad is not perfect, but the attacking pieces are mostly there.

I Rossoneri have drifted a little, and it shows. Not long ago, there was talk of a title push. Now, it feels more like damage control to secure a top-three finish.

One win in the last four games, two defeats, and no goals scored in three of those matches, which is concerning.

Allegri’s side have also struggled away from San Siro. Two losses in the last three away games, both 1-0, point to narrow margins but also a lack of cutting edge.

Trips to Reggio Emilia have not been smooth either, with the last two visits ending in draws. You could see this becoming tense again.

There are still quality players, of course. Christian Pulisic has eight goals and three assists, and Rafael Leão remains a constant threat with his pace.

However, Luka Modrić is out after a facial injury and will undergo surgery, which removes some experience from midfield.
