As the relegation battle promises to drag to the final matchday, Sassuolo faces a tricky visit from AC Milan. The Stadio Città del Tricolore on Sunday will host this Serie A matchday 32. The hosts are in the relegation zone at 19th place before this round, with 25 points. The visitors are second with 68 points. Sassuolo are two points behind safety after drawing 2-2 with basement club Salernitana last time out. It was a case of two points missed and a chance to post a first win in three league games. With pressure looming on the home side, the fact that they have lost five of their last eight league games makes Sassuolo vulnerable. Yet, the tightness of the bottom half of the Serie A table means that they are just three points adrift of 15th-placed Udinese. Playing at home gives them confidence too, as Sassuolo have won four points from their last two matches here.

Milan are coming off a narrow 1-0 defeat to Roma in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. The return leg is on the horizon, and with their second spot in the league under no immediate threat, the visiting side may plan for that match rather than concentrate on this one. The defeat to Roma was, after all, just their first across nine competitive matches where they won seven. In the league, Milan are on a five-game winning run and will be keen to add to that count and get back to winning ways. The visiting fans will be pleased that the Rossoneri have won six of their last seven away league games, including three straight wins in that sequence.
