Milan Set the Tone at San Siro as Sassuolo Arrive with Nothing to Lose
So here we are at San Siro, where AC Milan and Sassuolo are getting ready to face each other in a fascinating Serie A matchday 15 clash. The kick-off is set for 12:30 CET, and even before the first whistle, there’s already a lot to talk about. Official line-ups have been confirmed, injuries have reshaped both squads, and the atmosphere feels like a proper Sunday showdown before Christmas.
Milan come into this game riding a wave of confidence. Recent league results have been positive, and a sense of momentum has clearly been built. Despite a growing injury list, consistency has been shown by the Rossoneri, especially at home. Players like Rafael Leão, Youssouf Fofana, and Santiago Gimenez are unavailable, which has forced some adjustments, but the core strength of the team remains intact. What stands out immediately is the attacking pairing of Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku, who have been trusted to lead the line. Their movement, pace, and finishing are expected to carry much of Milan’s attacking threat.

In midfield, Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been handed a starting role, which means Samuele Ricci begins on the bench. This choice signals a more physical and direct approach, while the back three is expected to provide solidity in front of Mike Maignan. Milan’s shape reflects confidence, but also caution, knowing Sassuolo’s ability to punish mistakes.
On the other side, Sassuolo arrive in Milan dealing with plenty of challenges of their own. Several key players are missing, including Domenico Berardi, whose absence always changes the complexion of their attack. Coach Fabio Grosso is also not on the touchline due to suspension, which means instructions will be delivered from a distance. Still, this is a Sassuolo side that has been praised for its organisation and discipline, and those qualities are expected to be relied upon heavily here.
Cristian Volpato has been brought in to replace Berardi, while Andrea Pinamonti leads the line, supported by Alieu Fadera. The intention seems clear: stay compact, absorb pressure, and take advantage of any space Milan leave behind.
