"AC Milan will hope to give the fans a Christmas present on Sunday with a win against Sassuolo in Serie A. Here is a look at their opposition. This is a really big game for Milan, and it perhaps shouldn't be. Circumstances this season have meant that the Rossoneri must get three points here and failing to do so only raises questions about their ability to perform against lesser teams in the division."
"Heading into the 2025-26 season, the challenge for Verona was to try and follow up a relatively positive campaign last time out under Paolo Zanetti in which they ended up finishing 14th and therefore a few places clear of the relegation places. The Gialloblu had an intriguing summer window in which they spent around €16.6m but made about €26m in sales."
AC Milan need a win against Sassuolo to reassure fans and address doubts about performing against lower-ranked teams. Verona are managed by Paolo Zanetti and finished 14th last season, prompting a summer rebuild. The club spent around €16.6m and generated roughly €26m from sales, including major exits to Wolves and Brighton. Several arrivals and loans — including Moatasem Al-Musrati, Victor Nelson, Gift Orban and Armel Bella-Kotchap — bolstered the squad. Verona failed to win in their first 12 league games but have since beaten Atalanta and Fiorentina. A Coppa Italia elimination on penalties and multiple injuries intensified pressure on the manager.
