Serie A 2015-2016: AC Milan vs Sassuolo, Preview, Prediction & Predicted Lineup

| Oct 20, 2015 04:40 AM EDT

Sassuolo's Simone Missiroli and Lazio's Balde Keita in action during their recent Serie A match.

Struggling squad AC Milan (3-4-1, 10 points) will try to find its first win in four games as they play contending team US Sassuolo Calcio (4-1-3, 15 points) for a 2015-2016 Serie A match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday, October 25.

I Rossoneri squandered a chance for three points in the league table after settling for a 1-1 draw against Torino in their game at the Olimpico di Torino last Saturday.

Colombian striker Carlos Bacca put Siniša Mihajlović's men ahead, 1-0, three minutes after the hour mark, but Il Toro's midfielder Daniele Baselli answered back 10 minutes later with a left-footed strike from the center box to deny Milan their first victory since September, as reported by SkySports.

However, it is still a welcome result for Mihajlović as his team avoided a third consecutive defeat with the drawn matchup.

Meanwhile, I Neroverdi pulled off a mild 2-1 upset against rising squad Lazio at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore on Sunday to overtake their more favored opponents for the fifth spot in the overall standings.

Forward Domenico Berardi put Sassuolo ahead after converting a 7th-minute penalty kick while midfielder Simone Missiroli doubled the goal count at the hour mark with a 15-yard strike from center box, as per ESPN.

Eusebio Di Francesco's men snapped I Biancocelesti's three-game winning run to hopefully start their own in this upcoming match against Milan this weekend.

The prediction is a tough 2-1 win for Sassuolo over AC Milan.

AC Milan starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Lopez; Abate, Alex, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Kucka, Montolivo, Bertolacci; Cerci, Adriano, Bonaventura

Sassuolo starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Consigli; Vrsaljko, Cannavaro, Acerbi, Peluso; Biondini, Magnanelli, Missiroli; Berardi, Falcinelli, Sansone
