How Sassuolo arrives
Davide Ballardini approaches the match against the Rossoneri with two doubts: the conditions of Martin Erlic and Marcus Pedersen need to be assessed. If the Croatian, in particular, does not make room for Ruan Tressoldi (more than Kumbulla and Viti) to partner with Ferrari at the center of defense in the 4-2-3-1 which also includes Consigli between the posts, Toljan and Doig on the bands. Boloca could be confirmed in the control room in place of Racic, with Kristian Thorstvedt alongside him. Pinamonti leading the attack up front with Defrel, Bajrami or Matheus Henrique and Laurienté behind him (from Sassuolo, Antonio Parrotto).
How Milan arrives
Due to the defeat in the first leg against Roma, Milan will inevitably have to try to overturn everything in the return leg at the Olimpico on Thursday. For this reason, it is very likely that Pioli will propose a large turnover against Sassuolo: only Tomori (who has not played in Europe) is certain of ownership, while for the rest many changes are possible. The one in goal is safe: Maignan not called up due to a muscle strain, Sportiello plays. Florenzi, Kjaer and Terracciano could complete the defense, the Musah-Adli duo could complete the defense, while Okafor, Jovic and Chukwueze could find space up front from the first minute. Only one missing: possible relay between Loftus-Cheek and Pulisic as an attacking midfielder (from Milan, Antonello Gioia).
