AC Milan are taking on Sassuolo in the early game today and as highlighted by the newspapers, they need to win to put pressure on their Scudetto rivals.
The comeback win against Torino was incredibly important for Milan, not just to keep their spot at the top of the standings, but also to boost their confidence. Today, just as winning away against Il Toro was difficult, there is another hurdle to overcome.
Indeed, Massimiliano Allegri’s men are yet to beat a newly-promoted side this season, having lost against Cremonese and drawn against Pisa. In short, they need to turn this trend around to put pressure on their rivals and keep first place.
Today’s newspapers highlighted exactly that, since the likes of Napoli, Inter and Juventus will also play their games today. In just a few hours, with kick-off set for 12:30 CET, we will know if Milan have succeeded or not.
