Milan vs Sassuolo preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

As the games come thick and fast in this festive period, everything can change in one game week, especially at the top of Serie A, where things continue to be tight in the chase for top spot and the European places. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 campaign, and matchday fifteen sees the league leaders at home as they host Sassuolo. 

Milan top the pile, but only by way of goal difference from Napoli after Christian Pulisic made his latest return on Monday to bail Max Allegri's side out of trouble after going 2-0 against Torino. 

The American's two goals inspired a comeback win and kept the Rossoneri as the team to beat. 

Sassuolo are the latest team to try and derail Milan's title charge, who head to the San Siro currently sitting in a healthy eighth place in the table, and just three points off the European spots. 

Boss Fabio Grosso is no stranger to the San Siro and, given his ties to rivals Inter, would love to see his side put a dent in Milan's charge.

There was good news for Rafael Leao as there is no muscular damage to the injury that ended his game against Torino on Monday, but the striker could still be rested against Sassuolo, especially with Christian Pulisic fit to start from the off. 

Youssouf Fofana and Zachary Athekame could also make the squad.

Milan vs Sassuolo prediction

Sassuolo are on a good run, and Milan are not without their defensive fralties, but with Pulisic in the form that he is and with the side needing to keep up with the teams around them, we fancy a home win. 

Prediction:  Milan 2-0 Sassuolo
