In the Round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, Milan will face Sassuolo at San Siro on Tuesday, December 3, with a 21:00 Central European Time kickoff. Here’s my prediction for the total goals in the match.
Match Preview
Milan has been inconsistent under coach Fonseca, with promising performances followed by disappointing results. While the team is still fighting for a Champions League knockout spot, their Serie A campaign has seen Napoli pull ahead. Although Fonseca believes a Scudetto challenge is still possible, the team has dropped points in matches they should have won.
Sassuolo, after relegating from Serie A, has worked hard to rebuild and currently leads Serie B. With one loss this season, they have already beaten Cittadella and Lecce in the Coppa Italia. Their match against Milan will be a true test of their progress.

Head-to-Head
Sassuolo has been successful at San Siro, winning three of their last four encounters with Milan.
Prediction
Sassuolo will put up a strong challenge, but a positive result at San Siro seems unlikely. I expect the match to be relatively low-scoring, so I’m betting on under 3 goals.
