Paulo Fonseca eyes taking Milan to the quarter-finals with a win over the Serie B table toppers.

Amidst the sophisticated allure of Milan, Italy’s fashion and financial capital, the Round of 16 fixtures of the Coppa Italia takes us to the San Siro Stadium in Milan where AC Milan are set to lock horns against Sassuolo.

AC Milan find themselves in a challenging position, sitting 7th in the Serie A standings after securing five wins from their 12 league fixtures this season. Despite domestic inconsistencies, the Rossoneri have shown promising form in the UEFA Champions League, with their recent triumph being a statement victory over Real Madrid. Their European campaign has gained momentum with back-to-back wins, including a commanding performance against Slovan Bratislava.

Now, AC Milan shift focus to the Coppa Italia, where they are set to face a resilient Sassuolo side in the Round of 16. Playing at the iconic San Siro, Milan will aim to capitalize on their home advantage and translate their Champions League resurgence into domestic success. A win over Sassuolo would not only secure a spot in the quarterfinals but also provide a much-needed boost as they seek to reignite their campaign across all competitions.

Sassuolo, currently dominating the Serie B standings, have been a force to reckon with this season, suffering just a single defeat in 15 matches. Their remarkable form has solidified their status as favourites for promotion, and they are brimming with confidence after winning four of their last five games.

Despite the disparity in squad depth and quality, Sassuolo will approach their Coppa Italia Round of 16 clash against AC Milan with determination and ambition. With their sights set on delivering a giant-killing performance, they will look to leverage their momentum and resilience to stage an upset at the iconic San Siro. A victory against the Serie A giants would not only boost morale but also underline their potential as a rising power in Italian football.
