Last year, Sassuolo was relegated to Serie B. The Neroverdi team had a difficult season and failed to avoid relegation.

During their years in the top league, the team has been both a nightmare and a source of joy for Milan. Too many times, the Rossoneri have lost against them, often under the blows of Berardi: historically, the year after winning the scudetto, a 5-2 defeat at San Siro. Memorable, however, was the match for the nineteenth title, won by Milan at Mapei Stadium with a score of 3-0, as relayed via Milannews.it.
This year, there could have been no matches against Sassuolo, but they have eliminated Lecce in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia, giving themselves a trip to San Siro again this season. The Corriere dello Sport writes that Lecce, Milan's opponents on Friday in the league, this is the third consecutive elimination at the hands of a Serie B team. The match between Milan and Sassuolo will be played, therefore, in December: either in the week of the 4th or the following week of the 18th.
