Rossoneri Round Up for Jul 20: AC Milan Could Guarantee Europa League Spot With A Win Over Sassuolo

AC Milan have turned around their fortunes since the restart of football in Italy following the three month lockdown resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Since the resumption, Milan have played 8 games in the league winning 6 and drawing 2. They have beaten Lazio, Juventus and AS Roma whilst drawing with Napoli hence taking points from every single team above them. The team has scored 25 in these games and conceded only 9.

Milan face Sassuolo on Tuesday night and have the opportunity to guarantee a shot at the Europa League through the qualification rounds. The game is a six pointer as Sassuolo are directly behind Milan hence if they win they cannot finish below 7th. This will be tough as Sassuolo have also not lost since the restart with 4 wins and 4 draws. Milan are currently two points behind AS Roma in 5th and tied with Napoli in 6th.
