Milan Faces Sassuolo Trip in Serie A Matchday 6

AC Milan will visit Sassuolo at Reggio Emilia's Mapei Stadium on October 11, 2026, for Serie A Matchday 6, with the visitors aiming to extend their unbeaten run under Ruben Amorim after a 3-0 win over Lecce.

According to sports.yahoo.com, Milan must adjust their defensive setup after Alexis Saelemaekers suffered an injury, forcing a switch to a back four. New signing Diego Moreira could receive a starting opportunity.

The attacking line is expected to be led by Christian Pulisic as Milan seek another positive result away from home. The lineup change comes after the team entered the match unbeaten under Amorim.

Sassuolo arrive as a difficult opponent at home, according to sports.yahoo.com, after defeating Juventus at Mapei Stadium earlier in the season. Alberto Aquilani's team will also welcome back goalkeeper Arijanet Muric.

The hosts will rely on captain Domenico Berardi, who sports.yahoo.com identified as a key player for Sassuolo and a long-standing challenge for Milan in previous meetings.

The match features two teams with contrasting recent momentum, as Milan look to maintain their unbeaten start under Amorim while Sassuolo attempt to produce another major home result.
