Inter Milan’s season may have turned in the right direction in mid-week, as they claimed a massive home success in the Champions League against Barcelona. However, they will need to maintain that momentum as they return to domestic action this Saturday against Sassuolo.
Serie A Preview
Inter Milan’s chances of winning the Serie A title this season have already been dented over the early weeks of the campaign, as they sit eight points off the current league leaders. However, they will be looking to get back on track in the Italian top-flight this weekend, as they bid to end a run of three defeats in their previous four fixtures.
Inter has lost each of their previous two league fixtures, which made their Champions League success against Barcelona in mid-week even more shocking. Their last domestic fixture ended in defeat at the San Siro, as Inter were beaten 2-1 by AS Roma. Inter led after half an hour through a Federico Dimarco goal. However, Jose Mourinho’s side struck back in the second half with two goals of their own.
Sassuolo actually comes into this Serie A fixture above Inter Milan in the standings, as they have won each of their previous two games in the Italian top-flight. They currently sit eighth in the standings and could move above Juventus with a victory this Saturday.
Sassuolo has been hard to beat throughout the season, as they have lost just two fixtures from a possible eight. They have been in excellent form in recent weeks, as they have won their previous two, and have lost just once in their last five. Sassuolo were very healthy winners in their previous fixture, as they eased to a 5-0 success against Salernitana. Armand Lauriente, Andrea Pinamonti and Kristian Thorstvedt were among the scorers.
Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Head to Head
Across the previous 18 meetings between these two sides, both Sassuolo and Inter have picked up eight wins apiece. Sassuolo were winners in the previous meeting between the sides in February, as they won 2-0 at the San Siro. However, Inter were unbeaten in six before that defeat.
Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Prediction
It will be interesting to see what effect their Champions League efforts in mid-week will have on Inter’s performance this weekend. They have another huge showdown with Barcelona next week, which means we could see Sassuolo taking advantage and recording a second straight win in this fixture.
