Inter Milan continue the defence of their Italian Serie A title with a trip to MAPEI Stadium to face Sassuolo. The hosts are always dangerous opponents for the big teams but given their slow start to the season and with Inter still unbeaten in the league, the Champions should come out on top.
Sassuolo were 1-0 winners over newly promoted Salernitana in their previous Serie A fixture. They were made to work hard for the win with Domenico Berardi's second half effort proving to be the difference.
It was the first win for Sassuolo since a 3-2 victory over Verona in their opening fixture. Alessio Dionisi’s men have lost three of their last four Serie A matches and are sitting in the bottom half of the table.
Home form was a key part of Sassuolo’s campaign last term but they have struggled to replicate that form with just one victory at MAPEI Stadium this term.
Inter Milan played out a 2-2 draw at home against Atalanta last time out in Serie A with Lautaro Martinez and Edin Dzeko getting the goals. They followed that up with another stalemate as they were held 0-0 by Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League.
The Serie A champions are going through a tricky time and have failed to secure a win in their last two fixtures across all competitions. However, Simone Inzaghi’s men remain unbeaten in Italy and are just four points behind leaders Napoli.
Inter Milan have won four of their six Serie A matches this season with a 6-1 triumph over Bologna their biggest victory so far. The Nerazzurri have however failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Serie A matches.
