Sassuolo – Inter

Sassuolo will resist the favourites in the encounter

Sassuolo's disappointing start to the season is a thing of the past. In the last five rounds, the team have lost only once and won the last two. A minimal win over Torino was followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Salernitana. What stands out from past seasons is the number of goals conceded. "The Neroverdi have established their defensive game: they have revealed eight times in eight rounds, but all the goals have come in three matches. It is important to note that last season, Sassuolo managed to keep their goal intact in just three games! Also worth mentioning is the draw against Milan, which could well have been a win had Berrardi converted the spot-kick. By the way, Dominic should be ready for the upcoming game. Dionisi's men, who have already got their game together, will have a big selling point. Inter, after two disappointing matches, managed to pull off a win. "The Serpents were able to beat Barcelona in the Champions League, not by quality but by ease. For the Milan club, this win is worth its weight in gold, as it allowed them to reach the interim second place in the quartet C. To make matters worse for Simone Inzaghi's men, the return leg (the away game) comes four days after the match in question. The fact that Correa got injured in the European Cup game does not add to the optimism. De Wray, Brozovic and Lukaku are also in doubt. In previous fixtures, the Nerazzurri lost to Udinese and Roma. Before that, there was a humiliating win over Torino and a defeat by Milan. Inter are not playing their best football, and ninth place perfectly reflects that. But the game against Barcelona will be decisive for the club in European competition. Therefore, the match against Sassuolo is unlikely to be favoured by Inzaghi. It is worth noting that the Snakes have only beaten the Neroverdi by more than one goal in their last five head-to-head games. Furthermore, the Milan club have twice won 2-1, played out a draw and lost their last meeting 0-2. This meeting is unlikely to be a breakthrough one for Inter. With all the introductory factors, it will be extremely difficult for the Nerazzurri to pull off a win. If they do, it will be minimal.
