Sassuolo vs Inter

Sassuolo

<p>Following a 3-1 win over Pisa last time out, newly promoted Sassuolo have back-to-back victories [LLLWW]. They prepare to host Inter at the MAPEI Stadium.</p> <p>Sunday’s clash pits the 11th-placed Sassuolo, with 29 points, against Inter who lead with 55 points. While Sassuolo sit below the halfway point and appear relatively safe from relegation concerns, it remains a difficult assignment against a title-chasing Inter.</p> <p>Sassuolo have endured an inconsistent spell, losing 50 percent of their last six league matches. Yet head-to-head form suggests they are not entirely without hope, with three victories in the last six clashes against Inter.</p> <p>Fabio Grosso's side will be keen to pick up a streak of three victories in a row when they welcome the league leaders to the MAPEI Stadium. A 4—3—3 formation with Andrea Pinamonti, Dominico Berardi and Armand Laurienté in attack is expected against Inter.</p>

Inter

<p>Inter beat Cremonese 2-0 last time out, arriving in formidable form, particularly away from home. They have won each of their last seven Serie A away games, demonstrating tactical maturity and mental resilience in hostile environments.</p> <p>Their ability to control matches from the outset is evident. Inter have not been behind at half time in any of their last 15 league fixtures.</p> <p>Consistency has defined Inter’s broader campaign as well. They have avoided defeat in 48 of their last 56 Serie A matches and are unbeaten in their last 11 league outings.</p> <p>However, this fixture may not produce a flood of goals. Inter’s last four away league games have all finished with under 2.5 goals.</p> <p>Inter enter as clear favorites given their relentless form and commanding position at the top of the table. Still, Sassuolo’s occasional success in this fixture offers a reminder that surprises are possible in Serie A.</p> <p>If the visitors maintain their usual composure, they will edge closer to the title. However, they cannot afford complacency against a side that has proven capable of upsetting elite opposition.</p> <p>A 3—5—2 formation with Lautaro Martinez and Thuram in attack is expected against Sassuolo.</p>
