Inter Milan vs Sassuolo prediction, preview, team news and more

The Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Inter Milan take on Sassuolo on Sunday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

Sassuolo are in 12th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Neroverdi played out a 2-2 draw against AS Roma last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have slumped this month. The Nerazzurri were outclassed by Liverpool in the Champions League in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.

Inter Milan and Sassuolo are on an even footing as far as the official head-to-head record is concerned and have won eight games apiece out of a total of 18 matches played between the two teams.

The previous meeting between the two sides took place in October last year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Inter Milan. Sassuolo were not at their best on the day and have a point to prove this weekend.

He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
