Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Predictions

• Five of the last six Serie A games to feature Inter Milan have contained goals at both ends.
• Four of the last six head-to-head meetings between Sassuolo and Inter have seen both teams score.
• Only four Serie A teams have outscored Inter this season, but only five have conceded more often.

Nerazzurri claim massive win

Simone Inzaghi had begun to come under pressure after leading Inter Milan to just four wins from their first eight Serie A matches this season, but Tuesday’s crucial 1-0 triumph over Barcelona boosted their hopes of Champions League progression. The Nerazzurri will hope that result can serve as a turning point, though they may not have it all their only way against Sassuolo on Saturday.

Indeed, Sassuolo beat Inter 2-0 in their last head-to-head meeting in February, and they have turned their own poor start around with a run of one defeat in seven games, three of which were wins. The Neroverdi had been involved in several low-scoring games this term, but appear to have rediscovered their attacking prowess after a 5-0 thrashing of Salernitana, in which they created 3.3 expected goals (xG). 130 goals were scored across Sassuolo’s 38 league games last season, and they should be expected to push Inter on Saturday.

Inter produced a resolute defensive showing to shut Barcelona out in midweek, but they have struggled to keep the goals out this campaign – only five Serie A teams have conceded more than their 13 goals against this season, and five of their last six league games have contained goals at both ends. However, their attacking strength has remained – only four Serie A teams have outscored them this season, and they are hoping to welcome Romelu Lukaku back from injury soon.

Goals at both ends likely

While Inter will hope Tuesday’s win provides them with some momentum ahead of a busy fixture schedule, Sassuolo have enough talent to trouble them, and backing both teams to score may be the best play – it has been a winning bet in four of the duo’s last six meetings.

However, the Nerazzurri should have enough about them to clinch back-to-back victories, making a 2-1 away win a decent correct score prediction.
