Inter Milan Match Betting News
Inter Milan managed to get over their disappointment of losing to Lazio ahead of the winter break by claiming a typically solid 1-0 victory over Empoli in midweek and the three points has meant that Roberto Mancini’s men are still holding on to top spot.
No less than four teams are looking to dethrone Inter from the summit though and as a result, avoiding any slip up will be of paramount importance for the Nerazzurri.
Inter now prepare for a clash against Sassuolo at the San Siro on Sunday and given the away side’s exploits this season, the match is sure to be a huge test for Mancini’s men. Nemanja Vidic and Jeison Murillo remain sidelined for Inter while Felipe Melo will be serving the 2nd of his three match suspension.
Sassuolo Match Betting News
Eusebio di Francesco has worked wonders at Sassuolo over the past few years and the Neroverdi currently find themselves in the dizzying heights of 6th place in the table following a fine start to the season.
However, di Francesco would have been left very disappointed that his side were unable to claim victories over struggling Hellas Verona and Frosinone during their last two encounters and the dropped points could prove to be detrimental in their hopes of finishing in Europe this season.
Up next for Sassuolo is a daunting trip to the San Siro to square off against leaders Inter Milan and the match will surely be a good judge of their European credentials. Emanuele Terranova remains out with injury while Lorenzo Pellegrini will not be featuring due to suspension.
Inter Milan vs Sassuolo Match Prediction
Inter Milan had managed a stunning 7-0 victory over Sassuolo in the corresponding fixture last season but one can be sure that a repeat of such a score line will not be on the cards this time around.
Sassuolo are a very good side and while Inter are expected to claim the three points on the day, they will surely have to earn it with a good display.
