Inter Milan return to Serie A action on Sunday with the aim of building on their Champions League success in midweek. Cristian Chivu’s men travel back from Amsterdam in high spirits after a 2-0 victory over Ajax. However, Inter’s form in Serie A has been patchy.
Having returned to Serie A as Serie B champions, Sassuolo endured a tough start with defeats to Napoli and Cremonese. Yet they announced themselves properly last weekend, shocking Lazio with a 1-0 victory courtesy of Alieu Fadera’s late goal. It was a result that underlined both their spirit and manager Fabio Grosso’s tactical knowledge.

(Odds via BetMGM)
With Napoli and Juventus setting the pace at the top, Inter cannot afford another slip at this stage of the season. Sassuolo, however, are a side that Inter have often struggled against. The Neroverdi have beaten Inter 10 times in their 22 Serie A meetings and have taken points from seven of their last nine visits to San Siro.
Inter will have to be on guard despite the gulf in quality between the two squads. The home side remain favourites, but with Sassuolo growing in confidence and carrying a history of strong results at San Siro, this clash may be more competitive than it appears on paper. Chivu’s men know only a win will do as they look to steady their league campaign and keep the pressure on their rivals at the top.

Inter tightened up their defence in the 2-0 win over Ajax in midweek. Expect a similar game control from Chivu after the Champions League trip. Meanwhile, three of Sassuolo’s last four games have finished below 3.5 goals (1-0 vs Lazio, 0-2 vs Napoli, 1-0 vs Catanzaro). As a promoted side, Grosso’s team has leaned on compact shapes away from home. With Inter likely to dominate territory rather, Under 3.5 goals is a sensible play here.
Lautaro Martinez to score anytime @ +125 as per BetMGM:
Inter captain Lautaro Martinez has opened the new campaign at a slower pace by his usual high standards. He has only scored once in three Serie A outings so far. However, the Argentine remains a proven force in Serie A. With the responsibility of leading Inter’s line, Martinez is well-positioned to get back on track with a goal.

Inter remain a side in transition under new management, and their performances have been unpredictable this season. Sassuolo are capable of creating problems, but Inter’s greater firepower and home advantage make them favourites to grind out a narrow victory.
