Sassuolo – Inter

Sassuolo head into the clash on the back of a mixed start to the campaign, sitting ninth with seven points from two wins, a draw and a loss and a narrow 8‑7 goal difference. Inter, by contrast, sit third after a flawless three‑game winning run that has taken them to nine points and an impressive 8‑3 tally. The home side will be looking to close the gap on the table, while the visitors will aim to extend their unbeaten run and maintain the three‑point cushion over their rivals. Historically the two clubs have met several times in Serie A, with Inter generally holding the upper hand, a trend that could prove decisive as the teams meet at the Mapei Stadium.
