Inter vs Sassuolo prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-09-20 18:45.
[p]Inter Milan may be fearing this meeting with recent nemesis Sassuolo, in which both teams are looking for their second win of this Serie A campaign.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Inter Milan scored twice from corners on Wednesday to win 2-0 against Ajax to begin their UEFA Champions League campaign on a high. That was a relief for under-fire manager Cristian Chivu, who oversaw two Serie A defeats after starting the campaign with a 5-0 win over Torino at the San Siro. The Nerazzurri haven’t lost three league games in a row since April 2023 and another loss would condemn them to equalling an unwanted club record of three defeats in the first four games of a new top-flight campaign, previously registered in 1983/84.[/p]
[p]As the only side to not claim a point in the opening two matchdays, Sassuolo bounced back with a 1-0 win over Lazio last weekend – their second competitive win of the season by such a scoreline (L2). Fabio Grosso’s men haven’t posted consecutive league wins since September 2023, but ominously the second victory in that sequence came away to Inter! Repeating that feat will require some improvement on their recent away form at this level, as Sassuolo have lost 11 of their last 14 Serie A away trips (D3) going back to their relegation-bound 2023/24 season.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Sassuolo won both H2Hs in the 2023/24 season and, together with Juventus, they are one of two teams to do so against Inter in the last seven campaigns. Inter remain Sassuolo’s favourite opposition to visit as the Neroverdi have defeated them away in the top flight more times (five) than any other club.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Marcus Thuram scored Inter’s last three competitive goals and may take his time to influence the game as six of his last eight league strikes arrived beyond the hour mark. Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti started his senior career with Inter and may also be a late bloomer in this game as eight of his last ten league goals came after the break.[/p]
[p]Matteo Darmian missed Inter’s Champions League match but is likely to be available here. Sassuolo have no new injury concerns with Laurs Skjellerup nearing full fitness.[/p]
