Sassuolo vs Inter Milan prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Desperate to return to winning ways, Inter Milan take on Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium in Serie A on Saturday.
The Nerazzurri are coming into this game on the back of consecutive draws in all competitions. Inter drew 2-2 against Atalanta Serie A last weekend before securing a 0-0 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe on Tuesday.
The stalemates seem to have punctured some of their early momentum and are looking to get their campaign back on track sooner rather than later.
They will be pleased to see their rivals this weekend in a rut of their own, struggling in the bottom half of the standings following a disappointing start to the new campaign.
Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Head-To-Head
There have been 17 previous clashes between the sides, and quite remarkably, Sassuolo have come out on top on more occasions.
With eight wins, the Neroverdi narrowly edge in front of their mighty rivals, who've beaten them only seven times before.
Only two of their previous clashes have ended in draws.

Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Prediction
Sassuolo have flattered to deceive so far in the new campaign, struggling with a misfiring attack that has netted only six times.
Inter Milan, though beset with their problems, have enough firepower to shoot down the Neroverdi in their own backyard.
Prediction: Sassuolo 1-2 Inter Milan
