Head-to-head statistics Sassuolo - Inter
Sassuolo Calcio Team Overview

Latest news
Sassuolo Calcio
📣 Sassuolo head coach Fabio Grosso emphasized the significance of their 3-1 victory over Pisa: "This win is a great boost of energy. We've achieved a good result. There are many positives today, but also plenty we need to improve. When we switched off during the match, like at the start of the second half, we risked handing the initiative to our opponents. But then we regained control, scored a third goal, and came close to adding a fourth several times."
🚫 Sassuolo's personnel issues are all short-term. The participation of three players is in doubt: Edoardo Pieragnolo and Daniel Boloca are recovering from muscle injuries, while Fali Candé is experiencing physical discomfort. A final decision on their availability will be made before the match.
Inter Milano
📣 After the match against Torino (2-1), Inter's head coach Cristian Chivu expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance: "I'm pleased with how the team played, the energy they showed on the pitch, and what we managed to create. We struggled a bit towards the end due to the opponent's pride, but we're happy to have advanced." On the transfer campaign, he added: "The club tried until the end to do what we asked for. Unfortunately, the transfer market is a tough arena. We have 23 players and some from the U23 squad ready to step up. We'll keep pushing forward, responding blow for blow throughout the rest of the season."
🚫 Inter are also facing some squad issues. Key midfielders Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella will be sidelined until mid-February due to muscle injuries. Denzel Dumfries will be out even longer, missing games until the end of February because of an ankle injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Inter have struggled to completely neutralize Sassuolo's attack for quite some time now-the "Neroverdi" have found the back of the net in each of their last eight Serie A encounters. This season, the "Nerazzurri" appear less solid defensively compared to last year, frequently allowing chances at their goal. Considering these factors, betting on a Sassuolo goal seems like a reasonable option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
This season, Inter play with clear territorial and gameplay dominance, which directly impacts their corner statistics: the team averages 6.9 corners per match and confidently leads Serie A in this category. It's also worth noting their head-to-head numbers against Sassuolo-Inter have taken over 4.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 league meetings with these opponents. This will be our bet.
Editor's Prediction
According to bookmakers, Inter are the clear favorites in the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that. The Nerazzurri currently look like a well-oiled machine, with only a few teams in Italy capable of halting their momentum. They are racking up victories one after another, often winning by two or more goals. Therefore, even with home support, Sassuolo are unlikely to pose significant resistance to the visitors. Our pick for this match is an Inter victory. We expect to see a 1-3 scoreline on the board.
