Inter MilanMatch Preview
Inter Milan travel to Modena to take on Sussuolo this weekend, with the home side looking to cause another upset following their win at Sampdoria last time around. However, with Inter having shown vast improvements under boss Luciano Spalletti, it promises to be a tough afternoon for Sussuolo in front of their home fans. With a host of bets expected to be placed on the match, let’s take a closer look at the two teams for those still unsure of who to back. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the home side.
Sassuolo Team News & Form
Two consecutive Serie A wins over Sampdoria and Crotone have lifted Sassuolo into 15th position in the standings, with manager Giuseppe Iachini having seen his team vastly improve upon their performances over recent weeks. However, with this side having already lost 10 times this season domestically, the former Palermo and Udinese boss will be looking to the likes of Alessandro Matri and Domenico Berardi to ensure that his team are competitive against Inter on Saturday afternoon. Sussuolo are the second-lowest scorers in the Italian top-flight, with the strugglers having found the back of the net just 11 times in their 17 matches.
Inter Milan Team News & Form
Inter suffered a surprise 3-1 home defeat against Udinese last time around, their first loss of the season in Serie A. However, they remain just two points behind league leaders Napoli thanks to 12 wins from 17 matches, with both Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic having been in fine form all season long for the Milan giants. Inter have scored 34 goals so far this season in Serie A, with Icardi topping the goalscoring charts with 17 on his own. Meanwhile, the defensive partnership between Miranda and Milan Škriniar has helped to make Inter an extremely difficult team to break down.
Head to Head
The two teams have met eight times in the past, with both clubs having four wins to their name, with not a single draw having been played out between the duo. Inter defeated Sussuolo 1-0 away from home last season, before the Modena-based club got their revenge at the San Siro.
