Inter Milan will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they welcome Sassuolo to Giuseppe Meazza for a crucial Serie A fixture on Saturday night with kickoff at 20:00.
Inter Milan have slumped this month with the side winning just one of their last four matches across all competitions, picking up a draw while losing two in the run. The run has seen them fall behind their city rivals AC Milan in the Serie A standings after they were beaten by the leaders in the Derby della Madonnina on Feb fifth. They were outclassed by Liverpool in their first leg of the last-16 of the Champions League at Meazza last Wednesday night, with Firmino and Mo Salah sealing the deal for the Merseyside giants.
Therefore, the Nerazzurri will need to bounce get back on track immediately in the Sunday clash against a struggling Sassuolo. The Scudetto holders will fancy their chances as they are unbeaten in their last six matches against their Sunday opponents, winning in all the last three including the 2-1 victory at away in the reverse fixture.
Meanwhile Sassuolo made a good start to the campaign with the side spending most of the first-half of the season in the top half and middle of the table. However, the Neroverdi have also hit a slump in the recent weeks with the club claiming just one win in their last eight league matches and as a result have dropped into the 12th spot with three points off the top-half.
Alessio Dionisi’s side were on the verge of claiming a massive confidence-boosting 2-1 win against Roma last Saturday, but a last-minute goal from Bryan Cristante saw the game end in a share of spoils marking their fourth consecutive winless match.
Sassuolo will not be worried about be dragged into the relegation scrap at the moment as they nine points off the relegation zone, but will need to start putting wins on the board in the next weeks as a couple of more slip-ups will leave them facing a possible relegation battle.
