Sassuolo will look to continue their resurgence in Serie A when they host Inter Milan at the Mapei Stadium in their Matchday Nine tie on Saturday evening.
Sassuolo had a difficult start to their Serie A campaign this season, winning just one in their opening six matches, while losing two and drawing three in the process.
However, Alesio Dionisi’s side have now won their last two, beating Torino 1-0 at away before strongly dispatching Salernitana 5-0 at home last time out and therefore they will look to maintain their new found winning form on Saturday.
Meanwhile Inter Milan continue to struggle to find their stride this season in Serie A as a 2-1 home defeat to Roma last time out meant that they have now lost three of their last four league matches.
So far they have won four and lost four of their eight matches and sit ninth on 12 points, one behind their Saturday hosts and eight points off Napoli at the summit of the table.
The Nerazzuri are coming off a 1-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday. the victory though narrow will be a crucial confidence-booster for Simone Inzaghi’s side, who need to build on it to get their domestic league campaign back on track.
