The Nerazzurri keep fighting on two fronts and they are favourites to win in these Inter vs. Sassuolo predictions. Alessio Dionisi’s side have been underwhelming this season, but remain among a congested mid-table grouping.
Inter vs. Sassuolo odds
1 – Inter to win – 17/35
2 – Romelu Lukaku to score – 7/5
3 – Inter to win by one goal – 3/1
4 – Both teams to score – 13/16
5 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 8/13
Sassuolo travel to face Inter on Saturday evening, looking for a second consecutive victory at the San Siro over the Nerazzurri.
Goals from Gianluca Scamacca and Giacamo Raspadori secured the Neroverdi the win back in 2022. But, with both players leaving over the summer, Sassuolo fans have had less to celebrate this year. In further misfortune for Alessio Dionisi’s side, they come up against an Inter team in their best form of the season.
Inter go into Saturday’s game on the back of four consecutive wins in Serie A, the last a well-executed and hard-fought win over Roma. With Romelu Lukaku finally looking back to his former self, Sassuolo look destined to fall to a home win with a goal from the Belgian.
Saturday’s game is far from a done deal, however, as the hosts have a difficult schedule to maintain. The Milan derbies in the Champions League fall either side of Saturday’s match, with Simone Inzaghi having just two days to prepare for the visit of Sassuolo.
Even without enforced rotation, Inter have only managed single-goal victories over their weekend opponents in four of the last six meetings. A wager on a similarly low margin could pay off on Saturday.
One area in which Sassuolo might be encouraged is Inter’s defence. Dionisi’s front three will match up against a defensive line that is already missing Milan Skriniar and Danilo D’Ambrosio. With Domenico Berardi on one flank and Armand Lauriente on the other, the Neroverdi undoubtedly have the most creative wingers in the bottom half of the table – and they will look to exploit any weakness at the San Siro.
While Inter are highly likely to score, a bet on Sassuolo to get in on the act may be worth the odds – as might a punt on a high scoring encounter with over 2.5 goals on Saturday.
