Inter vs. Sassuolo: Match Prediction
Christian Chivu's charges started the current championship with a convincing 5-0 win over Torino, but subsequently lost two consecutive matches, conceding a total of six goals. Moreover, Inter's defense has been unreliable at home recently, keeping only two clean sheets in their last eight Serie A home games.
In the current championship, Sassuolo has already scored two goals in an away game against Cremonese, and the team has been effective offensively in recent outings, scoring in five of their last away matches in the Italian top flight. Additionally, Sassuolo has found the net in their last five encounters with Inter at San Siro, scoring ten goals in that span.
I expect at least one goal from the visitors, so my prediction: Sassuolo individual total over 0.5
