After putting their one foot in the Champions League finals, the Nerazzurri will resume their quest to cement their position in the Serie A top-four in Inter vs Sassuolo. The most anticipated Derby della Madonnina ended with a comfortable win for Inter, so they will be confident coming into this game. They are on a six-game winning run. So they will be hoping to continue with their rhythm in this crucial phase. While Sassuolo are going through a rough patch recently and will have to upset Inter if they wish to move to the top half of the table.
The visitors have fared at the San Siro, as they thrashed Milan 5-2 in January. However, against Inter they have won only once in their last eight encounters in Serie A. Dzeko scored a brace in the reverse fixture to help Inter win 2-1. The Bosnian striker is in-form for this game as well, but he might start on the bench. Sassuolo have struggled away from the home soil and have conceded at least twice in their last four away games.
Inter vs Sassuolo Serie A: team news, tactics, and prediction
Inzaghi will make plenty of changes to manage his team between the two crucial derbies. Lukaku and Correa should start at the front, as Inzaghi would like Lautaro and Dzeko to be fresh for the second leg. De Vrij, Brozovic, and D’Ambrosio should return as they got to rest in the semi-final clash midweek.
While Pinamonti will be back for Sassuolo after serving his suspension. The Inter loanee will be eager to perform against his parent club. Inter will have to be wary of Berardi, who is in terrific form for the Neroverdi.
Prediction
Sassuolo will pose a threat to a changed Inter Milan lineup on the weekend. But the Nerazzurri should get past them at their home.
Inter Milan 3-1 Sassuolo.
