Internazionale seem unstoppable in their chase for the Serie A title and are in prime position to bag it for the first time since 2010. In their next game, Inter, who lead the standings on 65 points will be at home to eighth placed Sassuolo, who have so far garnered 39 points. Lautaro Martinez scored a late winner for Inter in their last match, as they beat Torino 2-1 to keep a nine point lead intact. This season they’ve been the best in attack, and so far, have scored 65 goals in the league, while they have the least losses (2) in the league and the best goal difference (+39). Antonio Conte’s side struggled a bit defensively but seems to be getting it right lately, with three clean sheets in their last five matches, and seven in 10 league matches. Inter have six straight wins, and are unbeaten in eight matches across all competitions. Early elimination from other competitions seems to have worked well for Inter as their full focus on the league is paying off. In the Serie A, they are unbeaten in 11, with eight straight wins going to this game. They have 10 straight home wins in the league and scored two or more in eight of them. Their home form in the league this season has the team on 11 wins, a loss and a draw in the 13 matches played. They’ve won 34 out of a possible 39 points at home in Serie A.

Sassuolo are coming from a loss; their Wednesday game against Torino ended in a 3-2 defeat and they have themselves to blame. They took a 2-0 lead to half time but capitulated in the last 13 minutes to concede three goals. It leaves them standing out as the poorest defensive side in the top 14, having conceded 44 goals, and doesn’t augur so well for a team going to face the best attacking side in the league. Sassuolo’s ambitions for Europe are as good as over, with the team currently sitting 11 points below the final Europa League slot. Their 3-2 win over Hellas Verona earlier had suggested a change in tide but now it only sticks out as their second win in a run of 12 matches. They’ve conceded two goals or more in each of their last four matches and have no clean sheet in the last 16 league games. In their last seven away league matches, Sassuolo have five losses and conceded two or more in each of the losses. In 14 away league matches this season, Sassuolo have six wins and have gained 21 points from a possible 42 in away matches in the league.
