Internazionale moved closer to their first Serie A title in over a decade with a 1-0 win over Bologna on Sunday and will be looking to open an 11-point gap at the top of the table when they host Sassuolo. Inter head to this game top of the table with 68 points, eight clear of second placed AC Milan and 28 ahead of their visitors, who are placed ninth. On Sunday Inter registered a 1-0 win away to Bologna with Romelu Lukaku scoring his 20th league goal of the season. That was their seventh straight win and ninth unbeaten outing since the 1-0 loss to Juventus in the Coppa Italia and they are now unbeaten in their last 12 Serie A matches, with 10 wins in there. With their opponents dropping points in recent weeks, Inter’s charge to the league title will be hard to stop; they have nine straight league wins and just one loss in the last 24 Serie A matches. At home in the league, they have 10 straight wins, and lost just once in the 13 played this season. At 36 goals in Serie A at home this season, Inter have scored just under three goals per game at home, which is well captured in their last five league games at home, where they’ve scored 13 and conceded one goal. In their last three meetings with Sassuolo, Inter have scored at least three goals, and they are unbeaten in the last four.

Sassuolo are coming from a 2-2 draw with AS Roma, a game in which they twice had to come from behind. A late goal from Giacomo Raspadori earned them the vital point but they’re still without a clean sheet in their last 18 matches across all competitions. Sassuolo’s returns in defence and attack have been in stark contrast. They’ve been good in attack, led by Domenico Berardi and Francesco Caputo, both who have scored 11 Serie A goals this season. Their contribution, and the team’s effort, well captured in the fact the team has scored 10 goals in their last five matches, though they’ve won only one in the process. The team is however also poor in defence, and going to this game, has conceded 12 goals in the last five matches. They have only four wins in the last 17 league matches and one away win and five losses in the last seven in Serie A. In six of their last eight away matches in Serie A, Sassuolo have conceded two or more goals. In their last five league matches, they’ve beaten Hellas Verona, and drawn with Roma and Napoli, all sides above them and they’ll be hoping to get a favorable result against Inter too.
