A 1-1 draw last week vs Napoli did not help their case but Milan’s result on Saturday gives them the chance to get back to the top of the table tonight.
Inter is 2nd in the table with 54 points and can get to the top with a win under their belt.
On the other hand, Sassuolo drew against Roma in their previous Serie A clash last week 2-2. Smalling (og) and Traore’s goals were cancelled out by Abraham and Cristante.

Inter possible 11:
Handanovic, Skriniar, de Vrij, Dimarco, Dumfries, Gagliardini, Barella, Calhanoglu, Perisic, Sanchez and Martinez
Sassuolo possible 11:
Consigli, Rogério, Ayhan, Chiriches, Müldür, Lopez, Frattesi, Berardi, Raspadori, Traore and Scamacca
Prediction: Inter 2-1 Sassuolo
This should be a good watch given how neither side is in good form and desperately searching for a positive result.
We expect a cagey affair but given Inter’s experience and squad depth; they should nick this one.
Players to watch out for: Sanchez, Martinez, Scamacca and Traore.
