Bitesize Prediction: Sassuolo vs Inter Milan – 04/05/24

Competition: Serie A

Market: Inter Milan win

Odds: 8/15 @ Pribet

Already getting their hands on this season’s Serie A crown, Inter Milan will simply be looking to keep up their part atmosphere when they travel to Sassuolo on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, while some in Sassuolo’s camp might have opened up the 2023/24 campaign dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine top-half charge, the Nerovedri have endured a real Serie A nightmare this season. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat firmly in the drop zone and four points adrift of safety, Davide Ballardini’s men have a major uphill battle on their hands. Last seen putting on another woeful performance as they slumped to a routine 5-1 drumming away at Fiorentina, the former Genoa boss has not seen his squad collect a single victory from any of their previous six top-flight appearances. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have claimed just a sole Serie A victory from any of their last 15 consecutive outings – a rut that stems all the way back to January 6th. With their recent glaring issues underlined by a 3-0 loss at home against Lecce on April 21st, Sassuolo should be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge here.

As for the visitors, already wrapping up a 20th Serie A crown with plenty of time to spare, Inter Milan have enjoyed a history-making domestic romp this season. With the mood in Simone Inzaghi’s men at a famous high, the Italian champions will simply be looking to make another statement here. Last seen putting in a routine display as they clinched a 2-0 victory at home against Torino, the former Lazio boss has remarkably seen his record-breaking squad lose just a single defeat from any of their 34 Serie A appearances this year. With their stunning purple patch underlined by a 2-1 victory against arch-rivals AC Milan on April 22nd, the Nerazzurri have also continued to gain a fearsome reputation for their success away from the San Siro. Winning all of their previous five straight trips to Sassuolo by an aggregate score of 12-5, we are backing Inter Milan to extend on their party atmosphere here. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class, we are backing an away victory this weekend.
