Preview: Sassuolo vs Inter Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26

Can Cristian Chivu lead his side to five consecutive wins?

Matchweek 24 of the Serie A takes us to the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia, where the home team, Sassuolo, are set to lock horns against Inter Milan.

Sassuolo are placed 11th in the Serie A table, and a win could possibly take them to the eighth spot. After three consecutive defeats, they are coming after two back-to-back wins. They are led by Italian gaffer Fabio Grosso, who has previously led teams like Lyon and Brescia Calcio before making a move to Emilia Romagna.

Inter Milan are at the summit of the Serie A table and have a five-point lead at the top. They are coming after four consecutive wins and also made it to the Coppa Italia semi-finals recently after defeating Torino. They are led by Romanian gaffer Cristian Chivu, who took over the reins after Simone Inzaghi headed to Al Hilal.
