Inter Milan will look to strengthen their hold on the Serie A title race when they travel to face Sassuolo on Sunday evening, at the Mapei Stadium, in Matchday 24 of the Italian league.
The Nerazzurri arrive as league leaders after 23 rounds, sitting top of the standings with 55 points, while Sassuolo occupy 11th place on 29 points, aiming to climb away from the crowded mid-table pack.
Inter’s resurgence this season has been one of the standout stories in Italian football.
Under the guidance of head coach Cristian Chivu, the Milan giants have rediscovered their authority, mounting a convincing title charge following the departure of Simone Inzaghi.
Chivu has built a disciplined and motivated squad determined to restore Inter’s dominance at the domestic level.
Consistency has been Inter’s defining trait throughout the campaign. The league leaders have proven extremely difficult to break down, opening up a five-point advantage over city rivals AC Milan, their closest challengers at the top of the table.
Inter also head into Sunday’s encounter buoyed by recent cup success, having secured a 2–1 victory over Torino in the Coppa Italia quarterfinals to book their place in the semifinals, a result that further boosted confidence within the squad.
Their league form has been equally impressive, with Inter unbeaten in their last 11 Serie A matches, registering 10 wins and a single draw during that run, a sequence that highlights their momentum at a crucial stage of the season.
Sassuolo, meanwhile, will be hoping to derail the leaders on home soil. Led by captain Domenico Berardi and forward Armand Laurienté, the hosts are targeting a statement result that could lift them away from mid-table obscurity and reignite their push up the standings.
While Inter enter the match as clear favorites on paper, Sassuolo’s attacking threat and home advantage ensure the contest carries potential for drama, as the Serie A leaders seek yet another step toward reclaiming the Scudetto.
