Sassuolo preview: Steady Sassuolo
The truth is, with the Seuss that they had boasting the likes of Domenico Berardi and Armand Lauriente, Sassuolo should never have been in Serie B and, sitting firmly in the middle-of-the-table in Serie A is exactly where they should expect to position themselves.
Fabio Grosso's outfit do come into this one on the back of a couple of victories, too, defeating Cremonese by a goal to nil and then Pisa by three goals to one in Tuscany at Arena Garibaldi last weekend.
Inter Milan preview: League leaders Inter
Internazionale have returned to the summit of Italian football for the vast majority of this season with Cristian Chivu overseeing a group of players seemingly playing with a bit of a point to prove, following the departure of Simone Inzaghi.
The Nerazzurri have been very solid and extremely difficult for pretty much any team to play against throughout this campaign and their lead at the top-of-the-table over AC Milan is now at five points ahead of this weekend's round of fixtures.

Sassuolo vs Inter Milan prediction
Those victories for Sassuolo in recent weeks have come against the two teams that joined them in gaining promotion to the top-flight this season and so shouldn't necessarily be too big of a deal. Inter themselves have found it tough against the best this year but have made minced meat of the rest and they should be expected to extend their current league winning streak to five matches on Sunday evening.
