-----------------------------
Inter Milan, unbeaten in their last 11 Serie A matches, aim to continue their strong run by taking on Sassuolo. The league leaders have pulled ahead at the start of 2026. A win this weekend could extend their lead over AC Milan to eight points.

Team Analysis:
Inter Milan continued their dominant run with victories over Cremonese, Pisa, and Borussia Dortmund, keeping their Scudetto and European ambitions alive. They also reached the Coppa Italia semi-finals after beating Torino, maintaining momentum despite rotating key players. This weekend, they travel to face Sassuolo, a team that has historically challenged them, aiming to extend their unbeaten away streak in Serie A.

Player Situation:
Inter Milan will field a stronger, more familiar lineup against Sassuolo on Sunday, with Federico Dimarco returning to the left wing after a standout January. Key players Denzel Dumfries, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Nicolo Barella remain sidelined, though Carlos Augusto is expected to return. The match will feature a clash between top scorers Lautaro Martinez and Domenico Berardi, while Sassuolo looks to support ex-Inter striker Andrea Pinamonti.

Result Prediction:
Sassuolo have historically challenged Inter, but the title contenders are in exceptional form, especially on the road with seven consecutive Serie A away wins. Inter’s attacking depth makes them capable of scoring against any team. They are expected to secure maximum points and return to Milan with another victory.

Predicted Result: Sassuolo 1-2 Inter Milan.
