Match Context

Inter approach the fixture as leaders of the Italian championship. Cristian Chivu’s side are entering a demanding February schedule, with matches in Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, as well as crucial clashes against direct title rivals. Any slip-up at this stage could prove costly in the race for the Scudetto.

Sassuolo are traditionally considered a tricky opponent for the Milan club. Fabio Grosso’s team caused Inter plenty of problems earlier in the season and will be aiming for a major upset tonight — one that could reignite the title race.
