Inter have scored the most goals in Serie A in this calendar year (45).
Only Juventus (10) have won more home games than Inter (9 level with Roma and Bologna) in this calendar year in Serie A.
Since his return to Inter (2021/22), Federico Dimarco is the player who has been involved in the most goals in Serie A among full backs: 35, 16 goals and 19 assists.
Inter and Sassuolo have a balanced record in Serie A, with 10 wins each and two draws. Specifically, the Neroverdi have won their last two games against the Nerazzurri and could reach three for the first time since August 2018 (four in a row, in that case).
Sassuolo have drawn only two of their 22 Serie A matches against Inter (W10 L10): among the teams they have faced at least 20 times in the competition, they are the one against which the Neroverdi have recorded the fewest draws.
After losing their first two away games against Inter in Serie A, Sassuolo have gone unbeaten in seven of their next nine, winning five of them, including the most recent (2-1, 27 September 2023); overall, the Nerazzurri are the opponent against whom the Neroverdi have won the most away games in the top flight (five).
Should they fail to win, Inter would finish with four or fewer points from their first four Serie A games for the fourth time in the three-points-for-a-win era (since 1994/95) and the first since 2018/19, under Luciano Spalletti.
Inter are coming off consecutive defeats in Serie A (against Udinese and Juventus) and have not suffered three consecutive league defeats since April 2023; moreover, only once have the Nerazzurri lost three of their first four games in a top-flight campaign, in 1983/84 under Luigi Radice.
