Sassuolo take on the visitors Internazionale at the Mapei Stadium - Citta de Tricolore in the 1st tour of the Serie A. The match will be played in Reggio Emilia on Sunday, August 19th.
The glorious era of Sassuolo playing under the management of Eusebio di Francesco is in the past. Last season was not so successful for I Neroverdi, they finished in the lower part of the table. The team changed several managers throughout last season. Now the head coach of Sassuolo is Roberto de Zerbi. He is a young specialist who is known for having a great attacking playing style in Foggia which was one of his latest workplaces. Last season he worked in Benevento who were an obvious outsider in the league. Roberto was not able to save that team in the Serie A but had some thrilling matches. He also worked in Palermo once but was fired after only seven games as the team`s manager. Hiring him would be a big risk for the management of Sassuolo. The team has also lost some of their key players this summer, Politano and Acerbi for example. It is likely that I Neroverdi will battle for surviving in the Serie A this season.

Internazionale will probably compete for the gold in the Serie A this season. Last season they were able to go through to the play-offs of the UEFA Champions League qualification. I Nerrazzurri have enhanced their squad greatly this summer and they will have all the tools to play successfully both in the Serie A and in the Champions League. Nainggolan, Martinez, de Vrij, Asamoah, Vrsaljko, Politano, Mulatteri, all these players are new to the team. Talking about the losses for Internazionale such players as Santon, Dodo, Nagatomo, Eder, Bardi and Kondogbia have left La Beneamata this summer.
The manager of Internazionale Lucaino Spalletti has a great experience of building top clubs. Now he has an amazing squad to compete for the highest places. It`s worth noting that the team had a great start to last season in the Serie A and was unbeaten until December 16th, 2017. In the eight starting tours of the last season Internazionale won seven times and drew once. In the four starting tours of the last season I Nerrazzuri won four times with an overall 10-1 goal difference. Furthermore, the team was showing stable performances against the outsiders last season, won eleven times, drew three and lost none. It is likely that Internazionale will punish weak Sassuolo in the first tour of the Serie A.
Prediction for the match: Internazionale to win.
