Sassuolo, the only team in Serie A to defeat Inter Milan this season, will face the league leaders again on Saturday night as they continue their battle for survival.
While the unstoppable Inter recently won the Scudetto, their hosts are in serious jeopardy at the opposite end of the standings and could lose their 10-year run in the top division.
Inter maintained their title celebrations last week with a victory against 10-man Torino, following their crowning as the Italian champions with five games remaining. This victory kept Inter on track to finish the season with more than 100 points.
They will now attempt to reach the 90-point mark for just the third time in club history after scoring 89 points thus far.
Calhanoglu joins Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez, two of Inter's most productive forward duo, in scoring double digits for the season. The three players have helped Inter go 29 games without a loss in the top division; their last league setback came against Sassuolo at home in September.
Because of their complete dominance, the Nerazzurri have the ability to shut out their opponents on Saturday and create a new club record for the most clean sheets in a single season. They also seem to score goals at will.
The sole Serie A loss for Inter this season came from a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo; at the time, the Emilian team appeared headed for another mid-table season until Domenico Berardi's game-winning goal startled San Siro.
The Neroverdi, however, are firmly entrenched in the bottom three after being thrashed 5-1 by Fiorentina last week, shortly after falling 3-0 to Lecce, their relegation rivals. Additionally, top player Berardi has been out of commission for some time due to injury.
With four games remaining, Davide Ballardini's team is five points outside of safety in the rankings and has only won one of their last 15 league games.
In that period, Sassuolo has only preserved one clean sheet, and ten years after their Serie A debut, Reggio Emilia faces the real threat of relegation

Their current total of 20 is also the best among the top five leagues in Europe this season. One more would push them above a record originally established 35 years ago.
After 23 games, Inter Milan has won 11 of them while Sassuolo has won 10. This gives Inter Milan a tiny advantage over Sassuolo.In Serie A, Sassuolo has defeated Inter Milan nine times out of twenty-one times; this is a tie for the most victories Sassuolo has ever had against a single opponent.This season, Inter Milan has only lost one Serie A game, and that loss came in the rematch against Sassuolo in September of last year by a score of 2-1.In the ten Serie A meetings between Inter Milan and Sassuolo at the Stadio Citta del Tricolore, Inter Milan has won six of them. There have been no draws.
The hosts, who have had a poor season thus far, face the real danger of being relegated. Sassuolo's need for points intensifies when they play Inter Milan, a squad that is confident after winning the title recently. Sassuolo's crushing 5-1 loss to Fiorentina made it tough for them to compete in Serie A the following year.
Naturally, Inter Milan has had an incredible season. They defeated AC Milan 2-1 to win their historic 20th league title. During their home match against Torino, the Nerazzurri were presented with a guard of honor and went on to win 2-0. There is still a mathematical potential for Inter Milan to finish this season with more than 100 points in Serie A.
