Inter
A tale of two contrasting forms defines this matchup.
Inter has been dominant, suffering just one defeat in their last 17 matches, and that came in the Champions League against a strong Leverkusen side.
Domestically, they haven’t lost since the Milan derby, which ended 1-2. Among the top five teams in Serie A, only Inter and Juventus remain unbeaten in their last seven matches, with Inter recording five wins and two draws. They also boast the league’s best away goal difference, 21:5, and have kept clean sheets in their last four away games.
Cagliari, on the other hand, is struggling significantly. They’re on a poor run of four consecutive losses, and their home form offers little reassurance. Their only two home wins came against lower-ranked sides—Verona (1-0) and Torino (3-2). Across nine home matches, they’ve conceded 15 goals.
What we say
Inter to Win
Inter has maintained an impressive unbeaten streak against Cagliari on their turf, stretching back five years to a 2-1 loss in 2019.
Since then, they have dominated this matchup with seven wins and two draws.
Given their current form and consistent performances, Inter is the clear favorite to secure a victory in this match.
While some rotation of key players might be expected, Inter’s squad depth ensures they remain highly competitive even with a rotated lineup.
A win here would see Inter draw level on points with league leaders Atalanta, who face a challenging derby against Lazio later this evening.
Inter is well-positioned for a comfortable victory.
