Situated at opposite ends of the Serie A table, Cagliari and Inter will face off in a crucial match that will either extend Inter’s impressive form or deepen Cagliari’s struggles. One thing is certain: neither team can afford to settle for a draw, as all three points will be essential for both sides’ aspirations. The victory will be the coveted prize in this encounter.
Cagliari Team News
Cagliari’s dreadful form has seen them slip into the relegation zone, where they are now fighting for survival. Things won’t get any easier against Inter, as they enter the match on the back of four consecutive losses, including three in Serie A and one in the Coppa Italia. The issues for The Islanders are clear: a porous defence and a struggling attack that has managed just one goal in their last four matches. While their home form offers a slight improvement, it is still far from reassuring – Cagliari has recorded two losses, one draw, and one win in their last four Serie A home games, with the team failing to score in two of those matches.
Inter Team News
Success for Cagliari in this matchup seems highly unlikely when we consider Inter’s exceptional form. Simone Inzaghi’s side has suffered just one loss this season, to Milan, and is deeply involved in the Scudetto race. The Nerazzurri possess the joint most potent attack in the league, alongside the fourth-best defensive record. Looking at recent performances, Inter has won their last Serie A matches, keeping a clean sheet in three of their last four games. Additionally, Inter fans can be optimistic about their team’s strong away form, having lost just once on the road since May 2023.
Head-to-Head-Games
It is no surprise to state that Inter have an advantage in the H2H with Cagliari as the Nerazzurri have won 4 of their last 5 games with them. Cagliari’s last win over Inter game in 2019 at home, but since then the team has not been fortunate in this H2H. Inter have also kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 wins over The Islanders.

Cagliari – Inter Betting Prediction
I fully expect Inter to win this game, considering their recent form and strong head-to-head record against Cagliari. With that in mind, goals are likely to feature, which is why I’m predicting an Inter victory with fewer than 4.5 goals. Although Inter’s last two away wins were commanding – 5-0 against Verona and 6-0 against Lazio – I don’t anticipate such a high scoreline here. This is especially true when we consider that Simone Inzaghi’s side secured a narrow 2-0 win over Como at home last time out, with the second goal only coming in stoppage time.
