This weekend’s Serie A fixture list involves last season’s Champions League finalists and these Cagliari vs. Interpredictions look at the latest picture for Simone Inzaghi’s team. Despite missing out on two major titles, Inter did end the season as Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana winners.
Cagliari vs. Inter odds
1 – Inter to win – 10/21
2 – Inter under 2.5 total goals – 1/2
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 11/10
4 – Both teams not to score – 37/40
5 – Inter to win 1-0 – 13/2
Inter kicked off their 2023-24 Serie A season with a routine 2-0 win at home to Monza last weekend. Lautaro Martinez’s two goals sealed the victory in the second half as Inzaghi’s charges avoided any potential opening night nerves at the San Siro.
This weekend’s opponents, Cagliari, began their return to the top-flight with a solid 0-0 draw at Torino. Veteran boss Claudio Ranieri will be pleased to have registered a point on the board but they will be almost expecting to lose out to Inter on their home return to Serie A.
Inter have won their last four Serie A matches against Cagliari, prior to their one-season top-flight absence, plus three successive league wins away at the Sardegna Arena.
Based on the opening weekend’s results, this clash could be a tight battle, with Cagliari keeping Torino at bay, and Inter leaving it late to seal three points in Milan.
With that in mind, Ranieri will look to keep it tight once again, as his hosts aim for a shock against a powerful Inter team, and the visitors could be forced to rely on another late rally to ensure maximum points.
If Cagliari are unable to score, it will extend their fruitless streak in front of goal, but Ranieri will not be too concerned as he looks to plan for the long haul. Inter know they cannot afford to lose any early momentum in a title charge and three points on the road here are important for Inzaghi and his players.
Ranieri’s experience will be a huge asset to Cagliari in the coming months and a narrow loss in this game will not be a major issue for the home side.
