Inter Milan Team Analysis
The Nerazzurri had a memorable week, beginning with a crucial first-leg victory over Bayern on Tuesday. Napoli’s failure to capitalize on Inter’s recent setback against Parma will have further lifted their mood.
The focus now shifts to Cagliari, a side that hasn’t beaten Inter since 2019. This game appears to be a favorable fixture for Inter, particularly with a home advantage. Inzaghi’s side will look to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s slip. They gave up an early two-goal lead in that game, resulting in a draw.
Line Up Prediction
Due to injuries, Denzel Dumfries, Piotr Zielinski, and Mehdi Taremi will miss this game.
Possible starting lineup: Sommer; Vrij, Bisseck, Bastoni; Augusto, Darmain, Fratessi, Çalhanoğlu, Mkhitaryan; Arnautovic, Thuram.

In their last five league outings, Cagliari have managed just one win, alongside two draws and two losses. Their most recent victory was a 3–0 result against Monza, followed by a goalless draw with Empoli in their latest league fixture. A win over Inter could provide the lift they need to build momentum and strengthen their chances of survival in Serie A.

Inter vs Cagliari Betting Tips & Predictions
Here are our top Inter vs Cagliari betting predictions for this match:
- Total Goals: Over 2.5 @ 1.70 (2/3) – Inter have an opportunity to preserve their lead at the top of the table, and they’ll be expected to make the most of it. The Nerazzurri scored at least twice in their last five meetings with Cagliari. That pattern will likely continue, considering Cagliari’s struggles at the back this season. The Rossoblù have conceded 44 goals in the league and currently hold a goal difference of -13.
- Both Teams To Score: Yes @ 2.08 (13/12) – The main reason this betting option is under consideration is Inter’s recent difficulty in keeping clean sheets. Over their last eight matches, they’ve managed just two shutouts, indicating that their defense can be broken down. Meanwhile, Cagliari scored 31 goals in the league, averaging one per match.
- Inter Milan Total Goals: Over 1.5 @ 1.47 (1/2) – Given their record of scoring at least twice in their last five encounters with Cagliari, this betting angle holds strong logic. Inter has also found the net at least twice in their past four league matches, suggesting this trend will likely continue on Saturday.
