As it stands, Inter sits comfortably at the top of the Serie A table, while Cagliari is struggling in 15th place, fighting to avoid relegation.

Match Analysis

Inter Milan's recent form has been impressive, securing two victories and a draw in their last three matches, including a notable away win against Atalanta. Their offensive capabilities are evident, as they average 2.2 goals per game over their last five matches, with an expected goals metric of 2.064. Defensively, Inter has maintained resilience, allowing only one goal per match on average and achieving one clean sheet in the same period. Cagliari, on the other hand, has had a mixed bag of results. They managed a goalless draw against Empoli and a solid home win against Monza, but they faltered against Roma.

Inter Milan's position at the top of the table and their consistent form give them a significant edge over Cagliari. Their ability to score and maintain defensive stability makes them the clear favorite. A key factor to watch will be whether Cagliari's defense can hold off Inter's potent attack, which could determine if the game remains a low-scoring affair.
