Team analysis: Cagliari
Cagliari is currently in a difficult situation, both in the table and in form. Davide Nicola’s team stumbles in a number of games, especially against teams from the upper part of the table. After a relatively solid start to the season, their performance dropped significantly. In the last six matches in Serie A, they have recorded only one win, with two draws and three losses. The latest blow came in the form of a defeat against direct rivals for survival, the Venezia team, which further weakened their morale.
Cagliari’s defense is particularly problematic. The team often allows opponents too much space in dangerous areas, which results in a large number of goals conceded. For example, in the last three matches they conceded a total of six goals, four of which came in the first half. Contributing to this is the fact that their midfield is not successful in cutting off attacks and controlling the game, while the defense suffers from a lack of concentration and poor positioning.
In attack, the situation is equally problematic. Roberto Piccoli often remains isolated, while the creative part of the team, led by Nicola Viola, is not efficient enough in creating chances. Although Leonardo Pavoletti occasionally stands out by coming off the bench, his contributions are not enough to get the team out of the scoring crisis. In addition, the absence of Zito Luvumba further complicates the offensive game of Cagliari, as they lose one of the most dangerous players in transition.
Team analysis: Inter
Inter enters this match as absolute favourites. Simone Inzaghi’s team is showing impressive form, both in the domestic championship and on the European stage. The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last six games in Serie A, winning five and drawing only once. In that period, they scored as many as 15 goals, while conceding only two, which clearly shows their offensive dominance and defensive stability.
Inter’s attack is led by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thiram, who are currently among the most dangerous tandems in the league. Lautaro is particularly inspired when he plays against Cagliari – he has scored nine goals in nine matches against them, including key away goals. Tiram, on the other hand, proved to be an ideal partner in attack, with his quick breakthroughs and ability to create chances.
In midfield, Inter have outstanding depth and quality. Niccolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu control the rhythm of the game and often provide key passes forward. Additional contributions come from full-backs such as Denzel Dumfries and Federico DiMarco, who constantly threaten down the flanks and get into the end zone.
Defensively, Inter are also at a high level, even without the injured Benjamin Pavard and Francesc Acerbi. Stefan de Frey and Alessandro Bastoni form a solid wall in front of goalkeeper Jan Zomer, who has shown security in goal on several occasions.
Betting suggestion: Inter to score in the first half
Inter’s offensive game and Cagliari’s defensive problems make this option very likely. The Nerazzurri are known for getting into games quickly, while Cagliari have regularly conceded goals in the first 45 minutes in recent matches. Statistically, Inter have scored in the first half in four of their last five matches, while Cagliari have conceded a goal before the break in three of their five games in the same period.
