Last season’s Serie A runner-up Inter Milan will take a trip to Unipol Domus to face Cagliari on Saturday. The home team has had a difficult start to the season, but has recovered by winning their last three games. Their recent victory came in the Coppa Italia, following a comfortable 4-1 win against Frosinone.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, started the season with a win but lost back-to-back games in the Serie A. However, they have gone on to win two games in a row, with a recent 2-1 victory over Saussolo.

Cagliari vs Inter prediction: Inter expected to win
Key statistics
- Inter have led at halftime in four of their last five meetings.
- The Islanders have lost by a 3-1 scoreline against the Nerazzurri on two occasions.
- Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of their last five clashes.
Correct score prediction: Cagliari 1-3 Inter
The Nerazzurri have not had a decent start as they would like, but they should be able to grab another win this weekend, which is why we are predicting a 3-1 victory for the visitors. The Islanders have been in good form, but they have struggled against the away team in recent meetings. We believe Inter's quality gives them the advantage over the host and they should be able to secure a narrow victory.

Most recent head-to-head: Inter with a dominant record
The head-to-head record between these two teams shows Cristian Chivu’s side has dominated this encounter. In their last five meetings, Inter has won five times. The most recent league match between the two sides was a 2-0 victory for Inter in April 2025. This dominance will give Inter an edge despite their form, but Fabio Pisacane’s side's current form would prove vital and could make it a difficult game for them.

Player to watch: Marcus Thuram
One standout player to watch out for is Marcus Thuram. The French striker has been in top form recently, scoring five goals and one assist across all competitions.
He consistently causes problems for defenders and has been important to Inter’s impressive start to the season. Thuram is expected to be a major threat to the Cagliari defence.
