Inter Milan vs Cagliari prediction: Dominant display expected by the hosts

Key Stats

• Inter manager Simone Inzaghi has not lost any of his five meetings against Cagliari (W4 D1).
• The Nerazzurri have scored in 25 straight home games against Cagliari – their longest ongoing streak against a single opponent.
• Cagliari have kept two clean sheets in a row in Serie A, but they haven’t managed three in succession for 13 years.
• Inter have scored in 37 consecutive home games in Serie A – only Lille have a longer current streak (39) in the top-five European leagues.

Correct score prediction: Inter Milan 4-1 Cagliari

Cagliari stand little chance against an Inter team with their sights set on the treble, even if Inzaghi will rest a few players ahead of the return leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Inter are huge favourites

• HOME: 1/3 (1.33) – 75.0%
• DRAW: 17/4 (5.25) – 19.0%
• AWAY: 8/1 (9.00) – 11.1%

Inter Milan preview: Hosts chasing the treble

Inzaghi’s men gave their treble hopes a huge boost in midweek, beating Bayern 2-1 away from home in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. They remain three points clear at the Serie A summit despite dropping points at Parma last week.

Denzel Dumfries, Mehdi Taremi and Piotr Zielinski are currently out injured for the hosts, and rotation is expected ahead of their return leg against Bayern, but Nicolo Barella could return after being suspended last weekend.

Predicted lineup: Sommer (GK), Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Darmian, Calhanoglu, Barella, Asllani, Dimarco, Thuram & Martinez

Cagliari preview: Rossoblu at full strength

Cagliari have only two of their 15 away games all season, leaving them in 15th, but the gap to the bottom three is a relatively healthy six points.

Davide Nicola’s side may be looking more to games against Verona, Udinese, Como and Venezia instead to pick up some vital points in the final strait.

The visitors have a fully fit squad, so Nicola could go with the same XI that got a point at Empoli last weekend.

Predicted lineup: Caprile (GK), Palomino, Mina, Luperto, Zortea, Adopo, Prati, Augello, Viola, Piccoli & Luvumbo

Player to watch: Hakan Calhanoglu

Calhanoglu has never lost in 12 previous career appearances against Cagliari, winning nine, and he was on the scoresheet in the 3-0 win in the reverse fixture in December.

That took the Turkish midfielder's tally to three goals and an assist in his last five head-to-heads with Cagliari, and with him set to be on set pieces, he could easily add to that here.
