Inter is welcoming Cagliari to Giuseppe Meazza in round 17 of the Italian Serie A. Inter is on fire, they are scoring a lot of goals, and apart from that loss to Real Madrid, their form has been perfect. Cagliari is struggling, they haven’t won any of their last 8 games, but they haven’t lost any of their last 4.
Despite that loss to Real Madrid earlier this week, Inter has qualified for the next stage in the Champions League, and now they can focus on Serie A. with 37 points, Inter is in 2nd place, but with a win here, they will jump over Milan to the top. Inter is also the best offensive team in the league with 39 scored goals, and their defense has also been quite solid with 15 conceded goals. Martinez and Dzeko both have scored 8 goals so far this season, while Barella added 5 assists for Inter this season. another good news for Inter is their injury list is almost gone, and that will certainly help them in the next few games before the Christmas break. Inter has won the title last season, and they are definitely good enough to defend it this season.
Cagliari is not a good team, they are not even an average team, and I think they will spend most of the season in the relegation zone. Cagliari has won only 1 game so far this season, they have scored only 17 goals, while their defense just can’t keep up. Cagliari has conceded 30 goals, and they are in 19th place right now. There have been some positive movements for Cagliari, and they are now on a 4-game draw streak which is good is suppose when the only thing you do is loose. Joao Pedro is still the leading goalscorer for Cagliari with 9 goals. Cagliari is not a bad team, they have some big-name players on their roster, but nothing is working out for them this season, and I’m not sure they will. There is still time for Cagliari to turn this season around, but they need to change pretty much everything about their team, and even that might not be enough.
Inter is still undefeated at home so far this season, and they are playing great on both ends. Of course, Inter is the favorite here, a big one, and I think they will get the win but it’s always hard to find the value with big favorites.
