Team News & Probable Lineups
Cagliari will look to build on an encouraging start to the season, relying on a well-drilled defensive block to frustrate Inter’s attacking talent. The Nerazzurri, meanwhile, will be eager to shake off any early-season inconsistency and reassert themselves as genuine title contenders. Recent history between these two sides has heavily favoured Inter, who thrashed Cagliari 3-0 the last time they met at San Siro, with goals from Marcus Thuram, Nicolò Barella, and Piotr Zieliński sealing a comfortable win.

Prediction
Despite Inter’s mid-table position early in the campaign, their squad depth and quality make them favourites here. Expect Simone Inzaghi’s — or now Cristian Chivu’s — men to control possession and create the better chances throughout, with a 2-0 or 2-1 away win the most probable outcome. Cagliari’s best route to a result lies in staying compact and hoping to nick something on the counter or from a set piece.
