Prediction
Lautaro Martínez is the competition’s top scorer with 16 goals fotmob but misses out here through injury. However, Inter’s depth is world-class — Thuram, Arnautovic, and Barella can still dismantle almost any defence. Elia Caprile ranks 3rd in saves per match (3.3) fotmob in Serie A, so Cagliari’s goalkeeper will be busy, but the dam is likely to break.
Our Pick: Inter Milan 3–0 Cagliari ✅
