INTER MILAN v CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match between a home side that are second in the table and opponents in the bottom half of the current standings. Only Juventus have won more points than Inter and the latter won the recent match between the sides. However that advantage was then nulled by a loss away to Atalanta. Milan had closed the gap to one point and it was a major upset that they were beaten by Atalanta. Cagliari started the season poorly but a decent recent run of results has seen them rise to 11th place. However, Inter Milan are nine places and 12 points ahead them in the current table. Matches involving these sides have produced 65 goals at an average of over 2.5 per game. However, Inter Milan's five home matches have seen 16 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Inter Milan went behind away to Juventus in the biggest match of the season to date and then scored three goals in the second half to win the game. They then had 61% of the possession against Atalanta but lost that game, a result that totally defied the relative form of each side. Inter Milan should get their season back on track against Cagliari and a dominant share of the ball should see them create plenty of scoring opportunities. Antinio Cassano is expected to take one of those chances and add to his tally of five league goals this season. Cagliari’s decent run of form came to an end at Fiorentina, a match they lost by three clear goals after seeing just 44% of the ball. That was followed by a goalless draw at home against Catania, failing to score despite having 56% of the ball.

INTER MILAN - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Before losing to Atalanta last week Inter Milan were the form team in Italy and a run of five straight league wins culminated in the win away to Juventus. However their home form is not outstanding and they have already been beaten twice at their own stadium this season. Inter have actually won twice as many points away from home than at their own ground. Even so Cagliari are not strong enough to win this match and avoiding defeat may be beyond them. They have won just two of six matches on the road this season and their defeats have been to teams inferior to Inter. The home side will be determined to compensate for losing last week and should win this game by at least one goal.

Take the 1.57 with BetVictor for Inter Milan.

INTER MILAN - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

Cagliari have scored just four times in six away matches this season and Inter have conceded more than one goal per game at home. However, the relative statistics suggest Inter’s margin of victory can be more than one goal as Cagliari are unlikely to score. Inter can create enough chances to score at least once and can cover a handicap of one goal.

INTER MILAN - CAGLIARI PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Inter’s home form has not seen them be prolific scorers and they are unlikely to score more than twice in this match at the weekend. Cagliari have failed to score against inferior sides to Inter and they are unlikely to improve their modest scoring record away from home in this match. Both teams not to score is an interesting bet but in any case the final tally of goals should be less than three.
