Prediction: Cagliari vs Inter Milan

Two camps who will be looking to make it consecutive Serie A victories on Sunday night, reigning Italian champions Inter Milan will travel to Cagliari.

With another stacked schedule from across Europe’s elite this weekend, there are plenty of eye-catching betting promotions available.

Cagliari

Starting with the hosts, signing off the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of a real late flurry, Cagliari appear to have continued on from where they left off prior to the summer interval. Getting proceedings underway with an impressive 1-0 victory away at Parma last weekend, Fabio Pisacane’s men should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Drawing a line under last season with a famous 2-1 win against Italian giants AC Milan on May 24th, the Islanders could be dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine top-half charge this year. In fact, including an action-packed 3-2 victory against former Europa League champions Atalanta back in April, Cagliari have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous seven domestic appearances across all competitions. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the month thanks to a 1-0 win against Serie B outfit Azerro, Pisacane’s camp have also recorded back-to-back clean sheets for the first time so far this calendar year.

Not featuring across any competition since the start of March, academy graduate Riyad Idrissi remains on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury. Likewise, one-time Inter Milan youngster Sebastiano Esposito is still recovering from a muscle issue.

Bagging a late winner away at Parma last weekend and opening his Serie A account, Roma loanee Alessandro Romano will start in the middle of the park on Sunday night.

Inter Milan

As for the visitors, cruising their way to a record-breaking 21st Serie A crown last season, Inter Milan have rightfully received a fearsome reputation from across the continent. Laying down an immediate marker last weekend as they opened up the 2026/27 campaign with a dominant 4-1 victory at home against Monza, Cristian Chivu will be dreaming of a repeat performance on Sunday night. Only further cementing their spot as Italy’s ultimate poster boys, the Nerazzurri have suffered just a sole domestic defeat across any competition so far this calendar year. Landing a routine 3-0 win when they last met Cagliari for a Serie A showdown back on April 17th, Inter Milan hold a dominant record against Sunday’s opponents. In fact, Chivu’s side have won each of their previous four matchups by an aggregate score of 11-1. It should also be highlighted, the reigning Italian champions registered a staggering 42 points from their 19 Serie A showdowns away from the San Siro last season.

All completing their own respective permanent switches to the San Siro this summer, the English trio of Djed Spence, Curtis Jones and ex-Manchester City star John Stones could feature on Sunday night.

Claiming Italy’s Golden Boot after notching 17 Serie A strikes last season, Argentinian international Lautaro Martinez will spearhead Inter Milan’s charge. Likewise, opening his account against Monza last weekend, 21-year-old Francesco Pio Esposito should keep his spot alongside Martinez in attack.
