- Cagliari are unbeaten in 5 games and have won their last 2.
- Cagliari and Inter have both picked up 3 points from their opening game in Serie A 2026-2027, with the Rossoblù sitting 6th and the Nerazzurri 1st.
- Inter have won 4 and drawn 1 of their last 5 games, including a 4-1 victory against SSD Monza 1912 in Serie A 2026-2027.
Cagliari are in form but Inter are flying
Inter are the clear favourites to win Sunday's Serie A 2026-2027 clash at 1.47, while Cagliari are 7.0 and the draw 4.1. The head-to-head record, Inter's superior form and the odds all point to a Nerazzurri win, although the Rossoblù's unbeaten streak should make this a competitive fixture.
The hosts, Fabio Pisacane's men, have won three and drawn two of their last five games across all competitions and are riding a two-match winning streak ahead of this game. They beat Arezzo 1-0 away from home before claiming a 1-0 home win over AC Parma last time out.
A team-first, structure-first set-up is how Pisacane has set his men up for the campaign, with a back four providing a platform and the midfield screens providing a central and numerical dominance in those games. Alessandro Romano is the team's Serie A top scorer with 1 goal in 1 game, while Michel Ndary Adopo has 1 assist in 1 game so far.
Nerazzurri are a team of the moment
Inter head to Sardinia on the back of a 4-1 Serie A 2026-2027 win over SSD Monza 1912 and a 1-0 friendly win over Real Betis. Cristian Chivu's team have played a proactive 3-5-2 style of football in these games, with wing-backs, trigger pressing and vertical runs into the half-spaces.
Francesco Pio Esposito is the Serie A 2026-2027's leading scorer for Inter with 1 goal in 1 match, with Andy Diouf contributing 2 assists in 1 match so far. Federico Dimarco has scored two of Inter's last six goals, in their last 5 competitive matches.
Nerazzurri to take the points against Rossoblù
While Inter are the superior team and have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-heads, Cagliari are in good form and have picked up 2 wins and a draw from their most recent 3 home matches. So the best play on this game could be Under 2.5 goals at 1.8, which allows for a solid performance from the home side who should be capable of keeping it tight, but Inter are the likelier of the two sides to pinch it.
The two clubs' contrasting styles should make for an intriguing battle of wing-backs versus back four, with Inter looking to stretch the game and Cagliari trying to jam up the lanes and slow the tempo.
