- Cagliari are undefeated in five (W3, D2) and have won their last two (W2, D0).
- Internazionale Milano are also on a roll, winning four of their last five matches (W4, D1).
- However, Inter have won four of the last five H2H encounters (W4, D1).
Nerazzurri have clear edge in early Serie A table
1st-placed Inter can take advantage of 6th-placed Cagliari on Sunday afternoon when the two sides come head-to-head at the Unipol Domus in Italy.
The Rossoblù have made a fine start to the new Serie A 2026-2027 campaign, but the Nerazzurri have accumulated the same three points from one match (W1).
Fabio Pisacane has set up his Cagliari side to be flexible, and structure-first, as the back four holds and the midfield lines up in order to win the central battle. The hosts have gone two wins and a draw in their three most recent home matches, so don't expect a walkover.
Inter to edge cagey affair
The Nerazzurri have won two and drawn one of their three recent away matches, so they travel to Sardinia like a team built for the points, which is what they should get on Sunday. Cristian Chivu has his side playing a 3-5-2 system of sorts with wing-backs, trigger pressing and vertical movements in the half-spaces.
It will be fascinating to see how Inter's wing-backs fare against Cagliari's back four in what will be a battle of the formations. Inter can stretch the play, while the hosts will try to block the channels and play a cagey match.
Inter have the stronger form, the better recent H2H record and shorter odds than Cagliari in the match betting (47/100 versus 6/1), so we will take the visitors to nick it at a shade of odds on. We have been tempted by the Under 2.5 goals bet at 4/5, however, as this will be a tough game for Inter and Cagliari have an undefeated streak going on.
Alessandro Romano is Cagliari's Serie A top scorer with one goal in one match, but midfielder Michel Ndary Adopo has already contributed one assist in one match and looks lively between the lines.
Francesco Pio Esposito leads the way for Inter with one Serie A goal in one appearance, Andy Diouf has already supplied two assists in one match and Federico Dimarco has scored two of the club's last six in Serie A across the last five games.
