Inter Milan v Cagliari Betting Tips [13 December 2021]

Inter Milan are doing well in their title defence and will be eyeing top spot when they host Cagliari in round 17 of Serie A. The two sides are headed in opposite directions in the Serie A standings; Inter second on 37 points and Cagliari 18th on 10 points. From the points garnered so far, there’s a clear gulf between the two sides in terms of form and Inter will be hoping for three points here which could see them finish the week on top. They have four straight wins in the league, having scored two or more goals in the process.

In their last league match, Inter whacked Roma 3-0 for their third straight clean sheet in the league. They go to this game with three straight wins in the league at home and are unbeaten in their last 24 home matches in Serie A. Against Cagliari, Inter have four wins and a draw in the last five meetings.

Cagliari are struggling; going to this game they have no win in the last eight matches. They have four losses and four draws in those eight matches, while in their last 10 games, they have just one win. They will be the outright underdogs here, having lost four of their last five meetings with Inter; the only time they avoided defeat it ended in a draw. The visitors do not carry an attacking threat to this game; in their last five matches, they have just two goals, and those came in one game – a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. They’ve failed to score in four of five away league games and have conceded two or more in four. Cagliari are just two points above the bottom placed side, which means they could drop to the foot of the table with a loss here.

Inter are clear favorites; they are the side with the least losses in the league and have a dominant past against Cagliari. Inter have no loss in 24 home league games and are eyeing top spot with three points here; that should be enough to push them against struggling Cagliari. Go for Inter to lead in both halves.
