Inter Milan welcome Cagliari to San Siro for a Serie A fixture on Sunday as they continue their march towards the Scudetto. The Nerazzurri have continued to look almost unstoppable and should have too much quality for Cagliari, who often struggle on their travels.
Inter Milan are edging closer to reclaiming the Scudetto with their inevitable triumph now only a matter of time. They are 14 points clear at the top of the standings and have not tasted defeat in Serie A since September.
The Nerazzurri notched another win last time out as they triumphed 2-1 at Udinese. They fought back from a goal down with second half efforts from Hakan Calhanoglou and Davide Frattesi.
While Inter Milan have gotten good results at almost every ground this season, the San Siro is where they often do their best work. Simone Inzaghi’s men have won 10 of their last 11 matches, keeping eight clean sheets in that run.
Cagliari may be 13th on the Serie A standings but they are not out of the woods yet, sitting four points above the relegation zone. The good news is that they have shown some good form in recent weeks with three wins and a draw from their last five matches.
One of the wins for Cagliari came in their previous Serie A fixture as they claimed a 2-1 victory over Atalanta. They fought back from a goal down with efforts from Tommaso Augello and Nicolas Viola earning them the win.
One problem that still persists for Cagliari is their poor record on their travels having picked up just one away win in Serie A all season. Claudio Ranieri’s men head into Sunday’s clash with seven defeats in their last 10 matches on the road.
