Cagliari vs Inter Prediction & Betting Tips (28 December)

The next few months will be decisive for this Cagliari team which will have to mobilize all its available forces to try to secure its continuation and avoid further relegation to Serie B, only 2 years after moving up. For this, the Sardinians will still have to step on the accelerator, they who remain on 4 defeats in a row in all competitions. They were in fact dominated by Fiorentina 1-0, Atalanta 0-1 and Venice 2-1 last weekend. In the meantime, the Rossoblu saw themselves inflicted a big correction by Juventus 4-0 in the Italian Cup.

Reigning Italian champion, Inter got off to a pretty good start in the defense of their Scudetto but they did not not really any room for error since they are 6 points behind the leader, Atalanta, who have played 2 more games. Undefeated in Serie A for more than 3 months, Marcus Thuram's teammates showed themselves mercilessly against Hellas Verona 0-5, Parma 3-1 and Lazio 0-6 and they will want to continue this great dynamic on Monday evening by receiving the Como FC.

Cagliari is lucky to have an almost complete group to prepare this poster. Indeed, the important striker Luvumbo (1 goal and 1 assist in SA) should be the only member of this team to have to give up taking part in this clash. Roberto Piccoli is currently the top scorer of the club in the championship with 4 goals and he should be started. That said, last week, it was veteran Pavoletti who scored his team's only goal.

There are a few more defections to report on the Inter side since the starting defenders Pavard and Acerbi as well as replacement goalkeeper Di Gennaro will still have to stay on the sidelines. THE Italian international midfielder Barella could also be missing, as could defenders Darmian and de Vrij who were all doubtful for the reception of Como. Despite all these uncertainties, Inter's squad remains much more solid than that of the Sardinians, notably with French international Marcus Thuram (11 goals and 3 assists in SA) and captain Lautaro Martinez (5 goals and 2 assists in SA) who are the two main leaders of the best attack in this Serie A.
