Inter are pursuing the top league places while Cagliari are more involved in escaping relegation. May the best team win!
- Inter have the most scored goals (39) in Serie A
- Cagliari have the fewest points (3) away in Serie A
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Cagliari have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
