Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Inter - Cagliari!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Cagliari have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
