A strong away win for Inter against Cagliari the last match, as Darmian and Martínez (2) were on target. Inter's victory against Cagliari could easily have been with a bigger margin than 3-1 as they hit the posts three times. The forward Martínez was declared "man of the match" for Inter with a rating of 9.15/10. Martínez scored two goals, hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Inter are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with a victory. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. In their match history 6 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Inter has won 6 times, drawn 0 and lost 0. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Inter has won by at least two goals 5 times when in this position.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (45 in 18 games), Inter's attacking play is working. Inter are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 16 from 18 matches.

Sabiri scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times.
