A rejuvenated Internazionale Milano side will look to keep up the unbeated record when they host the last placed Cagliari at Giuseppe Meazza.
Mazzari finally seems to have built a good squad at Inter, many young players with some top experienced guys as well. The hosts have yet to lose a match this season and are sitting on the 4th place in the standings with 2 wins and 2 draws, but could move up to 3rd if they beat Cagliari. Last week Internazionale defeated Atalanta 2-0 but truth to be told they were not that impressive, conceding possession to Atalanta and allowing a lot of goal scoring opportunities.
Cagliari`s form to start the season was horrific and there are reasons to believe it will set the tone for the whole campaign – the visitors lost some players in the Summer and look like one of the top relegation candidates right now. With just 1 point in 4 rounds, Cagliari is on the last place in the standings and has lost 3 games in a row, including a 1-2 defeat at home to Torino last round.

Team news & lineups
Inter has a clean bill of health for this game, while Cagliari will not be able to count on Eriksson.
Inter: Handanovic – Rannochia, Vidic, Jesus – Jonathan, Kovacic, Medel, Hernanes, Dodo – Palacio, Icardi
Cagliari: Cragno – Balzano, Ceppitelli, Rossettini, Avelar – Crisetig, Conti, Ekdal – Ibarbo, Sau Cossu
Listen, Inter is in good form right now but I am not placing a bet on them simply hallucinating that they are wold beaters – they are not, and still have a long way to go to be consistent. However, Cagliari has been atrocious this season and with no signs of that changing, I can`t see them challenging a better and more confident side like Inter, especially on the road. The hosts should pile up the pressure early on, their offense was effective so far so they should do well to score 2 or 3 goals, covering a 1 goal handicap in the process. This might be a public bet, but my tip is Inter to win with a -1,25 asian handicap and I`m satisfied by the odds. Prediction: Inter – Cagliari 2-0.

Can you belive this sh*t!? Never bet on teams like Inter and specially Milan,this time I did and oh my what a mistake!
You are so right, the same goes for me. Can`t even remember the last time I bet on Inter, but this time I trusted them – a mistake. I also lost on Empoli – Milan but that was a better pick because the odds were higher and Empoli had less experience than Cagliari.
