Serie A, Saturday, 28.12.2024 at 18:00
Do you know the good old Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill movies that were shown on TV, especially at Christmas time? Atalanta and Inter have been thrashing the rest of Serie A in a similar fashion for weeks now.
Now the Nerazzurri have to draw level with the Bergamasques and also pick up three important points. According to my Cagliari Inter Milan betting tip, they should be able to do so tonight without any major problems!
The situation for the “Rossoblù” could hardly be bleaker at the moment. Cagliari have maneuvered themselves deep into the Serie A relegation zone and are currently fighting against a free fall.
Four defeats in a row – the worst run since February. During this period, the now home side have scored just one goal, a clear sign that their offense is falling far short of expectations.
For the fans, the Christmas period will be a guessing game: Will their kickers finally flip the switch and collect points to stave off the threat of relegation? As we all know, there is no winter break in Italy. So there is no time to regroup!
The criticism of coach Davide Nicola is getting louder and louder. After the bitter 2:1 defeat against direct rivals Venezia, he emphasized the progress in terms of performance, but the results are still lacking.
At home, in the Unipol Domus, Cagliari have managed to pick up 9 of their 14 points so far. Two wins, three draws and four defeats show that there is at least some hope at home.
But will that be enough against an opponent like Inter Milan? The chances are slim – and of course Nicola knows that too
On the other hand, Inter come to Sardinia with a broad chest. The “Nerazzurri” are currently playing at a completely different level. Three wins in a row, ten goals scored and none conceded – Simone Inzaghi’s team is in top form.
Recent successes have included highlights such as a commanding 2-0 win over Como and the historic 6-0 away victory at Lazio.
This triumph ranks as the second-highest away win in the club’s history and shows that Inter are well on their way to winning the title once again.
Do you think anyone can stop this team at the moment? I remain of the opinion that if anyone can do so, it will be my beloved Bergamasco
A look at the statistics clearly favors the visitors. After all, the “Nerazzurri” have won 11 of their last 14 head-to-head meetings with Cagliari and arrive with an almost flawless away record.
There has also only been one Serie A defeat away from home since May 2023 – otherwise, they have 21 wins and five draws. So it’s no wonder that Inter fans are already dreaming of the next Scudetto in their trophy cabinet.
It will therefore be a Herculean task for Cagliari to successfully halt Milan’s run. But who knows? Soccer has often shown us that miracles are possible, especially when the hosts have their backs to the wall.
You want to hear a sensible Cagliari Inter Milan tip at this point? Then check out this data! Internazionale are the only team in Serie A who have never trailed at half-time this season.
On the other hand, the Sardinians are the negative leaders in this category – they have trailed at the break in nine games, more than any other team in the league.
This clear pattern serves as a kind of template for my Cagliari Inter Milan prediction.
My recommendation is quite clear: Half-time/final score 2/2 at odds of around 2.15 on any decent betting app
By the way: In each of the last five head-to-head duels, it was always Inter that scored the 1-0.
On the Betano app, you can select “First goal: Inter” at current odds of 1.42. You can also bet on this assumption individually, but I would highly recommend adding it to my Cagliari Inter Milan prediction as an additional condition.
In case of success, your sports betting payout would then already scratch the area of a possible tripling …
Conclusion: Inter Milan is simply incredibly strong. Together with Bergamo, the Nerazzurri are one of the two teams that the rest of Serie A would do well to avoid.
After all, when the Milanese recently demolished Lazio 6-0 at the legendary Olimpico, I simply cannot imagine how the Sardinians will manage to avoid a thrashing here.
For me, it’s only a matter of time before the “Rossoblu” are blown away at the back!
