Cagliari vs Inter prediction
THE FORECAST
Inter starts the season strongly with 4 goals in the opening match and has clearly superior quality, although Mkhitaryan is absent through suspension and there have been some defensive transfer changes. The heat (up to 32.5°C) can somewhat hamper Inter's intensive pressing, but Cagliari is missing several players through injuries and has a significantly renewed squad following a busy transfer period. Cagliari has 4 days until their Coppa Italia match, but Inter has 6 days of rest afterwards and has no direct rotation incentives for this away match, which is why a strong starting lineup is expected.
