Cagliari take on the visitors Inter in the round 18 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, December 28th at Unipol Domus (Cagliari)
Cagliari is fighting for survival again. After falling to the second division, the Islanders reunited with Ranieri - he once achieved his first coaching successes in this club. And the veteran returned for a reason: firstly, he immediately returned his new-old charges to Serie A, secondly, he kept them there. True, they achieved promotion through the playoffs, and secondly, in the spring they overtook Frosinone by 1 point. In the summer, Davide Nicola became the new coach here. He is not hopeless, but also without any incredible successes. In the cup, everything ended in December with a crushing defeat to Juventus, and before that there were several defeats in the championship, which lowered the team to the relegation zone. In the last round, they even managed to lose in a confrontation with a direct competitor, Venezia.

"Inter" have long had financial problems - this is why Conte left at the time. But Simone Inzaghi has replaced him brilliantly, achieving serious success in cramped conditions. Last season stands out, when the team's forcedly renewed lineup confidently won the "scudetto". But in the new cycle, the "black and blues" started with a misfire in the opening round of Serie A, and soon lost, and in the derby with "Milan". However, they managed to improve later. And the only other defeat was with "Bayer", in the 6th round of the Champions League - but by that time they had already de facto secured passage to the playoffs. In the cup with "Udinese" they scored a confident 2-0. Meanwhile, in Serie A they managed to get close to the top. What are the December 6-0 with "Lazio", and in Rome, worth. With "Como" such a benefit was not repeated, but at the same time the newcomer was scored two unanswered goals.
After 5 victories in a row, the "Nerazzurri" limited themselves to a draw with the "islanders" in April, and at home - but then they were already champions and the mood was good-natured. The "Black and Blues" are obliged to win here, and, given the difference in the strength of the teams, clearly not with a minimal goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Inter to win with -1.0 handicap.
