Cagliari vs Inter Milan: betting odds 28 Dec 2024
Cagliari — Inter Milan betting tips 28 Dec 2024
Since the November international break, Inter Milan have left few chances for opponents in domestic competitions as they steadily climb towards the top of the table. The Milan club have secured five consecutive victories in both the league and Coppa Italia, each by a margin of two goals or more. Their encounter with Cagliari shouldn't interrupt this streak, given the underdog's poor form.
Since the beginning of December, Cagliari's struggles have thrust them back into the relegation zone, with no points gained in their last three matches. Last week's painful elimination from the Coppa Italia against Juventus (1:2) was followed by a defeat to Venezia (1:2), in which Cagliari recorded 1.55 xGA. In terms of expected goals conceded, they rank in the bottom three (30.94), and with Zito Luvumbo injured, Davide Nicola lacks a strong wing player.
In terms of points lost, Inter Milan are level with the league leaders Atalanta (both with 40 points), and their victory over Como (2:0) saw them match the Bergamaschi in goals scored (42), with a game in hand. They have the best shooting efficiency this season (scoring 6.48 more goals than their xG). Over the weekend, Marcus Thuram will have the opportunity to lead the scoring charts (12+3 in Serie A).
Since September 2019, Inter Milan have defeated Cagliari in four consecutive matches, three times by a two-goal margin. Once again, they are expected to be far superior this time.
