Inter vs Cagliari: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction
Inter welcome Cagliari to San Siro as they continue their defence of the Serie A crown.
The Nerazzuri's 2-0 defeat away to Real Madrid in midweek meant they had to settle for second place in their Champions League group, but they will nevertheless take huge confidence from their domestic form after an eight-game unbeaten run.
Inter have moved to within a point of rivals Milan at the top of the table and could end the weekend in first place if Stefano Pioli's side fall short against Udinese on Saturday.
Cagliari, meanwhile, are languishing in the relegation zone having tasted victory just once all season ahead of their clash with the champions.

The Nerazzurri have reigned supreme in four out of their last five meetings with Cagliari stretching back to September 2019.

Inter vs Cagliari score prediction
Inter are the form side in Serie A and the arrival of Inzaghi in the summer may have been a blessing in disguise in their search for back-to-back Serie A crowns.
The Nerazzurri's 3-0 success at the Stadio Olimpico against Roma last time out underlined their goalscoring prowess, with the likes of Ivan Perisic, Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martinez in particularly menacing form.
Cagliari will be hoping they haven't run into Inter at the wrong time - but don't count on it.
