AI-assisted match preview written from official match data.
The hosts arrive on the back of a WWDDW sequence in their recent matches, including wins over Parma, Arezzo and Modena alongside draws with Nice and Union Berlin. Inter's own run reads WWWDD, with victories against Monza, Real Betis and Juventus either side of draws with AC Milan and Manchester City.
The two sides have met five times recently, with Inter winning three of those meetings by scores including 3-0 and 3-1, while Cagliari's sole win in that span came 2-0; the most recent encounter, in April 2026, ended 3-0.
Inter's WWWDD run edges out Cagliari's WWDDW form on paper, though both sides opened the season with a win.
Cagliari meet Inter in the Serie A (Regular Season - 2). Kick-off is Sunday, 30 August 2026, 18:45 UTC at Unipol Domus.
