Prediction: 2-3
Inter
Cagliari will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Parma and Lecce when they face Inter in the Serie A round 5. The Rossoblu rolled over Frosinone 4-1 in the Coppa Italia last 32 as well, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of Inter’s visit. Gabriel Zappa is unlikely to feature for the home team after picking up a knock in the midweek clash, while key attacker Andrea Belotti should be recalled to the starting XI after he was rested against Frosinone.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Sassuolo. Inter are determined to melt Napoli’s advantage in the Serie A standings and with Cagliari suiting Christian Chivu’s troops, away win should be considered. You should know that Inter have defeated Cagliari in eight of the previous ten meetings between the two teams in all competitions. Lautaro Martinez is pushing for a start after coming off the bench against the Neroverdi, while Christian Chivu has no fresh injury concerns.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Cagliari):
Cagliari are a professional football club based in Cagliari, Sardinia. I Rossoblu (The Red and Blues) compete in Italian Serie A and the club’s biggest success came in 1970, when they won the national championship.
Cagliari finished the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of Juventus and it has to be noted that Luigi Riva led Cagliari to their first Serie A trophy.
I Rossoblu welcome their rivals at Stadio Sant’Elia and the capacity of the stadium is 16,000. In the 1993/1994 season Cagliari made it to the UEFA Cup semis, with the team suffering a loss to fellow Italian club Inter in the two-legged tie.
Giuseppe Pancaro helped Cagliari record a 3-2 win over Inter in the first leg, but I Rossoblu were hammered by the Nerazzurri in the second leg (3-0). Palermo are regarded as Cagliari’s main rivals and the two teams square off against each other in the Derby delle Isole.
