Inter Milan are aiming to strengthen their lead at the top of the table when they host Cagliari in a Friday night Italian Serie A fixture.

The Nerazzurri are inching closer to the title and are doing some of their best work at home lately. They should be too strong for the visitors, who are struggling at the moment.

Inter Milan News

Inter Milan showed great character to fight back from two goals down to win 4-3 at Como in their previous Serie A fixture. Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries each netted a brace as the Nerazzurri secured all three points.

That result means Inter Milan are unbeaten in five of their last six Serie A matches and sit nine points clear at the top of the table. Cristian Chivu's team are also unbeaten in their last seven home matches in the league and have led at the break in the last three fixtures in this run.

Captain Lautaro Martinez was rested at Como and could return to the team as he looks to add to his 16 Serie A goals this season. Seven of Inter Milan's last 10 home matches across all competitions have produced over 2.5 goals.

Cagliari News

The target for Cagliari in the final weeks of the season is to secure their top-flight status as they sit six points above the bottom three. However, their recent form has been troubling, having failed to win eight of their last nine Serie A matches, suffering six defeats in this run.

Cagliari did claim a 1-0 home victory over Cremonese last time out, and manager Fabio Pisacane will be keen to build on that result. However, they are winless in five of their last six away matches, losing four times in this run.

Cagliari often struggle to keep things tight at the back and have conceded at least two goals in six of their last nine away matches. Seven of those nine fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Inter Milan have 14 wins and two draws, while Cagliari have been victorious just twice in the last 18 matches. The Nerazzurri claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in September, with Martinez opening the scoring.

Verdict

Inter Milan v Cagliari

Inter Milan will be targeting a fast start, and having led at the break in their last three home matches, a similar pattern could be in the cards. The hosts have earned a win and over 2.5 goals in two of the last three matches against Cagliari and could be set for a repeat here.

Lautaro Martinez is Inter Milan's leading scorer with 16 Serie A goals and will be keen to improve his tally. Having also been on target in the last three matches against Cagliari, the striker could be backed to find the net once again.
