Cagliari vs Inter Milan: Match Prediction

While Cagliari are on an incredible undefeated run in the last few games. The difference in the quality of squads will help the visitors. Inter will be expected to snatch the victory at the Sardegna Arena. The game could be a high goal-scoring match as, in the last nine clashes between the two sides, eight have resulted in 3 goals or more. 

Cagliari vs Inter Milan: Fantasy Team

Goalkeeper

Yann Sommer: Inter’s Yann Sommer could be a great pick for the solitary goal-keeper spot. His opposing end’s keeper, Boris Radunović is highly selected but could be facing a lot of shots from the Inter forwards including the likes of Lautaro Martinez.

Defenders

Federico Dimarco: Inter’s left wing-back, Federico Dimarco could be among the points for both his defending and attacking prowess. In Inter’s last game, he created four chances and even had a shot on target. On top of this, he is a great defender and will gather multiple points while defending as well.

Alessandro Bastoni: Inter’s centre-back Alessandro Bastoni is another defender who could be among the points. He is already one of the highest-selected players among the two sides. Against Monza, he won four tackles and completed 60 passes. 

Stefan De Vrij: The 32-year-old centre-back for Inter Milan is a highly experienced defender. The Dutch is a rock in defence and will not only be a crucial player for Inter but he could also be a great pick for your fantasy side.

Gabriele Zappa: The first player from Cagliari on the fantasy team will be Gabriele Zappa. The right-back is another player who could score fantasy points for both his defending as well as attacking prowess. 

Alberto Dossena: Alberto Dossena scored the highest points from the Cagliari team. He will be an important player for the home side at the centre-back position.

Mid-fielders

Hakan Calhanoglu (VC): Turkish captain, Hakan Calhanoglu will be the vice-captain of the fantasy team. The midfielder is considered to be a free-kick specialist which makes him an efficient player as he can create chances, score goals and assist other players. 

Denzel Dumfries: Another Dutch footballer makes it into the team with Denzel Dumfries becoming the 6th player from Inter to make it into the team. Dumfries is someone who could also play as a defender for Inter which allows him to generate more points.

Antoine Makoumbou: The 25-year-old mid-fielder was not at his best in the last game vs Torino but still was able to generate enough points to make it into this XI. He played the full 90 minutes in the last game which shows that he is trusted by his manager and will not substituted early.

Nahitan Nandez: Uruguayan midfielder, Nahitan Nandez was one of the best performers from the Cagliari team in their goalless draw against Torino. Nandez had one shot on target as well as created two chances.

Forward

Lautaro Martinez (C): It would be foolish to give any other player from the fantasy XI the captain’s armband. Lautaro Marinez rightfully earned the captain spot with the brace he scored against Monza.
