Kick-off is scheduled for 20:45 CEST (00:15 IST on April 18). The Nerazzurri, currently sitting top of the table, are in scintillating form and aiming to maintain their title push, while mid-table Cagliari look to avoid the drop with a resilient defensive display.<\/p>\n<h3>Match Details<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Date & Time: <\/b>Friday, April 17, 2026 | 20:45 CEST \/ 00:15 IST (April 18)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Venue<\/b>: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro), Milan<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Competition<\/b>: Serie A 2025\/26<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Referee<\/b>: Matteo Marchetti (expected)<\/p>\n<p>Inter enter as heavy favourites after extending their lead at the summit. Cagliari, hovering around 16th place, have shown fight on the road but face a daunting task against the league leaders. Head-to-head history heavily favours Inter at home, with the Rossoblu struggling to pick up points in Milan.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Where to Watch Inter Milan vs Cagliari<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 <b>United States<\/b>: Paramount+, DAZN<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>United Kingdom & Ireland<\/b>: DAZN \u2013 exclusive rights for every Serie A game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Canada<\/b>: DAZN or Fubo.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>India<\/b>: DAZN.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Potential Lineups<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Inter manager <strong>Cristian Chivu<\/strong> may rotate slightly with the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Como coming up soon. Captain <strong>Lautaro Mart\u00ednez<\/strong> is sidelined with a thigh injury. Yann Bisseck could also miss out.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Inter Milan Predicted Lineup (3-5-2)<\/strong>: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, \u00c7alhano\u011flu, Mkhitaryan (or Zielinski), Dimarco; Thuram, Francesco Pio Esposito (or Bonny).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Veteran <strong>Henrikh Mkhitaryan<\/strong> is tipped to start in midfield ahead of Piotr Zielinski for freshness.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Cagliari Predicted Lineup (3-5-2 or 4-3-2-1)<\/strong>: Caprile; Ze Pedro (or Palestra), Mina, Rodriguez (or Obert); Palestra, Folorunsho, Gaetano, Deiola, Obert; S. Esposito, Borrelli (or similar attacking setup).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Cagliari will likely park the bus and look for counter-attacks or set-pieces, relying on players like Yerry Mina and Sebastiano Esposito.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">Score Prediction<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Inter Milan 3-0 Cagliari<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Inter\u2019s attacking depth (Thuram, Esposito, and midfield creators) should overwhelm Cagliari\u2019s defense. Even with rotation, the Nerazzurri\u2019s home dominance and Cagliari\u2019s poor away record against big teams point to a comfortable win. Experts widely favor a multi-goal victory for the hosts with a clean sheet likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inter Milan host Cagliari in a crucial Serie A 2025\/26 Matchday 33 clash at the iconic San Siro Stadium on\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":49052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4653],"tags":[5230,422],"class_list":["post-49043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-serie-a","tag-cagliari","tag-inter-milan"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49043"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49053,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49043\/revisions\/49053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
