| Cagliari has poaitioned itself deep into the relegation zone of Serie A and is currently fighting against free fall. The team registered four defeats in a row that is the worst series since February. During this phase, the home team only scored one goal a clear sign that their attack is falling far short of expectations. In Italy there is no winter break. So there is no time to regroup. In any case, the criticism of coach Davide Nicola is getting louder and louder. After the bitter 1-2 defeat against direct rivals Venezia, he emphasized the progress in terms of performance but the results are still lacking.
At home, Cagliari has managed to get 9 of the 14 points so far. Two wins, three draws and four defeats show that there is still some hope. On the other hand, Inter is currently playing at a completely different level. Three wins in a row, ten goals scored and not a single one conceded. Simone Inzaghi's team is in top form. Recent successes included highlights such as a confident 2-0 win against Como and the trashing 6-0 away victory against Lazio in Rome. This triumph is the second highest away win in the club's history and shows that Inter is on it's way to winning the title again. |
