A Serie A clash between two sides separated by just 2 places in the table. Cagliari (3rd, 3 pts) and Inter (1st, 3 pts) both have plenty to play for.
Inter could be in for a similar cool-off. 4.0 goals a game against chance quality worth only 1.7. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much. Cagliari have been even sharper lately. The chances they create are worth 1.6 a game over their last 5 compared to a season average of 1.3. They're creating more as the season goes on.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Cagliari create chances worth 1.3 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them -0.1 a game on the balance. Inter create 1.7 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of +0.3. On the quality of chances, Inter look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. Inter are also scoring more than their chances suggest (4.0 goals vs chance quality of 1.7). Both runs could cool off at once. Cagliari are trending upwards. Their chances are worth 1.6 a game over the last 5 vs 1.3 for the season. They're in a real attacking groove.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Cagliari are scoring 1.0 a game (1.0 of those at home) and Inter manage 4.0 (4.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 53%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 44%.
Both teams score in 37% of Cagliari's home games and 42% of Inter's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Matches involving Cagliari always carry an extra edge. When you're challenging at the top, every fixture is scrutinised, every dropped point analysed. Inter will know they need to be at their best to get a result here.
A result here could reshape the title picture. Inter (1st) visit Cagliari (3rd) knowing anything less than a win could see them slip.
Inter have goals in them (4.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.0 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
Most likely scorelines: 0-2 (9%) and 1-2 (9%).
