Inter Milan go in search of the first of successive wins they need to wrap up the Serie A title on Sunday. (More Football News)
Cagliari are the visitors to San Siro and victory will mean Simone Inza෴ghi’s men can wrap up their first Scudetto in three years with a three-point return against their city rivals AC Milan ⛦in their following match on April 22.
Inzaghi had an eye on the remaining seven fixtures after that match when he sꦯaid: “We’re 🅷playing clubs fighting against relegation or for the top spots… We can’t let our concentration slip.”
The Nerazzurri have won 12 and drawn one of their 13 matches since the turn of the year and have been beaten🍸 only once in the competition since the start of the season – a shock home loss to struggling Sassuolo in September the 🦄only blemish in an impressive campaign.
H✤owever, the leaders, who๊ have scored in every match, will be without top goalscorer Lautaro Martinez against Cagliari because of suspension.
The Sardinians’ knack of picking up points from losing positioꦬns has aided their bid for survival.
Ten points from their last five matches have lifted Cagliari four points clear of the relega💜tion zone as they bid to avoid an🎀 immediate return to the second tier of Italian football.
The last time they won this contest was in 2016 as two goals in the fina🍎l 19 minutes turned the contest on its head against an Inter side who finished f🦩ourth, a distant 24 points behind champions Juventus.
However, Claudio Ranieri’s team are not at their best away from home in the curﷺrent cam⛦paign.
They have picke🍃d up just seven points from their 15 games and netted a league-low nine goals on their travels.
